Day 195: Five Years of Fridays....

 
Underneath my bubble umbrella! :)
 "You do not have to move mountains today. Start with a small rock or two and repeat. Stay focused on the small stones and the mountain will take care of itself". ~ 21 Day Companion Workbook to Begin with Yes, Paul S. Boynton

I am on day 13 of Paul S. Boynton's  21 Day Companion Workbook to Begin with Yes. As you can probably tell by now, I am a big fan of workbooks, graphs, lists and journals.  In my humble opinion, the minutes of our lives tick by whether we are conscious, active, or doing nothing at all. I choose to do something!  But I can get so scattered. Keeping track keeps me on track and also allows me to review my progress.  I wish I had stuck to this my whole life! But now is a good time.

Speaking of graphs, I just reviewed five years of Fridays on my weightcommander site.  Granted, I was not always so disciplined (or ready to be faced with) my weight loss journey.  But I am pleased to announced that today I am 39 pounds lighter than I was about this same time in 2010! :) YAY!

I love weightcommander.  I am sure I've talked about this site before. But I signed up back in the early days of the internet. The man that runs it has had success with losing weight and keeping it off.  He sends daily emails of healthy snack ideas. And it is free!  Also, you can set a 30-day weight loss goal. My goal is 185 by Christmas! :)

If you are into it, you can view my five year graph of Fridays below:

Feeling very proud of my progress!  I have other goals which I can share at another time. But before I get sucked into the world wide web, I need to head out to the gym!

Happy Friday! :)

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!
