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 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...

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,  ...
