Year Three, Day 57: NO MERCY, B.F.!

Today is day 23 of daily hooping. I did a rush job of recording because I was running late to meet my mom for breakfast. So today is a short video. In the backyard. I think I will hoop at the track from now on. A little more space there.

I had another sleepless night. Tossed and turned! Turned and tossed!

I made the mistake of reserving a movie from the library solely based on the actor listed. Rupert Friend. Who I fell for in Homeland.

I really miss Homeland! I feel like I personally know the characters. Rupert Friend played Peter Quinn. One of my favorites.

But not so much in the movie "Hitman", which played like an action video game.

Most annoying.

Oh! I just read that the movie was based on the Hit-man games. That explains a lot. It wasn't horrible. But it did not hold a candle to Homeland.

Sigh.

I did a lot of soul searching as I tossed and turned. And also while I turned and tossed!

Then I gave up trying to find a position where sleep would find me.

And I updated my profile on a free online dating site.

Yes, back to the fishing pond. But no great expectations. It is just nice to have a man in my pocket who I can text on a lonely, sleepless night.

One thing I did come away with after all that tossing, turning and soul searching is this: I NEED TO KICK THIS BELLY FAT IN THE BUTT!

Sick of it, I am! And most impatient I have become.

Watch out B.F.!!I am not going to show you any more mercy!

Dinner is a turkey burger on a GF bun , side salad with balsamic vinegraite, and unsweetened iced tea. At Burgerville. No fries!! It is 7:15 p.m. no more food until tomorrow.

After I post this blog, I am going to the gym.

The time has come.

NO MERCY!!

Oh, and happy Saturday!

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love, peace and pure determination,

Zita

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!
