Year Three, Day 64: One Month Daily Hooping! Day 3 Grain Free!

Today marks 30 days of daily hooping - 1 solid montharooni! :)


I am ecstatic.  I celebrate the small victories!

Devising a plan has always been the fun part for me. But sticking to a plan often loses it's interest for me quickly.

That's why this daily blog means so much to me. And now my daily hooping!




I am sticking to my grain free eating. So far. Today is Day 3. I have had several moments of panic. Several moments of victory.

I mostly miss rice.  I am going to try the 10-Day Grain Detox that Dr. William Davis recommends. After I'm done, I may put a bit of rice back in my diet.

I can see how I have been addicted to carbs now. I think I am experiencing the carb withdrawal he talks about.  But I had three good meals today. And I am pleasantly satiated! I had a moment of weakness where I imagined going out for frozen yogurt, but I conquered!

I had eggs scrambled with cheese and veggies, bacon, sliced tomatoes and black coffee for breakfast. For lunch I had unsweetened iced green tea, a chicken breast, olives, pickled ginger, saurkraut and raspberries for lunch.

For dinner, I had a lettuce wrapped cheeseburger and water.

That's it!  And I feel good!


I have to run, the library is about to close.

Talk to you tomorrow!

Happy Saturday!

Love,

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!
