Year Three, Day 67, 33 Days Hooping, Day 6 Grain Free!

I had a really hard time with my allergies last night.  Hacked like a smoker all night. 

I was wondering if I would even be up to hooping this morning!

But I forced myself to get vertical, drank a big glass of water with vitamin C powder mixed in and grabbed my hoop before my bed could lure me back.

Once I got out in the sun, walking to my favorite tree, I started to feel more human. I had a good workout.  I am hooping to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony today. How profound is that! It actually goes nicely with my hooping. The amusing thing is that I hooped without music and added it on Youtube afterwards and it syncs nicely!





A nice lady was walking on the track with her children. She stopped and asked about my hooping. I told her today was 33 days straight hooping. She was most impressed!

And suddenly I felt better.

I had a good grain free breakfast:  sauerkraut (which is probiotic), chicken sausage (0 grams of sugar), cucumbers, kimchi (also probiotic!), and TZATZIKI (I am hooked!).  I also had a big mug of black tea mixed with ginger tea.

I feel fabulous!


In Dr. Davis' books, he talks about how some people experience severe withdrawal symptoms during the grain detox. Perhaps that is partially what this is.

But my face does look better!  I am feeling more hopeful today. And the thought of eating this way for the rest of my life is not too daunting anymore.  My amazing roommate, who eats essentially a paleo diet gave me these words of wisdom:  "Focus on all the wonderful things you CAN eat, rather than feel deprived about what you CAN'T eat."

Good words to live by!

I sat down and wrote down all the restaurants that I frequent, where I can get a good grain-free meal for less than $10. And I wrote down exactly what I can eat. It takes the guess work out!  Plus I have my eating plan for eating at home and snacks tattooed in my brain.

I got this!


I am going out into this beautiful day to teach, walk, breathe, smile, and praise God!  Not worrying about my next meal is most liberating!


Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita

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...
