Hey everyone...
Well this past week has been alright...Anxiety wasn't too bad...Stayed on track with eating/exercise. Same as last week (did some Zumba, and Co-taught a class). But it was actually a pretty "busy" week in terms of just getting the "little" things done. Like cleaning and sorting out my closet, and drawers, running errands etc...etc.....
Today is my REST DAY~ and Tomorrow is my "20th Anniversary" so...in a bit, we will be leaving to go to the beach area, hang out and enjoy....I'm leaving my puppy with my mom, and I always get sad about that lol.... He doesn't like to be away from me and I don't like to be away from him either, but I know he'll be in good hands.....
I hope everyone elses has had a good week! 
@PoliteOcean Happy Anniversary!
@AffyAvo
Thank you Affy!.. :)
@PoliteOcean
Hope you had a lovely anniversary! Hugs! ♥
@AlfalfaSproutDeux
Thank you Alf! Hugs!!
It's been a fairly busy week but I think I'm handling it well. It's certainly not a pace I could maintain for a long time, but for now I'm just feeling drained not really sick which doesn't sound all that great, but everything considered is a pretty big improvement.
I'm trying out working, it's a pretty ideal job for my situation so I'm hoping that will go well. The first few days were more formal in terms of location and needing to be places at particular times than what most of it should be, so that was tiring for me. There was also some family stuff that popped up which took away my plans for this week to be about work and not much else.
I haven't worked out for a little while, I wanted to go last weekend but all the suitable classes for me were cancelled. Despite being exhausted, I did decide to go today. The class is different that what I usually do, it's more of a class-format and only 30 minutes. I didn't keep up 100% but it was just mini rests I took, it's not like I sat out an entire set like I have done with other class-formats before. This is one I've been meaning to go to more often, although with it being on a Saturday it's tough for me to rest enough after and keep up with weekend plans. I hope when I can make it again I can push myself safely a little bit more, with all that's going on currently I didn't want to test that out too much today.
This week is starting out busy with some of the family related things that popped up. I'm hoping to continue to manage that well and then resting a fair bit when I get the chance. I did register for my usual workout later in the week so hopefully that will fit in well.
@AffyAvo
Oh wow Affy... so are you working now?! I would love to hear more about that and what that entails for you!...
I think its great that you were able to make it to work out some this week...You said it was a class that was a little different for you? What types of things did this class consist of having you do? Its ok you couldn't keep up 100% and to take rests when needed, you know what you and your body are capable of, and what you need. Hopefully the rest of this week will go well for you according to your plans with your family and you'll be able to get the rest in that you need as well. I know how important that can be. Also good luck to getting that scheduled workout in this week too! Look forward to hearing how that went for you.
@PoliteOcean
I'll message you about the job :)
The class was one I went to before, although it changed a bit with the location changed. It's a core class, that incorporates a fair bit of mat work and now about 1/2 of it is done with the rip trainers - weighed bars attached with bungee cords to a wall. I did most of the same exercises when the circuit class was outside during the moving transition, but the big difference for me is everyone doing the same exercise together (although some with modifications) vs. what I usually do where everyone is doing something different.
@PoliteOcean
How has everyone been doing this past week? Kinda off, but today I feel okay.
How have you been feeling? tired and anxious
In what ways have you stayed on track this week? movement
What things have you been able to accomplish or not accomplish? not able to eat as much
What have been your highs/lows this week? highs is hanging out with my boyfriend low is my energy
What are you PROUD of this week? proud of getting out of bed without much convincing
@Mellietronx
Melli I think its great that even though you had some areas that you felt needed improved upon, that you STILL recognized the things that WERE an "Accomplishment" for you! And thats a great thing! Great job on recognizing that for youself and just know that everything else may not always be on "point" but they will come together in time. Thank you so much for checking in this week and letting us know how you've been doing!
@PoliteOcean
Hey everyone, I am new here but I love this and think it is a great way to keep on track.
my week so far has been good, I don't really eat many carbs (not for my choice but because I have an issue with some most of them) .
I have been keeping fit (well I really just walk every day for around 45 mins) and sometimes I do yoga or tai chi but not always.
as for the rest I will check in next week and let you know.
@exquisiteDreamer32
Welcome to our Check-in thread Dreamer! We are so glad to have you join in with us this week!.....
Sounds like you have been doing a great job at staying on track! And walking is such a great form of exercise,,... it gives you steps, tones muscles, burns body fat, burns calories, keeps you active, gets the heart rate up and going... lowers blood pressure and so many other wonderful benefits.. and even more-so its FREE!!...So awesome job! Keep up the great work you are doing, and thank you so much for checking in this week and letting us know how you are doing! Hope to have you join back with us next week!
Anyone on this team an alkaline water drinker.
I wanted to discuss.
Shout out to me if you are.
Thanx 
I had a good week in terms of cardio. I went biking outside, and inline skating in the basement several times.
Great job staying on track! Thank you for checking in with us!
I had a few family events happen suddenly this past month and it really put me off my groove of exercise. I'm happy to say that I'm back into my yoga routine and practicing 6 days a week. Cardio, however, hasn't been going as well. That's a work in progress and a goal for this upcoming week!
@DancingAlong
Hey there Dancing!.. We are so glad to have you back into the "groove" of things!.... Hope that everything is going well for you and that things are coming together and getting better for you. Its great that you have been able to get back into a routine of sorts.. Especially with Yoga that has many great health benefits. And perhaps don't concentrate on whether its cardio etc... but just that fact that you are back, and doing something you enjoy, and finding your purpose again is an achievement in itself! Focus on the great things that are coming together and that you are doing for yourself, everything else will come together in time!... Thank you so much for checking in this week and keep up the great work!
Hello Polite Ocean and hey to everyone, I am a Newby. I have some healthy goals since I want to keep healthy and become more fit but also drop a bit of weight that I seem to put on each winter.
So my healthy goals are more and varied exercise without a gym and better healthy eating and smaller portions.
I would like a, what would you call it, a motivation buddy or a check up buddy that I actually did what I stated. :)
@inventiveWheel
These sound like really great goals! Its really awesome that you have taken note of these things and what you'd like to accomplish. (I too have very similar goals)...
We have a section here as well called "Healthy Living Buddies" here in our Healthy Living Subcommunity. You an always make a post there to inform others that you are looking for a "Buddy" and perhaps you will find a "match"!..... Best of luck to you on your goals. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me anytime.
