Year Two, Day 155: A Gym Rat Junkie

I have had several senior moment's already and it is only 8:28 a.m.!

Oh well, at least I have cool, red Viking hair!!






 I am on H's bus right now. I made my famous breakfast burritos this morning. At 4:30 a.m. I might as well get a food truck the way I'm going!

I made two burritos with fried potatoes, jalapenos, sausage, bacon, fresh tomatoes and cheese on gluten free tortillas for my son-in-law, two with fried potatoes, jalapenos, bacon, fresh tomatoes and eggs on flour tortillas for H, and four with fried potatoes, jalapenos, sausage, bacon, fresh tomatoes, eggs and cheese on flour tortillas for my daughter, son and I.

I missed H's bus on the first go round. I got to our designated intersection early, but was waiting at the stop going in the wrong direction! So I ended up having coffee at Starbucks downtown and caught him on the return trip.

It was actually quite pleasant to watch the sunrise, sipping a cup of coffee downtown.

I managed to hop on H's bus finally. We finished his route, he had a burrito (unfortunately cold by then) and then we headed to the gym.

I felt a little sluggish today.  I also felt some odd energy from H.

I think the thrill is gone. Sigh.

I wonder if we can really pull off the "just friends" thing?

There were a few rather awkward moments. Like when we were on the treadmill, and Donald Trump's gross "locker room" talk about women was discussed.  H is a hardcore democrat.  And he says he will be very proud to support Hillary and have a female president.

But wasn't one of the issues I had with H his rather racy text messages with me?

I think he sensed the hypocrisy. I know I did. We talked a bit about politics, but I feel like I am stepping on eggshells when we talk.

He talked a lot about work. I enjoyed listening to him. He gets very animated.

After our workout we sat in the hot tub. Like two old ducks. lol

Then he dropped me off at the library.

(It is now 2:18 p.m.)

Here I am, thinking "What just happened?"

Sigh. I do overthink things.

But on the positive side, he encouraged me to raise the incline on the treadmill to get a better workout. I confided in him that I felt sluggish and like I have reached a plateau. I want to go to the next level.

He encouraged me to rest more in between workouts. He thinks I am a "gym rat junkie" and that after awhile I am going to crash.

Perhaps.

But I told him that this is a good addiction!

Speaking of which, I am on my way to ridding myself of my H addiction!

Would be nice to be friends. But I am going to proceed with caution.  Back way up.

And take another look at my Theory of 9 list.

Happy Tuesday!

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 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!

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...
