Year Four, Day 255: Three Years of Hooping!

 Hello Friends:

I seemed to be obsessed with my weighted hoop again.  Happily so!  I love my hoop so much, I may have to marry him!


Hmmm...I never thought about the gender of my hoop.  Lol

Anyway, today mark's 7 days in a row of daily hooping. This time around at least. Pun intended. About 3 years ago, when I first acquired my weighted hoop, I was hooping daily. 

 I just looked back through my youtube videos. My first hooping video was June 16, 2017, a little over three years ago. I think I've improved my technique a bit!

 

Hooping Day 1: 6/17/2017
 

Hooping Day 101: 09/26/2017


Hooping today, 3 years later!
(Note:  Today is day 256, but I started over when there was a lapse in my hooping. Hopefully I will not have anymore lapses!)

Another ritual I have added is a new morning tea: Valdam Pure Indian Teas - Himalayan Signature Green Tea.
I ordered it online from Amazon.  I was really impressed with the packaging. The tea is loose leaf and came in a vacuum packed bag. They included  a biodegradable plastic resealable pouch with a label indicating the type of tea and how to brew it.  



 
 
 
 
I've been in love with teas most of my life.  If I don't marry my weighted hoop, perhaps I will marry my Himalayan Green Tea. I love it that much! It is strong, and rather earthy tasting. And it packs a nice caffeinated punch! Green teas are said to have many healthy benefits. And anything from the mighty Himalayas seem to enhance life and promote longevity!


I do love this time of year.  The spring signifies growth and new life, but I feel most invigorated in the fall! Today is a particularly glorious day. I have a double shift babysitting my granddaughter while her parents go to church, meetings and do photoshoots.  On my break I plan on taking a brisk walk through the park.

Armed with my weighted hoop and my Himalayan Green tea, I am committed to going forth and conquering my demons, and regaining my health and vitality!

 

Happy, healthy Sunday to you, my friends!
 

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 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!
