Year Three, Day 57: NO MERCY, B.F.!

Today is day 23 of daily hooping. I did a rush job of recording because I was running late to meet my mom for breakfast. So today is a short video. In the backyard. I think I will hoop at the track from now on. A little more space there.


I had another sleepless night. Tossed and turned! Turned and tossed!

I made the mistake of reserving a movie from the library solely based on the  actor listed. Rupert Friend. Who I fell for in Homeland.

I really miss Homeland! I feel like I personally know the characters. Rupert Friend played Peter Quinn. One of my favorites.

But not so much in the movie "Hitman", which played like an action video game.

Most annoying.

Oh! I just read that the movie was based on the Hit-man games. That explains a lot. It wasn't horrible. But it did not hold a candle to Homeland.

Sigh.


I did a lot of soul searching as  I tossed and turned. And also while I turned and tossed!

Then I gave up trying to find a position where sleep would find me.

And I updated my profile on a free online dating site.

Yes, back to the fishing pond. But no great expectations. It is just nice to have a man in my pocket who I can text on a lonely, sleepless night.

One thing I did come away with after all that tossing, turning and soul searching is this: I NEED TO KICK THIS BELLY FAT IN THE BUTT!

Sick of it, I am! And most impatient I have become.

Watch out B.F.!!I am not going to show you any more mercy!

Dinner is a turkey burger on  a GF bun , side salad with balsamic vinegraite, and unsweetened iced tea. At Burgerville. No fries!! It is 7:15 p.m. no more food until tomorrow.



After I post this blog, I am going to the gym.

The time has come.

NO MERCY!!

Oh, and happy Saturday!

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love, peace and pure determination,

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!
