Year Four, Day 255: Three Years of Hooping!

 Hello Friends:

I seemed to be obsessed with my weighted hoop again.  Happily so!  I love my hoop so much, I may have to marry him!


Hmmm...I never thought about the gender of my hoop.  Lol

Anyway, today mark's 7 days in a row of daily hooping. This time around at least. Pun intended. About 3 years ago, when I first acquired my weighted hoop, I was hooping daily. 

 I just looked back through my youtube videos. My first hooping video was June 16, 2017, a little over three years ago. I think I've improved my technique a bit!

 

Hooping Day 1: 6/17/2017
 

Hooping Day 101: 09/26/2017


Hooping today, 3 years later!
(Note:  Today is day 256, but I started over when there was a lapse in my hooping. Hopefully I will not have anymore lapses!)

Another ritual I have added is a new morning tea: Valdam Pure Indian Teas - Himalayan Signature Green Tea.
I ordered it online from Amazon.  I was really impressed with the packaging. The tea is loose leaf and came in a vacuum packed bag. They included  a biodegradable plastic resealable pouch with a label indicating the type of tea and how to brew it.  



 
 
 
 
I've been in love with teas most of my life.  If I don't marry my weighted hoop, perhaps I will marry my Himalayan Green Tea. I love it that much! It is strong, and rather earthy tasting. And it packs a nice caffeinated punch! Green teas are said to have many healthy benefits. And anything from the mighty Himalayas seem to enhance life and promote longevity!


I do love this time of year.  The spring signifies growth and new life, but I feel most invigorated in the fall! Today is a particularly glorious day. I have a double shift babysitting my granddaughter while her parents go to church, meetings and do photoshoots.  On my break I plan on taking a brisk walk through the park.

Armed with my weighted hoop and my Himalayan Green tea, I am committed to going forth and conquering my demons, and regaining my health and vitality!

 

Happy, healthy Sunday to you, my friends!
 

Love,


Zita

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!

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 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...
