Day 20 of daily hooping! I am so proud of my perserverence!
My abs are finally shrinking, and the scale is still descending, albeit SLLLOWWWLY!
I have to remember that this is my new life choice. Once I hit my ideal weight, and size (if that ever happens!), I can't just say, "Tada! I've made it!" And then go back to my old ways!
I am committed to daily exercise and healthy eating.
Sorry if I sound like a broken record. But like I tell my piano students, repetition can be boring, but it is how our brains learn!
I hope you, my wonderful readers had a safe July 4th.
Mine was very peaceful, but ended with a big bang!
I had a nice lunch. Then I went to the gym. It was like a ghost town! Had a peaceful swim and soak in the hot tub. It was about 8:30 p.m. when I walked out. It was still warm. I was feeling the need to sit and read. But Starbucks was closed, so I headed to the McDonald's close to home. Ordered a large $1.00 drink and filled it with ice and water. I sat down and read and watched an episode of Homeland on my Kindle.
Suddenly the lights went out. I thought perhaps they were closing early, but I heard one of the workes remark that the fireworks would be starting soon. I looked up and sure enough, the sky exploded! It sounded like a war zone. All up and down SE 82nd, people were setting off fireworks. The illegal kind.
Note: The video at the bottom of the page captures a fraction of what I saw.
It was rather exciting! I packed up and headed out to walk to my bus stop. Then the hairs on my arm stood on end. I was the ONLY one walking on SE 82nd. That is weird.
Perhaps I shouldn't be walking amidst all of the fireworks! I quickened my steps. But it was a glorious sight!
Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. And someone talking.
"Ma'am? Can I ask you something?"
I turned around. I expected a homeless person asking for money. Or perhaps a lost person, seeking the nearest bus stop.
But instead, I saw a young man holding a skate board. He was cute as a button. In his early 20's.
I looked up at him, a little apprehensively.
Yikes! Look at the time!
To be continued....I have to run off to teach piano....ttfn!
Peace,
Zita
