Year Three, Day 52: I Feel Much More Alive!

Today is my son's birthday. He is 25 years old. I just posted a picture shrine for him on Facebook. I haven't been able to reach him by phone though.  I worry when I can't reach him.

But I have been in this place before.  I'll just keep praying and living my life, and trusting him to God's care.

It was so much easier when he was little...sigh

But even though he is grown up, he is still my child.

Here is a picture of us a few years ago on his birthday in Salem. I had taken him out for sushi:



I had talked to his girlfriend last week. I told her I would like to take them out for dinner tonight.  If I can find him!

Say a prayer for him if you are the praying kind!

On a happy note, my scale inched down another few notches!  I weight in at 185. 2 this morning.
I have a goal to be at 180 by August 1, 2017.  According to my weightcommander app, I am right on target!

I had a nice hoop workout this morning.  Day 18.



I am not teaching tonight because of my son's birthday. I hope to stay within my eating parameters. Even if I don't, I plan on getting to the gym tonight.

I am also going out to lunch with my wonderful friend from work. I call him the "Sign Ninja" because he is in charge of changing the lettering on the sign.  We are probably having Chinese.  I may have to avoid the scale tomorrow!

I think starting and ending the day with exercise is key for me. I feel much more alive!

Speaking of which, I need to get on with my life!  I wish you a wonderful day full of life, peace and joy!

Talk to you tomorrow.

Peace, Love and Joy,

Zita

Day 347: My Big Fat Greek Salad!!

I have perfected the art of making a Greek salad!  I have made two huge bowls in the last week. My kinds rave. Essentially the secret is f vegetables , good feta cheese, Greek olives and a homemade dressing made with light, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar,  and oregano. Here is my recipe: MY BIG FAT GREEK SALAD Serves 4 hungry adults 4 cups greens (I used a "spring mix" from Fred Meyer) 2 cucumbers 6 roma tomatoes one small red onion 1 cup cubed feta cheese 1 cup Greek olives (pitted) Get out a big bowl. Peel a clove of garlic, cut in half and rub it over the interior of the bowl.  Wash the lettuce if it is not prewashed and packaged like mine was.  Dry the leaves, and tear into bite sized pieces. Throw into the big bowl. Note: Romaine lettuce is good to include in the mix, because it is hearty. Peel the cucumbers and dice. Add to bowl. Cut the roma tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds (otherwise they make th...

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 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!
