Year Three, Day 68, 34 Days Hooping, Day 7 Grain-Free!


Day 7 Grain Free!

I am really starting to like this way of life!

I had a wonderful hoop session this morning. One of the regular track guys actually complimented me on my "hooping exercise!" I wore my Snoopy shirt again today. The one that is too tight. I am hoping to show a progression soon. I am feeling lighter, but the belly fat seems to be the last to go!

My allergies have subsided a bit too. Not as much coughing last night!

I am at my library office. It is a perfect day here in Portland, Oregon. It is sunny and about 75 degrees. There is a nice breeze.

I am going to meet my daughter for a nice, healthy lunch shortly.

Speaking of lunch, I discovered a healthy, CHEAP grain free lunch yesterday. I was teaching in the SE Hawthorne district. I decided to get a salad at Pepino's. Which is most brave of me, since I used to love to binge on chips and salsa!

But I was a strong, disciplined woman! I ordered the "Verde Salad" which is just a green salad with cheese and a vinegar and oil dressing. I had it topped with chopped steak. It was only $7.20 and plenty to eat! I had ice water to drink. So as of today, I have stuck with my grain free diet for 7 days!

WOOT WOOT!

I stopped at Fred Meyer's on the way home to pick up some of the supplements Dr. Davis suggested. I walked away with only Vitamin D. I need to wait until payday to get the rest. The fish oil he recommended was $27 for a small bottle (liquid). But I trust in him and am attempting to follow his plan as closely as possible. I have not yet tried any of his recipes. because I am usually too busy to cook, but I am really looking forward to making some "fat bombs"!

More about the tomorrow.

I have a most pregnant daughter to meet for lunch!

Happy Wednesday!

Enjoy this divine weather!

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

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!
