Year Three, Day 122: Grandmahood

I have grandbaby fever!  She had another good night. She had at least a 3 hour stretch of sleep from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. My daughter and son-in-law looked very well rested this morning. They are adjusting well to new parenthood. It helps too have a really cool little kid! I am so blessed to be included in their lives.  :)



I am happy with three good hours of sleep as long as she is happy!

Plus, she had a pediatric appointment in Portland this morning right about the time I had to be at my church office job. So my son-in-law, daughter and Baby Grace drove me to my gas station to get my morning coffee and then to the church. I was even early, so I was able to get in my beloved hooping!

Day 86:



I will be spending the night in Vancouver about 3 nights a week. I am toying with the idea of bringing my hoop to Vancouver. It comes apart.

I miss my hoop when I am gone!

I stepped on the scale this morning and did not scream. I am still at 179.  Thought I would have gained weight.

So this week I am going to calm myself down and go back to my healthy eating. I will be focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt, nuts, a bit of chicken, fish, the occasional red meat. Staying away from wheat, corn, sugar and processed food.  Drinking lots of water and tea. And morning coffee as needed.

Want to get away from obsessing on food. Just eat healthy, don't binge, or snack or eat at night. Exercise everyday.  Focus on work, family and God.

Sounds like a good way to live, right?

It's all about balance, focusing on the positive, keeping close to God in prayer, and prioritizing.

I got this!

Sorry about the short blog. Busy day. Just finished at the office. Meeting son for lunch and then have students this evening. Then an appointment with my bed for a long, uninterrupted sleep! That's one wonderful perk about grandmahood!

Happy Monday!

Talk to you tomorrow,

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,  ...
