Year Three, Day 40: HHP Day 6: I MUST Remain in Motion!

I stayed up late last night. Watching weighted hula hoop workouts on youtube.

I am ready to take it to the next level!

I am going to try doing my workout with feet together.  That is supposed to target the abs in a different way. Once I conquer that, there are a lot more different techniques, including marching hula hooping and lunges! I also have some new ideas for stretching with my hoop. One trainer said that since hula hooping is fun, you will not only get in shape but you will improve your mood.

Ok! I am looking forward to natural mood enhancement!

Some of these hoopers are insane, but they are in shape. I am ok with insane! Well, except for the "Diet Hoop" from South Korea.  It has ball the stick out. It looks very painful. The bloggers who tried it said it was very painful. They called it the "hoop of hell".


I think I will pass on that hoop.  But their video is hilarious!

So is mine.  I am still trying to find the ideal lighting and placement of my phone for filming. This one is a bit blurry. But it was lovely hooping outside for a change!

But today, after filming I did 600 consecutive rotations! Including some with my feet close together, some turning and I attempting a plie. But failed. That is probably the next, NEXT level!

The funny thing is I make these videos BEFORE I add the music. But today, it looks as if I am hooping to the music I chose!  



After my hoop session I walked like a Marine 3/4 miles to the gas station for some hot, bitter, black coffee. Then I coffee walked back home.

I am feeling more stable now. I sound like a broken record, but:

 I MUST REMAIN ACTIVE!!!


It is the only thing that keeps me balanced. 

I did a lot of soul searching yesterday.

I'm afraid I do not have any real answers.  But I have many questions. I am a seeker. Only thing that I know for certain is that I must remain in motion.

And now, I must run to my church office job.

I wish you a happy Wednesday!

Be well. Be happy. Keep moving!


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 Four, Day 321: Pandemic Times Day 70, "Stay Home - Stay Safe" Day 57: Part I: I Need a Drink

Hi Friends:  After I posted my blog last night, I read conflicting information about the re-opening of Oregon. Yesterday, when I posted that all of Oregon was reopening, including Portland, but only stand alone retail stores, daycare and day camps for kids, I was referring to this article from the Oregonian:   https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/05/all-of-oregon-including-portland-can-reopen-friday-to-some-extent-questions-answered.html I had read that Governor Brown had extended Oregon's State of Emergency until July 6th. But that is different than her stay at home order. Which is in effect until "further notice". https://www.kgw.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/oregon-state-of-emergency-versus-stay-home-order-whats-the-difference/283-95a91ace-9580-40ee-a8b6-727c6bec3216 Of course, then there was the judge who said Kate Brown's restrictions were null and void: "A judge in rural Oregon tossed out statewide coronavirus restric
