This will be a short post. It is late and I am most exhausted!
I had a wonderful day. I spent the morning through early afternoon with Baby Gracie, my mother and my daughter. Much female bonding.
Gracie and I have quite the connection. My daughter cannot even nurse her when I am in the room because she pauses every few seconds to turn her head and look for her Zma! It fills my heart with joy to see her eyes light up to see me.
My mother, who had not been feeling well for several weeks came and visited for a few hours. Her doctor has adjusted her blood pressure meds. She has returned to her upbeat, positive, spunky self. Thank goodness. I was beginning to worry!
I did many activities with Gracie after her mom left for work. But it is my mother who has the magic touch when it comes to rocking Baby Gracie to sleep for her morning nap.
I even took my mother's advice today. I am one of those stubborn daughters that usually does not take their parents advice. But today when I confided in her that I am trying yet again to lose weight and am in a contest with my daughter, she said, "You should eat yogurt".
She has been telling me this for years. I usually avoid yogurt. I am not much on sweets usually. And not fond of the texture, and lack of substance in most yogurt.
But, now that my cough is under control. I think I can try to put dairy back in my diet. Yogurt is probiotic and has calcium. It is inexpensive, and easy to carry in my pack for snacks in between students.
I mentioned it to my daughter when she had gotten home from work and my mother had left.
She advised me to read the label. Most yogurt has high sugar content. She suggested Chobani.
Later, before I went to teach at the music center, I stopped at Safeway and headed to the yogurt isle.
And low and behold, sitting there innocently on the shelf between the sugar laden yogurts, was Chobani Greek "A Hint of Madagascar Vanilla and Cinnamon" yogurt.
OMGOODNESS!
It was delicious. A subtle sweetness, thick and creamy. Only 9 grams of sugar. Thankfully I bought two containers. I had one on my break between classes. I was in heaven!
Don't you love it when you find an easy solution to life's little dilemma's?
On that note, I am heading to bed.
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
P.S. Here is today's hooping video. Day 225!
