❤️ This past week went well,... continued to stay on track with workouts, activity and Water....My sleep was a little off-track due to not sleeping well or waking up too soon. But my energy was actually much better this week compared to last week when I felt more sluggish.
❄️The weather is still chilly here, but at least the Sunshine has finally returned for a bit. I'm still focusing on Indoor workouts at this time and continuing with Aqua Classes, Zumba, and Group Fitness in general. Other personal goals are finally coming together as well, which has set me into an even more positive tone and vibe. This coming week my intentions are to kick things up a notch in my overall wellness goals......prayerfully these things will continue to come together.
⛄️ Today its Sunny, but cold. But getting ready to get out and about and take on the day ahead and wherever the days leads~ Got errands to run, and Going to Visit a New Nutrition store to continue to work on the New Goals I'm setting. Then some relaxation in the evening.
This week was okay.
I want to try working more on songwriting/poetry this month at least to start. I've been meaning to get around to writing more. I just haven't been that motivated towards most things so hopefully this will work out.
That's all I have to say
@determinedNest6866
Hey there Nest~ Thats good for you that your week went okay for you.
Thats wonderful that you are wanting to work more on your songwriting and poetry. I think that is really awesome. I love poetry and used to write myself. In a way, writing poetry (and songwriting) go hand in hand! I know that getting the "words and lyrics" to come can be a challenging. We do surely need to be motivated and inspired to do so. What are some things that have inspired you or brought you motivation in the past?!... Perhaps starting there could help?
Good luck to you on things, and thanks for sharing your week with us. Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you.
@PoliteOcean Thanks!
I know that in the past if I listened to a song or read some poetry then sometimes I'd get ideas popping into my head. Other times I would just randomly think of something out of nowhere and it would stick.
I'll have to try and figure out how I'm going to get inspired or motivated enough to write
Hi! I’m Aqua, and I’m pretty new to this community. I’m excited to be a part of 7cups and the healthy living community as well.
❤️ I’ve been pretty good this week! Mostly working a lot of hours at my job, which can be tiring. But it’s been an overall good week.
❄️ I love February because it’s my birthday month! I’m an Aquarius and very proud of that (hence my username haha) I’m excited for my upcoming birthday party.
⛄️ A goal I want to set for myself is eating better. I have gotten into the habit of eating way too much junk food or skipping meals due to being busy. I want to start eating healthier and more nutritious food more consistently.
❤️ If I could live one day over again this week, I’d live today over again (Saturday)
❄️ Some highlights of my week include: taking more responsibility at work, going shopping, and enjoying music. Some struggles of my week include: work stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and feeling insecure.
⛄️ One thing I’d like to talk about is that I’m proud of myself recently for trying to stay on a budget! It’s very hard though, and I have definitely still spent money on a few things while shopping. However, I’m proud of the effort I’m making.
Thanks Ocean for doing this thread!
@aquastarchild
Hey there Aqua!... (I love your name, as I love to be near the Water) "Oceans, Lakes, Pools" lol
We are so glad to have you here, Welcome to the Community!
We are so glad to hear that your week was good for you. Sorry to hear that you've been working alot, and yes, I know that can really be tiring. Despite feeling tired, we're glad that you are doing well.
Happy Birthday Month~ How fun this month must be for you. We are glad to hear that you are looking forwards to your upcoming party. You will have to share with us how everything went for you!
How awesome that you are creating goals for yourself to eat better. I know personally that can be a challenging one. And it can be so easy to eat or overeat things that aren't as healthy for us or lack the nutrition that our bodies need. Just remember everything in moderation, and one day at a time. Perhaps start by replacing sodas or juices for "water"... or swap sweets for a favorite "fruit" etc.... little by little, taking small steps can add up to even Bigger ones!
And I'm with you! .... Saturdays are my Favorite also!
I see that despite some struggles of the week, that you have had MANY Hightlights over the past week to counteract those! How awesome for you for seeing the many positives! Keep up the great work there! We are here to support you.
And great job to you on "staying on budget"! That can be another challenging one. (For me at least, as I like to shop!) lol.... That is surely something to be proud of for yourself! And keep up all the great work on the efforts that you are making.
Thank you so much for participating and sharing your week with us! Please keep us updated on how things are continuing to go for you!
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
❄️What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I've been so depressed and sick. I've been resting a lot and trying to get through the lowest depression points by meditating, or praying.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there!...
I agree with you, I like the days are getting longer as well. Its so nice to see that. I even see (and hear) that the birds are back in town chirping away as well.
Good luck to you on finding a new job for yourself and being accepted to Grad School. I know it can be challenging to always stay or think positive. But stay hopeful, and these things shall come to pass for you.

My son is sick for a long time and finally has some apts scheduled to get him diagnosed this month. I asked for help through my political member to move it along and it worked.
⛄️ What would "YOU" Like to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!
i joined the quality listening program and enjoying it! 💕💕💕💕
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Hey there Sunshine~.... I agree, I love seasonal things also. They make for fun times to look forwards to. And its awesome that you find the appreciation for the things that matter.
@PoliteOcean Here’s how the past week went. Sunday I prayed for Russia. My 7-day prayer calendar is working out really well. I’m planning to upgrade it also. This week I finished my book on Archaic and Classical Greek art. My book on Chinese art arrived and I started to read it. My book on interpretation of poetry and commentary on the book of Isaiah arrived. I only went for one walk this week. Tunde only worked two days. I was going to go for a walk on Saturday but it was raining. I read my philosophy of art book twice. Lesle replenished the cookie jar with my favorite kind of cookie. Unfortunately, she’s keeping dead flowers on the dining room table again. I came up with the brilliant idea of ordering ready-made sandwiches off Amazon Fresh. I also came up with the brilliant idea of ordering sprouts. Sprouts won’t take up a lot of room in the refrigerator and are very good for me. Leslie overstuffs the refrigerator so storage is a big problem. I don’t know why I didn’t think of these things a year ago. I’ve been eating simple sandwiches on sourdough bread for the past year and I desperately need a change in my lunch routine. I started to drink green juice smoothie in the morning instead of orange juice. A couple of people told me orange juice can cause diabetes. Somedays Dennis spends all day in his bedroom, so that makes me happy. I’m in the process of changing my social media strategy. There are too many scammers and too many slutty women. I’m forced to look at slutty pictures against my will even when I don’t want to. I’ve had to block about 20 women in the past two weeks. Leslie keeps on talking about moving, and she keeps putting it off. I’m sick of dealing with it.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~... Thats great for you that your Prayer calendar is continuing to work out for you. And that you have gotten some new books to focus on. Thats good that you were able to get in a walk even if it was just the one...every small step matters and counts....Thats nice that Leslie had your favorite cookie. What is your favorite Cookie?... There are so many home food-delivery programs out there. I too have thought about doing this myself. It can be challenging to struggle to find or make something each day. And sometimes we just get plain bored of the same things. Its good that you have found something more healthy to drink for your breakfast. Not sure which green smoothie you are drinking, but just compare the ingredients and nutrition facts. As sometimes they can be just as unhealthy as regular fruit juices depending on how they are are made and what is put in them.... Thats great that you are going to work on keeping your social media safe. Its becoming even more important during these times. And people (ie: scammers) out there are getting worse. Hopefully Leslie will get it together and decide what she is going to do sooner rather than later. Thats awful to continue to keep someone in Limbo about whats going to happen. Especially as it affects everyone who lives in the house. Thanks for checking in this week and keeping us up to date on things, and how things are continuing to go for you.
@PoliteOcean
l'm a couple of days late with this. Last week went decently. My sleep was lacking a couple of the days and that threw me off. I made an adjustment and I'm fine for now.
This month I'm looking forward most to go skiing and ice skating again before the snow and ice is gone.
I'd like to be open about my feelings with my partner and see where things go from there.
If I had a repeating day, I would choose Saturday because it's the weekend, relaxing day, and I won't have to get up early the next day.
I mentioned my struggle of last week above. I made adjustments to my bed and that helped. I should give myself more time to fall asleep as well. That would help.
I have nothing else to say. :-)
@amiableSalamander17
Hey there~ Better late than not at all! We are glad to have you share with us this week!
Thats great for you that your week went decently for you. Sorry to hear that your sleep was lacking a few days too. I know how challenging that can be and make us feel. Its great for you that you were able to adjust and that your back on track.
How nice for you that you will get the opportunity to go skiing and ice skating. BOTH are great forms of winter activity. (I personally have never had the chance to do either)....But they do both look like alot of fun!
Thats great for you that you'd like to work on your feelings, and work on things with your partner. And great job on the willingness to do that! Good luck to you.
I agree with you... Saturday is the Best day!... Its the perfect day to do (or not do) All that we want to (or not)! lol...
Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing and focusing on for yourself. And thank you for sharing these things with us this week. Please continue to keep us updated on how everything is continuing to go for you!
@PoliteOcean
Thank you for the feedback. That was kind of you.
