Year Two, Day 127: Lengua Tacos and a Very Good Workout!

I just had the most incredible lunch after a most wonderful workout!

With a very nice gentleman!

We went to Ole! Ole! on Burnside and about 20th.

And I had lengua for the first time! Lengua is beef tongue. It was so flavorful, rich and tender. Lengua, where have you been all my life?

Well it is a cow tongue. Which tends to creep one out a bit. But no more!

I would like to learn how to cook lengua. But I hear cow tongue is difficult to come by in this neck of the woods.

I also had a carne asada taco and a chicken taco.

I am not stuffed, just pleasant satiated.

I have a full day of piano students today. I think this lunch will hold me over!

Also, my workout was incredible. My friend was detained from work, so I just hopped on the eliptical and went full speed for about 20 minutes. I broke a sweat and suddenly was flooded with endorphins.

I think I was nervous meeting a man to work out with. So I had a bit of adrenaline kick in.

But we had a pleasant time. Just two friends workout out at the gym and going to lunch. Nothing to get nervous about right?

I need to remember this feeling. Of near perfect balance.

Doesn't happen in life that often.

But for now, I am good!

Happy Tuesday! :)

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!
