I am still fasting. I usually eat from 10:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
I am needing to eat healthier during my eating window. I know this because I am achy and grumpy this morning. I know Grumpy was one of the Seven Dwarves. But Achy? I think they need to make and 8th Dwarf!
And I attribute it to too much sodium. Probably those french fries.
So today I had opened my eating window with brown rice, one half of a sweet potato, broccoli, kim chi and black beans. And hot tea. That was about 10:45 a.m. Then 30 minutes later I had tuna and rice crackers.
My window closes at 2:45 today. Lately, I get a panicked feeling about 1:30, knowing the window is closing soon. And usually that is right before I start teaching. So I dive into a nearby fast food joint to get my last meal.
I could pack my lunch. Sometimes I do. But then I have to lug it around. And I seriously have this ritual of stopping somewhere for coffee, iced tea or a small meal before I teach. It gives me time to recharge, think, read, pray.
Today I ate well, but when I thought about putting together a rice bowl for the road, I shook my head. I am tired, achy and grumpy. I will go to Starbucks before I teach. I packed some cherries and a small sandwich. I will probably need one more thing.
Just not french fries.
And I definitely need to raise my water intake. And limit my time on social media.
I am staying tuned and aware. But I am not a newscaster. I don't need to post breaking news. Not sure why I've done that in the past. Perhaps it was me wanting to prove that I was visible by live streaming my consciousness to the vast world wide web.
I think I'll go back into my shell. It's safe and warm in my shell. I can read many books, pray, plan, and nap.
My brother suggested I need a break. He suggested the beach. That sounds lovely. I do love the ocean. If I only had the time. Someday....
I am still dreaming of a cross country hike. Perhaps one state at a time. Before fall term begins, I am planning on doing a few short hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. I am excited about taking the "Columbia Gorge Express".

I think that will give me a good reset. Lord knows I need one!
On that note, I need to run.
Happy Thursday!
Love,
Zita
P.S. Here's today's hooping video. Day 124!
