Year Two, Day 148: Shhh!

8:45 a.m.

Shhhh!

I am on R's bus. Right at this very moment. He does not know I am blogging about him. So let's keep this between us!

It is raining, So I am not talking to him. Safety first! Also, since he is driving, I was able to sneak a selfie. I am having a good face day. I think the rain helps. My eyes are not as puffy. I think the rain washes out all the allergens from the air.

I had suggested to R that we be friends. It just felt right. Feelings were too complicated before with our wild, manic text flirting. At least for me. This feels more comfortable.

But is comfortable what I really want? R is so dang handsome. And such a sweet talker. When I told him I would like to be friends and i had missed talking to him, he said. "I never left you, Sunshine".

Geez. How could a woman not love this man?!

I am happy we are friends.

I made my famous breakfast burritos for us to eat on his break. Then off to the gym we go.

Actually we are at our destination. I will come back after the gym and tell you more.....

1:04 p.m.

Wow, I had the most incredible work out. R really knows what he is doing in the weight department. I feel fabulous! We did a total of 1 hour cardio. Then he had me work on my biceps and back. Some free weights, some machine. Again, he expressed amazement at how strong I am. I am amazed too!

Interestingly, my bones and joints ache when I do not work out. But if I can work past the pain (especially with a certain gorgeous Latino man), I am on top of the world.

I am on top of the world now!

I don't know if he is honoring my request at just being friends, but he did not do much flirting. Now, embarrassingly I am disappointed. We had breakfast on the bus, worked out, sat in the hot tub, talked and then he drove me to the library. No hug, kiss. Just a "See you tomorrow babe. You look fabulous!"

Sigh.

But I did get a good workout. And I am on top of the world, even though I slid down a bit.

But I get to do it again tomorrow. And he promised to buy me lunch.

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!
