Year Three, Day 71: The Way of the Hoop

I did it! I survived the 10-Day Grain Detox (following the book by Dr. William Davis).

I lost 5 pounds. One inch from my waist! I feel good! I am not starving. I am sleeping better. My mind is clearer.

Still struggling with the hay fever, or seasonal allergy thing. But the coughing is easing up.

Best of all, I am so much less obsessed with food than before! Probably because the fat is satisfying. Carbs tend to create cravings and binges. And addiction. At least for me!

So today, instead of taking myself out to dinner (my usual reward), I celebrated with getting my hair shampooed and cut.

I feel even lighter now!

I most DEFINITELY will continue this WOE (way of eating). And I will most DEFINITELY continue the way of the hoop!

I still would like to lose about 30 pounds. But I am not in a hurry. Now that I found a system that works.

I will now return to pondering other aspects of life:

God
Music
Love - Someday perhaps my prince will come?
Family- Including my new granddaugter coming soon!
Friends
Art
Crafts
And just being!!

On that note, I wish you a wonderful beingness! And a happy Saturday!

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love and light,

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, ...
