Year Four, Day 271: Still Smiling



Good Evening Friends:

I am still smiling from my wonderful visit with my boyfriend last night. I met him at the airport. I was early, since I bribed my son-in-law with gluten free cookies for a ride. But I didn't mind. I had a book to read. And it is so rare that I have time to sit. So I sat. And I people watched. 

But I was buzzing with energy. I had not seen him since my trip to Vegas, over a month ago. I was wearing my new jeans. But I was worried because my belly is still an issue for me. My sweet man has told me many times that it is not an issue for him, that if I am choosing to lose weight and get in better shape for my own satisfaction, he is happy for me. But he also said I am beautiful the way I am.

Geesh - how lucky am I!

Well, his plane was delayed. I tried to relax and read. But I was nervous.  Although it was in a good way.

 (Who am I kidding, I get excited and a bit nervous just to talk to him on the phone. And I hope it stays this way.!) 

I so enjoy feeling alive again.

But the minute I saw him, my nerves dissolved. So comfortable am I with him.  And I hope him with me. 

Even though the nervous energy buzzes, I feel like I can be myself with him. Even let my crazy out.

That's a very good thing. At least for me it is.

Anyway, I am still smiling. :)

I did not get a chance to weigh myself or hoop this morning. So I just did an evening hoop. It's pretty dark out there, even with the porch light on. But it is accomplished!

I allowed myself to eat beyond my window last night. It is important to me to be flexible enough that I can have dinner with friends and family and make them uncomfortable with my diet. But I got back on track today.

Had a lovely pho for lunch.  Tomorrow will be an interesting test. I am going walking very early in the morning with my mom. We have decided to cut back on our breakfasts out. So we will be driving through McDonald's after our walk. I plan on ordering a breakfast sandwich without the bun. I made my own muffins out of chaffle mix (egg, cheese, a pinch of flax seed meal and almond flour, and garlic powder).

No hashbrowns for this woman. And no sugar in my coffee either!

That's about all I have to report today. 

I am still on my path.

And still smiling.

Have a lovely evening!

Talk to you tomorrow.


Love,


Zita

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...
