Day 114: GF Pumpkin/Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this morning.

Where have you been all my life? I seriously enjoy the taste of almond flour and flax meal. It is not floury tasting. More grainy. And my tummy is very happy! Also, these cookies are rich and moist. I don't feel the need to eat more than one. I just savor each morsel!

:)

I am puttering around this morning. Enjoying a week with no rigid schedule.

I am getting ready for lunch with my friend Sandy. I think we are doing Bloody Mary's at the Ram.

I should probably just have one. Because I need to either hit the trail or the gym when I get home.

I feel almost pain free this morning. I just stepped on the scale. Of course, I wish the numbers were going down more quickly. But I am happy with my state of mind and relaxed physical state.

I am going to finish my tea and do a bit of bible study.

I am also looking forward to spending some time with my ukulele and my piano.

My daughter and son-in-law come back from hunting later today. I have enjoyed spending time with my son, but I miss my daughter and her hubby almost as much as Honey dog does!

Here are my stats:

BP,Weight and Measurements 8/31/2015

BP: 96/74
Pulse: 64

Weight: 193 lbs

Neck: 14"

Chest: 43"

Waist: 38"

Hips: 45.5"

Biceps: R 14"/L 14

Thighs: R 22.5/L 22.5"

Calves: R 15"/L 14.5"

Ankles: R 9"/L 9"

Not much difference from last week. But I am so impressed with my pulse and BP! I have been focusing primarily on my eating habits recently. So now that I have some extra time on my hands, I will be focusing more on exercise. That waist needs to budge in a downward direction!

Happy Monday!

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night. I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers". If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea. Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever. The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience. This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award! :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks. On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy". I have found the per...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
