Day 173: An Altered Schedule and an Emergency Rice Cake!

I made it to the gym again today.  Very proud of myself.  I worked back and biceps and a bit of elliptical.  I didn't get a chance to do any crunches, plank or stretching because I was heading out to teach some students. I am on a break right now, at the library. I have one more student before I stop at the grocery store and then head home.

I plan on doing some yoga with some soft background music when I get home.

I didn't pack any food today.  I really regret that.  I woke up and hit the floor running. My schedule has been altered this week. I don't mind that so much, but it has thrown me off. Today I had a morning rehearsal of the Honeybee musical I am accompanying at one of the grade schools.  Several of my students cancelled their lessons this week because of school carnivals.

I'm ok with change. But I really missed having a meal in my backpack. I did however, have the foresight to pack 2 rice cakes. I actually did have a rice cake emergency! I had planned on going home for lunch, but ended up sitting over tea and finishing yet another Stephen White Novel (Dry Ice) after rehearsal.  So I was crunched for time. I stopped for a quick cheeseburger on rice cake, salad and unsweetened tea at Burger Kind after my workout.

I am probably going to have to grab another small  meal before I head home.  It's ok. Once in awhile. But tomorrow, my lunch bag goes into my backpack!!

I am still have jaw pain, neck stiffness and overall tension. I think I will definitely have to schedule a massage tomorrow.

But now, I must run off to teach a student.

Happy Thursday! :)

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!
