Day 337: Revelation!

Feeling rather accomplished!

I finished reading the book of Revelation this morning. I set a goal to read the entire bible from Genesis to Revelation about a year and a half ago. My original plan was to it in a year. I read from the NOV version ("New International Version).

Wow, it feels good to achieve a goal. I am now going to start again in Genesis, this time reading from the King James Bible. I really love the language- all those thees, thines and thous!

Now if I could only accomplish my weight loss goal!

I am doing much better with my mornings. My trick? I resist the urge to lie in bed with my Kindle, watching Doc Martin episodes, scanning Facebook or looking up recipes. I just turn off the lights t, say a prayer and go to sleep. Wow! What a concept! And what a difference it has made. Yes, I still hit the snooze button, but I am not as groggy. And I am nit as sore in the morning.

I am also continuing to take a multiple vitamin, magnesium and copious amounts of water.

I do need to step up my workouts. I go to the gym about 4 days a week and walk everyday. But I need to increase the intensity and duration. But I am pleased. I am coming up on one year of blogging about my physical, emotional and spiritual growth. I have stuck with something for nearly a year! This is huge!

I have decided to continue daily blogging after the first year. It keeps me a accountable, if only to myself.

I am still pondering psalm 28, but now I shall shareth the King James version with thee!


28 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent [1] to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2  Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 3  Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 4  Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 5  Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6  Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7  The Lordis my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 8  The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 9  Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed [2] them also, and lift them up for ever.

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!
