Year Two: Day 1, A New Beginning. Repetition is the Key To Learning...

May 9, 2016:  Year 2/Day 1


Back to the ol' drawing board I am!

I have spent some time reviewing my posts from the past year. And reflecting.

But now I am ready to move forward. And kick some booty!

My new goal is to lose 40 pounds by this time next year.

My strategy is to continue eating healthy, focusing on vegetables, lean protein, fruit and nuts.  Still avoiding gluten. Still pounding mega quantaties of water.

I intend to continue with daily exercise, but raise the bar. I know. I have said this before! But I will keep saying it until I do it!

I also really want to work on confronting my food as recreation, entertainment and celebration mindset.  And just eat when hungry.  I know. I have said this before. But, see above...

I also want to really work on getting up earlier in the morning so I have time for all of this living.

I know.

I have said it before.


SAYING IT ALL AGAIN! 

 Repetition is the key to learning.  

Repetition is the key to learning. 

Repetition is the key to learning.

REPEAT until my bone head gets it!

So here are today's stats.

Chest: 41.5"
Waist 38"

Thighs: 22.5"

Happy Monday!

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

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!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...
