Year Two, Day 95: Vinegar People

Still drinking my juice and vinegar tonic. I am trying it with tart cherry juice (no sugar added, mixed with apple juice) and apple cider vinegar today. I've adjusted the ratio: just about 1/8 cup juice over ice, fill the rest of the cup with sparkling water, top off with about three tablespoons vinegar.

It is tangy and refreshing. Plus, I seem to be feeling more balanced and less prone to food cravings.

I ran out of vinegar earlier. So I walked up to the little corner store. I was surprised they had it in stock. I told the young sales clerk about my vinegar drink. She was surprisingly very interested, even wrote down the "recipe"! :)

Nice to know there are other vinegar people out there! She even confided that she drinks pickle juice from the jar.

I stared at her. "I thought only my kids and I did that", I laughed.

I've been making it to the gym at least once a day, sometimes twice- I like ending the day with a swim and a hot tub. My aching feet thank me!

But I am extremely self-conscious of my swimming form, especially after watching some of the Olympic athletes. Luckily I am usually there late at night, and often have the pool to myself.

Simone Manual I am not! :)

This will be a short post today. I am on break between students.I need to get some piano practice in tonight.

I've not been riding my bike lately. I miss it. Now that my energy has increased, I plan on biking to work more often.

Once the hot weather breaks.

But now, the bus I shall catch!

Happy Friday!

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, ...

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...
