Year Three, Day 35: Daily Hoop Project

This morning I am starting again.

Again!

I am going to start doing my stats on Friday.  Monday is usually a blue day, and after the weekend, I do not want to face the scale!

Friday I do not work at my church office job in the morning. I have more time in my day.

I want to start recording my hula hooping.  It is rather embarrassing. I certainly could never to a hula hoop fitness tape! It is just me, looking goofy. But hey, I did
300 rotations this morning!

Don't worry, I won't bore you with the whole hoop session. Just 30 rotations. I want to try and do it every day. To show a progression. I am, after all a living project

I have already notice a difference in my measurements after hooping daily for a few weeks.

And I saw a young lady on Youtube record her dramatic daily transformation at the gym.

And most inspired was I!


So here it is, Day 1 Hooping!



And my stats:

I do believe I may be on to something!
 
 
As usual, I have much more to say. But I am going to go to lunch, get a haircut, go to the gym, stop by the music store and teach one student.
 
Tomorrow is the beginning of summer term for me. My most busy day. 
 
So even though I have much to do today, I plan on taking my time!
 
So I wish you a peaceful, happy Friday. Be safe and kind.
 
 
Talk to you tomorrow!
 
 
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 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...
