Note: I love blogging! It keeps me sane. I've been sharing my life with my readers for nearly 5 years now. And during these pandemic times, I've been giving video updates everyday. I hope to someday turn my writing into a book of some sort, but for now, my blogging is fairly raw and transparent. If you have enjoyed reading this blog, please show me some support by clicking on the button and buying me a cup of coffee! And please feel free to share this blog! :)
Hello Friends!
We are in Phase 1 of reopening here in Washington. Governor Jay Inslee said that Phase 2 is scheduled to begin 6/0/2020 in Washington state, but this is subject to change. Here is an article about Phase 2:
Phase 2 - Washington
In the meantime, he advises people to stay home unless you have an essential job, or essential activities, like grocery shopping, exercise, dog walking, medical appointments and caring for others.
With proper social distancing, masks in public places, and scrupulous hand washing techniques, of course!
I got this down!
I was pondering about how time seems to fly, despite the fact I've been socially isolating for nearly two months. One thing that I've been doing more of lately, that is time consuming, but quite rewarding, is cooking, I eeally am quite enjoying my own cooking lately. Still immersed in Middle Easter cuisine. I could seriously eat like this the rest of my life. The key is fresh produce, lots of lemon, garlic, and Za'atar!
On a big, happy, side note, I have lost 3 pounds since I tweaked my intermittent fasting regimen a bit the other day. My eating window is approximately 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with my largest meal at 10.
At 3:00 I make popcorn (topped with olive oil and Za'atar!). At 5:00 p.m. during my fast, I make my "magic, miracle, fat burning, spicy, healing broth". It's less than 15 calories, so it is allowed during my fast. I use a bit of chicken bouillon, garlic powder, ginger, turmeric and a splash of lemon juice.
The rest of the evening, I drink water and herbal tea.
I think I might at last have a routine that I can stick to. Thank you, pandemic!
I am happy to report that I walked AND did a Qi Gong/weighted hoop workout today.
I had a good Saturday! I hope you did too!
Have a restful evening. Talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
Zita
