Year Three, Day 75: Double PPFFLIN!

I can breathe better today.  Just a little coughing last night.

Today is 14 days of my grain-free diet, if you don't count that barley incident! (I'm not counting it, because I didn't realize there was barley in my veggie soup!)

So I celebrated with a new burgundy hair color (suggested by my wonderful daughter!):

I say "new" hair color, but this color and hair style takes me WAY back. This is pretty close to what I looked like about 30 years ago, but without glasses and a few less wrinkles!

I posted the above grain free face pic on the 10-Day Grain Detox page on Facebook, and Dr. Davis himself commented this morning!  He said, " I believe we can see a reduction in cheek puffiness, Zita!"

 It is indescribable the feeling I have reading Dr. Davis' books, following his plan and having wild success! On top of that, to be complimented by the author himself. Most flattered am I!

Now if I can only get rid of that double chin...sigh...but I must remind myself, that I am on this journey mostly to enhance my health, improve my energy, clear my mind and be a better mother, teacher, sister, daughter, friend, employee and GRANDMA!

Double chin, double PPFFLIN!, I'm ok with a double chin if I can breathe, walk several miles, hoop, smile, praise God, love my family and enjoy my life!



On that note, have a happy Wednesday.  I am going to. Double PPFFLIN and all!


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 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...
