WEEKLY HEALTHY LIVING CHECK-IN 9/7/19

**This past week started off with trying to get back on track after our anniversary vacation last week... I will admit, it wasn't as easy as I was hoping it would be... I did manage to let it "slip" through the weekend a bit, but I did keep up with my activity and continued to workout through the weekend...On Labor Day Monday, I didn't teach any of my usual classes, but did manage to "schedule" a morning walk "first thing" with my mom (and hubby came too this time since he was off as well)~....Then afterwards, I managed to get to the pool one last time before it closed for the season.~ I got back on track and tracked all my food this day, (even with my mom making "Pasta Salad" and offering me a "small slice of Chocolate" cake! .. But, It was a "holiday" of sorts, so, I accepted, tracked, and basically ate lighter "around" those two choices. And ended up doing great that day~

**On Tuesday, I dedicided to completely "Detox" which I am going to do (Monthly to Quarterly).....I last did it in June and did really great with it....So I'm on Day 4 with only Fresh fruits and Veggies and some Detox Tea and Probiotics....With the local Outdoor Pool now closed for the season, it only leaves the local "Indoor pools", (which I'm not much of a "fan" of)... So my activity will now mainly consist of more walking, and continued teaching and group fitness classes moving forward.~ I will certainly miss the freedom of swimming outdoors in the warm sunshine and fresh air~ And rather Sad to see it go~

**Moving forward through this last quarter of the year, My intent is to remain on track with what I've been doing (since this time of year can be more challenging for me than other times)......Still working on an issue (caused by another party) that brought me some anxiety a few weeks ago...but prayerfully that is all scheduled to finally be Sorted out in a few days~.... Weekend ahead...Saturday Morning, my intentions are to get up and go Take a Zumba class, Run an errand or two, and continue to enjoy this Wonderful late summer weather we are having! (Its STILL 90+degrees F)! Sunday, pretty much the same as Saturday (just try to relax before the starting the new week ahead)~

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND~

heya ocean!

this past week was.... stressful. after i was very sick last weekend, i catched another virus at the beginning of the week. And school was pretty stressful. I found out i am going to have 6 exams in a time period of less than 2 weeks in november?!

september... my goals are doing good at school, enoying fall, and gaining some weight. I am really trying hard to, i ate so much the past few days and i made sure its food with healthy fats or lots of protein and i lost weight again. But yeah i am really looking forward to this month! And also for my birthday on wednesday ;)

my mantra today would be "yesterday you said tomorrow" or "my sucess is up to me".

my highlights over the past week: i did really good in school, i am really motivated at the moment!

struggles: being sick, losing weight instead of gaining

my weekend plans are.... trying to eat more (though still healthy), studying, studying, and maybe meeting with some friends tonight!

@PoliteOcean This week has been pretty amazing for me! I stepped on the scale and realized I have lost a total of 20 pounds on my weight loss journey so far! As far as staying on track, it's been a lot easier than I had orgianally thought it would be. I'm staying motivated and active by using my mantra, "Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels." It's so true. There is no greater feeling than being good with how you are physically!

@PoliteOcean For the month of September my goal is to lose four pounds and do my guided meditation every day for 30 days! My motivation is the peaceful and happy feeling I will get from self care.

When I was in a skilled nursing facility, I needed a place to live. When I interviewed my current house manager, I said I want to hire you as my caretaker and she consented. Well, now that I'm a resident, she tells me that she doesn't want to be my caretaker anymore. This is upsetting. This is finanical abuse, because it used the bait and switch technique, and I'm trapped in a relationship that I didn't consent to. I posted to social media that I was being abused, and someone called the local police to do a welfare check on me. The officer said that they can't do anything about it. I wasn't expecting them to do anything about it anyways. I have a meeting with my social worker on Monday, but they usually are not very helpful. It's exasperating. I have a driver who works for me but they charge me $55/hr and they live a long ways away.

My relationships with the people on 7 cups is going really well.

**How has the past week been going for everyone? This week has been better than last week.

**This is our FIRST Check-in For SEPTEMBER!....What expectations do you have (or want to set) for yourself in this new month ahead? I want to walk more, pumpkin spiced coffee, yum. I also plan to write more.

**What New goals or ideas do you have for yourself? What things will you continue to work on? I want to get a bunch of my writing typed on my computer. It's busy body work.

**This past week started with the Labor Day Holiday.. How did you spend that day? Did you manage to Stay on track with your goals? If so , what made it easy for you to do so? If Not, What would you have changed? I didn't do much just cooked pulled pork.

**Just For Fun...... If you could set a "MANTRA" for yourself to help you stay on track, what would it be? If you already have one, What is it? (MANTRAS TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF) Or click the link and share! "No Masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist."

**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week? What are your weekend Plans?! I have this restless energy so I have been walking almost everyday.

**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us?! WE want to hear from "YOU"!! Please just pray for my one friend who has a mom with cancer and another friend who had a leak in his house and now has repairs.

Another busy week. Time is sure going fast. Can not believe it is September. Would like to start summer again as I am finally in a good routine with exercise. Still goal setting to stay on track. Slip a little this week but getting on track. Weather has been good mid 80s. Overall a good summer, just would like it to last longer.

Two days late, but that's okay!

My week was lovely, thank you. I've got a new job I love, and I'm gaining friends!

NEW GOALS: Stick to a broken down, max-efficiency schedule!
CONTINUED GOALS: Get my rhythm on track with my new job, exercise, & eat well!

HIGHLIGHT: Finding that I really can survive, even if there's a lot on my plate!
STRUGGLE: Although I survive, I'm still learning how to juggle it all without cutting corners!
My mantra: If Mary Poppins, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Leslie Knope can do it, so can I!!!!!!!!!!

@PoliteOcea

**What New goals or ideas do you have for yourself? What things will you continue to work on? To not limit myself and to be confident that I can change my curves for myself and not for anyone else.

**This past week started with the Labor Day Holiday.. How did you spend that day? Did you manage to Stay on track with your goals? If so , what made it easy for you to do so? If Not, What would you have changed? Eating healthy but also living life and trying new things. Having good food is life to me and not worrying so much if its gonna make me thicker.

**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week? What are your weekend Plans?! Spending alot of time with my wonderful girlfriend and other friends. Not working so much. Buying some new cowgirl boots!!! Doing a few late night fast food runs lol.
