Year Four, Day 266: Success at Last and My Low Carb Taco Bell Lunch

Hello Friends:

Just a quick check in before bed. I wanted to tell you all that I made it through the day without crashing! On top of that, I lost a whole pound overnight.

I did a happy dance after I stepped off the scale. 1 pound in mind world is a big deal. I sweat blood losing this weight.

And to add to my glee, I woke up practically pain free and feeling UNinflammed. I don't know how else to describe it. I felt supple, light and like everything was flowing.

Even my hooping felt effortless. Now, at the end of the day, I am tired and a bit achy. But I put in a lot of work here at my piano in the basement, giving lessons over Zoom and doing computer work. I think I need to do some stretching and make some lavender tea before I hit the hay.

I ate low carb all day. I had my West African Chicken Peanut Stew for breakfast.

For a snack, I had roasted kale, and spinach/cheese balls.

For lunch I actually had Taco Bell. I felt so creative when I realized I could order one of their bowls, minus the rice.

I am woman, hear me roar! I am hoping to share even more success tomorrow!

I must add, also, that my success is very timely. My man is flying into Portland this week!

Happy Dance!

Talk to you tomorrow.

I hope you had success in your day today too! :)

Love,

Zita

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!
