Year Two, Day 111: Plan C

I am feeling rather annoyed and slightly irritable today.

Not about anything that happened.

Rather, about something that has not happened...yet!

I have been so proud of myself for waking up earlier without hitting the snooze button (well at least for not hitting it for an hour!). Most of the time, I am just popping up, stretching, making coffee and starting my day. I am clearer headed and can definitely use the time that I used to blatantly waste with extra sleep!

This morning I got up extra early. The plan was to run up to the gym for an early morning workout before church.

I have a student piano recital this evening, so I wanted to make sure I got in a workout.

I find that I get increasingly grumpy and on edge, the longer it is between workouts.

This is a breakthrough!

But, sadly, the bus schedules were off this morning. I did not make it to the gym before church.

So I made a breakfast burrito instead. Had a leisurely breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, spent some time with God.

But I still had time to kill. So I made a big bowl of potato salad! :)

Potato salad always cheers me up. But alas, we were out of olives. So I added that to my list of things I needed to do on the way home.

After church, I got my olives and headed home to feed the dog and have lunch. My plan B was to stop at home and then head to the gym.

But alas... sigh. My son also came home from lunch. And I have missed my son! I have not seen much of him lately. So I made him a cheeseburger quesadilla and we visited.

And I ran out of time to get to the gym.

So, here I am. Blogging.

Plan C is go to the recital from home. It is going to be a nice, small, casual affair. My numbers are way down in the summer. I think maybe 12 students will be playing.

I think I will perform too.

And THEN!!!!

After the recital...

AT LAST!!!

THE GYM!!!!!!

I have to go. I must!

Tomorrow is weight and measurement day.

And I am determined to conquer this battle!

And I am exceedingly grumpy!

Happy Sunday!

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!
