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

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!
