Day 185: Living and Reflecting







Yesterday ended up being a good day for reflection. I seem to require a lot of reflection time. Years ago a friend asked me, "Can't you just live? Why do you have to analyze and question everything?" At the time, I was stumped. I didn't realize I had a choice. Just live? Then I remember thinking that it was a male thing. My friend was a guy. Maybe men could just live their lives, but women needed to think and talk about it all.

I've gotten a little wiser and a lot older since this conversation. First of all, I try not to lump people into categories anymore.

And I have come to realize that this is how I live my life. Live, reflect. Reflect, live. It's a Zita thing!

This morning I feel better. Still feeling a little weak.  Maybe I actually had a flu bug? But I ate much healthier yesterday. I added lots of fresh fruits and veggies. No cheeseburgers!

With my tummy distress, I forgot to do my stats yesterday. So here they are:


Today's Stats: November 10, 2015 
BP: 113/93
Pulse: 75
Weight: 188 lbs.
Neck: 14"
Chest: 43" 
Waist: 37"
Hips: 44"
Thighs: 22"
Biceps: 13"
Calves: 15"
Ankles: 9"
 
My blood pressure looks kind of weird. The lower number is higher than usual. Might be my machine. Or maybe I am sick!  But I'll recheck it at the higi machine when I go get groceries later. :) 


Heading to the gym today. Will be working back and biceps.

Also, I am going to be cutting back on my lattes. I plan on using the money I save to buy gloves and food cards for hungry, cold people I meet on my oath.

Happy Tuesday! :)

Year Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

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...

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!
