Day 177: Results are Good!

Good morning!
And it has been so far! I woke up with virtually no pain!
I found my old tmj (temporal mandibular joint) mouth guard. It was one I had never used. It was in a box in a drawer in the bathroom. So I stuck it in boiling water and molded it to my jaw. Slept with it in last night. Woke up once to find I had spit it out, but I put it back in. And slept like a baby!


I let myself lay in bed reading for about an hour before I got up.  I will be going to the gym before my first student today. It looks like there was another heavy rain last night. The air smells so fresh. But right now, the sun has come out.  It looks like another beautiful fall day.


I was a little worried about taking my stats this morning. I mean, all those cheeseburgers last week! Granted, they were mostly bunless, except for the gluten free bun yesterday at Burgerville. But still.  I am needing to cut back on meat. Read: CUT BACK ON CHEESEBURGERS!


Also, I read in the news that there has been a recall on ground beef due to e coli outbreaks.  Arrg.


So today for my lunch I am packing a hardboiled egg, sauerkraut, olives, brie cheese, yogurt and a homemade GF pineapple/coconut muffin!


But I am bring my emergency rice cakes with me. Just in case.


Back to the stats. So, pretty the same as last week. BUT I have lost an inch in my hips. WHOOP WOOP!


Since it is colder and wetter than the summer. And I have less time, I am going to be hitting the gym. I am aiming for daily.  Even it is just 20 minutes. Because I am definitely seeing results!


Results are good.


I will continue to walk in between students. But the trail will have to wait until I am on break from teaching.


Here are the stats.  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!
