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! ;)

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,  ...

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!

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...
