Day 20,979 Of My Life!

Not sure when I became so obsessed with counting days. But there you have it!

And now I am fully immersed in the book, Tuesdays With Morrie By Mitch Albom.

If  you have not read it, you should definitely read this book. It does tend to put one's life in perspective.

I am having a relatively good day today.  Back in the keto swing of things.  I notice that I am not very hungry on this diet. Which is an amazing thing. I have been hungry most of my life.

Or what I perceive as hungry. I think it was mostly craving. Craving food as a substitute for love. 

Morrie is all about love.  Read the book!

Speaking of love, I took one of the most important people in my life out for her birthday breakfast. My mother. Her actual birthday is tomorrow. I don't think she really wants me to put her age out there for the world wide web to see.

But she is remarkable healthy for her age!

We had a grand time. And I had a scathingly wonderful keto breakfast!



After breakfast we went home and visited with my daughter and granddaughter. My mom then left to return to take care of my father. He has quite advance staged Parkinson's disease, so is not much into traveling these days.

Then my daughter and I took a little outing to the mall.  It was a nice, relaxing Sunday. I don't do much of that. Relaxing, that is.

Soon I will be working again on Sundays at my new church home. I am quite looking forward to it!

I am feeling the need to make more music lately. My heart and soul are aching for my family member in crisis.  Soon I will be able to share with you some of what is on my heart. But not until the case is closed. Sigh. How I wish to share!

But one of the life lessons I am learning is self control. Something I have lacked most of my 20,979 days!

I actually woke up at 5:00 a.m. this morning and got my Qi Gong/Hooping in. I planned on making a trip to the gym, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I am needed at home to watch my granddaughter for a few hours. 

Since I fast in the evening after 7:00 p.m., sometimes as early as 6:00, I don't do well with late workouts because I fear the hunger!

I really need to get over that.

I was told to thing of my growling stomach as burning fat!

Anyway, that is enough insight into this pitiful life for today.  I hope to see the scale budge a bit more tomorrow.

But for now, I wish you and yours a wonderful Sunday evening!

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita
Pitiful me! ;)

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!
