@PoliteOcean
Hi I'm sunflower 2091 please add me
@Sunflower2091
Hi Sunflower! Welcome to the community! So great to have you hear! Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything. Also feel free to share how your week has went for you!
@PoliteOcean my week has gone great can't wait for Easter service at my church
@Sunflower2091
Thats great Sunflower.... Enjoy church service!
@PoliteOcean, well I have exams in 3 days and they will end in like a month so I have been pretty anxious and stress eating. It could have gone better.
@EssenceOfHope
Sorry to hear that Hope... we all have those "stressors" and our ways of dealing with them. I know Exam time can be pretty stressful in itself.Good Luck to you on those.... And hopefully you can find some ways to "relax and de-stress" soon! (and perhaps if you have been snacking, you can find better snacks like Carrots, apples, celery & peanut butter etc...) I remember how that was when I was in school.
@PoliteOcean, thank you!
@EssenceOfHope
I know how you feel! I have exams, too. I'm SO STRESSED!!! Although I'm sure you'll do well on your exams, you're smart and intelligent! I recommend to drink a lot of water- when I study for my exams, I have a huge bottle of water next to me. Kinda helps! :)
@MyDreamIsToBeANeurobiologist, thank you! Good luck with your exams ❤
Well its Saturday... Today is REST DAY! So...Yayy! 
I always feel so good when Saturday comes and I know I can just "relax", "self-care" or Enjoy things without having to push.
But, the week has been well..... I kept Appointments that I made, Appointments went well...The weather outside has been Awesome! 
So..I've been able to get out "Everyday" this week and hike through the neighborhood And take my Puppy to the Lake for his "workout" too lol...Today was weigh-in day, ,and results have been great, and hard work is paying off. Today my son is coming to visit and spend the night. So it will be great to spend time with him today. I was hoping to color some Easter eggs with him (even though he's 22) HAHAHA! But hey, nothing wrong with "traditions". Tomorrow we will have Easter Dinner at my moms. So, will need to work on "moderation" since she is a FABULOUS Cook! Hope everyone else's week has been well 
@PoliteOcean
I'm glad to hear that you had a good week! I envy you, I didn't have a nice weather :( But I'd love to go nearby lake, too! How was your workout? I'm glad that you're going to spend time with your son! Egg coloring can be fun! Happy Easter my dear! :)
@PoliteOcean, dinner with your mom sounds like the perfect way to cap off a great week. Enjoy! 
@PoliteOcean choices make us.. and there are some of the choices I want to alter.. I have no regrets yet i think when I have the opportunity to make things work I'll probably grab it.. :) so far the week has been great!
@YourFriendforever
I'm not sure if I understood you properly (English is not my native, sorry), but I want you to keep in mind that we all make good decisions and bad. Someday we will laugh at them, or they won't even matter. What matters the most is your health, happiness and well-being. I hope you're doing well my dear! Happy Easter! <3
@MyDreamIsToBeANeurobiologist Thank you.. Those were really positive words. Happy easter to you too! :)
Hey you all thanks for being a support to me glad I joined the coummity
@Sunflower2091
I'm glad you feel well there! :)
It was definitely a tough week for me, I still feel kinda depressed plus I have exams next week. But on the other hand I have finally started to see results in my body- my legs are slimmer, I look skinny and I feel stronger. I started to enjoy my workout even more, I've tried some new healthy recipes and they were delicious. And tomorrow's Easter, one of my favourite times of the year, can't wait! I hope all of you are doing good! Take care of yourself, I love you! :)
@MyDreamIsToBeANeurobiologist
Sorry to hear you are feeling a little depressed and I know this is exam time for alot of students, so I hear its been rather stressful for some...... On the other hand it sounds like you are doing a great job in your journey! What type of workouts are you doing!? Would love to hear more about it! Also, what New recipes have you been trying? Perhaps you can share some in our Food Choice section!....Keep up the great work you've been doing. Getting results is always encouraging.
I did a variety of cardio activities this week. I went biking, walking, and did some inline skating. I've been eating vegetables and drinking as much water as possible. Gonna aim to do some strength training next week.
@IsabelleJ
Same here Isabelle...Upped my water this past week & Been sticking with my cardio and want to start incorporating some more strength training/exercises as well.
Sounds like you have been doing really well on your journey and sticking to it! Keep up the great work!
@IsabelleJ
Yay for cardio! I actually really enjoy cardio, I hope you do, too! Good luck on your strength training next week! Happy Easter! :)
Sunny weather has allowed a lot of outdoor garden work and walking which is a great stress buster. Glad winter is over.
@sail46
Yes, it's finally spring! I'm happy to hear that you went outside, bet the garden looks wonderful! Stay awesome and have a Happy Easter! :)
i hade a gd weekend i relaxed at home
@LeoTheLlitteLionCub1
I'm glad you had a great weekend and that you have been able to rest! :)
Wellllllllll, the journey for the past month or so has been at a standstill...or maybe even a back pedal. 
Struggling to find energy and motivation. But I'm sure I'll run across it hiding in a corner somewhere...then I'll need to dump procrastion in the trash bin and slam on the lid. 
@BridgetAileen
Aww..I'm sorry to hear this Bridget. I can understand that. I think we all can can relate to those feelings. Some days it takes everything I have in me to get on track or stay on track. THeres days where I feel like I could just sit all day and do nothing at all. Not even lift a finger if I didn't have to..... I hope that you find your energy and your motivation again very soon. Just know that we are all here for you to help support you. Please feel free to vent here any time. HUGE HUGS to you. So nice to see you again.
@PoliteOcean, I've been a naughty lurker lately. I check in with a plan to post, but then I either don't seem to have much to say or have no energy to do more than read. I should at least make myself say hello or tell a silly story or joke...or something. 
@BridgetAileen
Oh, I know how you feel. Sometimes I'm so tired that I don't even have energy to get up from my bed. Don't worry! I'm sure that you'll be able to get back on track. Take care and have a Happy Easter! :)
@MyDreamIsToBeANeurobiologist, Happy Easter to you, too!
@BridgetAileen. AWW sorry you are feeling that, but I believe you will find your motivation again soon too hugs
@jr50, you're right. I will. It's always just a matter of time. No fun while it's gone, though. I'm actually a bit better the last couple of days. But it's been doing stuff for other people and not what needs to be done around my house.
