WEEKLY HEALTHY LIVING CHECK-IN AUGUST 12TH~

This past week hasn't been too bad Other than the "cloudy" weather we've been experiencing......... Anxiety was lower. No depression. Kept my app'ts....Stayed on track with Eating and Workouts!....

Co-taught Zumba this week as well as attend others classes....AND....I Got my DOGGIE "Registered" as a "Support Animal" so now I can take him with me whereever I go! As he has been a huge support in dealing with my anxiety..

Today is REST DAY!! So... I'm actually getting ready to go and enjoy the "Pool-time" for a bit and get in "some" activity today since the Sun is actually out for a bit today!... Hope everyone else's week has been going well!

I went back to work at my school this week. It was good to see my co-workers and get the classrooms ready for the kids who come on Monday. I did not eat any of the tons of junk food that is already floating around. This morning I did a workout video at home and spent a lot of time cooking. I cooked one meal for later this week, one meal for the freezer (a dinner and a lunch), and tonights dinner just went into the oven. Tomorrow's plans include cleaning the humongous mess in my kitchen!

​​​I had a good week, in terms of cardio. I went biking several times, and used my Wii Fit board.

I would like to start strength training soon (1 day a week, and work myself up to two days).

Well it's been an interesting week here. I took a day off on Tuesday after all the work I had been doing - no laundry, no chores, just a lazy day. On Wed. I was having my first cup of coffee on the patio - a new tradition that I'm doing every morning for the past couple of months, and heard a big truck engine at my neighbors - we live on a dead end street and tons of lost folks turn around here. It didn't make sense to me and upon checking it out, I interrupted my neighbor's house being robbed and scared off the robbers. Cops came out, and the truck has been reported in numerous breakins during the day across the area. I was able to give them part of the license plate and a description of the driver, which they hadn't had before. I spent the morning alerting all the neighbors, but it totally shook all of us up. Other than that - my steps have been super down this week, and my energy has been really low. I did get to spend a few hours with a friend for coffee and catch up, and made a birthday dinner and cake - Chocolate Bacon Bundt cake -with 5 types of chocolate for another friend. Hubby also surprised me by extending our upcoming trip for his brother's wedding by a week - which totally threw all my plans into chaos and I've been trying to deal with that.
