Day 257: Signs, Bone Broth and One Less Pound!

This is what's going on at my house! lol

Yesterday, I had a day off from teaching. I lingered over my blog and made a new plan yesterday.

Then I made a pot of tea and I posted a sign outside my bedroom door and got to practicing!

On a bathroom break, I walked out into the hallway and noticed a sign my son-in-law had made. LOL! I thought it was eerily quiet in the house. My son was at work and my daughter was on a job interview. I thought my son-in-law was watching a game. Apparently we have inspired one another!

Here is my list of accomplishments for yesterday:

Piano Practice 2 hours
Breakfast, prayer and bible study 1/2 hour
Email 1 hour
Piano Practice 1hour
Trail Walk: 1.5 miles
Shower, etc 1/2 hour
Made Dinner (roast chicken and cauliflower!) 1/2 hour prep
Laundry 1/2 hour
Stretched 15 minutes
Dinner 1/2 hour
Made bone broth with the chicken carcass 15 min prep
Stretched 15 min
Made popcorn 5 min
Watched movie ("Still Alice"- loved this movie! I also started to worry about my memory, which has never been good!) 90 min
Ate popcorn, 15 min, and too many calories!
Downloaded a memory game on my Kindle 10 min
Played memory game 15 min
Read a book ("Then Sings My Soul: 150 of the World's Greatest Hymn Stories") 1 hour
Epsom salts bath 1/2 hour
Bed 11:30 pm

Today I am going to drink bone broth for breakfast, stretch and practice piano. I was so inspired from my reading, that I have decided to incorporate hymns into my prayer time. Isaac Wattss, who wrote "Joy to the World" wrote over 750 hymns, Charles Wesley wrote over 5,00!! Should give me plenty of material to wonder, sing and study!

On another note, (pun intended), I weigh 185 today! Even with popcorn!

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!
