Year Three, Day 97: A Hooping Compilation and Newton's First Law of Motion

I am woman, hear me roar! I found a wonderful quick, nutritious breakfast that I can make at work. It is a breakfast in a mug recipe. The internet is overflowing with them. I used this one this morning:

But instead of bacon, I added chopped Aidell's Italian chicken sausage. I also used Egg Beaters instead of a real egg. It turned out so yummy - but next time I will use real egg. Oh, also I did not use cooking spray, I just rubbed butter on the inside of my mug.

Took less than 5 minutes to prepare, and I can eat it at my desk!

I do love convenience. Especially if it's healthy!

AND...

I figured out how to connect excerpts from the last 61 days of hooping into one compilation!

Here it is:

I see a little improvement. I definitely need to take my whole life up to the next level!

I plan on it!

I started yesterday. After my last student, I stopped for a light dinner at one of my favorite little family owned restaurants, Tom's Restarant on SE Division and SE Cesar Chavez Blvd. I had liver and onions with a salad and veggies. No bread. No croutons!

Then I hopped on the bus and went to the gym. Did a short cardio session on the treadmill and worked my triceps, and add a few crunches in for good measure. I almost bailed and just went home after dinner. It was getting late. But it wasn't that much more time out of my evening to stop at the gym. And I do like the gym at night. I just came home and crawled straight in bed. Read a bit and then passed out. Slept the whole night.

Like a log!

Then I popped up and did a nice hoop session.

I never studied physics, but I do remember Newton's "first law of motion":

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

(http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/newtlaws/Lesson-1/Newton-s-First-Law)

I think this body will stay in motion!

On that note, happy Thursday!

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love in motion,

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...
