**AND ANY AND ALL NEWBIES!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR WEEK WITH US!
**This past week has went well... I completely stayed on track with everything (except for that darn sleep again).. But Got a new water Jug to help "encourage" to drink more, stayed on track with meal planning, my prior injury is doing much better so I'm back to getting in regular exercise daily again. And I stayed on track and kept all my appointments this past week. Which I had one everyday (except for Thursday). 
**My Regular Zumba class went well this week and had the most I've had since mid-December... I managed to get some to return again finally, and the energy in the room seemed to pick back up to more of its usual. Will continue to monitor things this month to see how they continue to go...It would be nice to at least continue to hold onto this "one" regular class even if I don't add back the 2nd one that I got rid of due to lack of attendance... I actually like that we are back to only doing One again! It has honestly improved my mood, and my week to not feel so stressed-out trying to hold it together when you have members who are (for lack of better terms) working "against" your efforts!.... I also got a notification from my Senior classes that they will plan to open back up in the Next month as well. So will see how it all goes moving forward. I was thinking of possibly cutting back there as well. Or at least start back slowly with less classes, and then gradually add some in again. To ease into things.
**No real weekend plans this weekend, maybe an errand or two.... The weather has still been too chilly to do as much as I could be doing. And its supposed to rain. So I plan to get up and get in a ZOOM workout with a fellow instructor. I intend to start incorporating more activity for sure now that I'm back on track post injury. I was trying to just do the bare minimum to maintain my class. But was taking it easy otherwise. But I feel Its a good time to pick things back up again and gradually continue to increase.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND~
@PoliteOcean Here's how this past week went. Monday I had a therapy appointment but my therapist was 30 minutes late so I canceled the appointment.
Later on Monday I took my laptop into the computer store. I wasn't planning to stand up for 15 minutes, so by the time they were finished, my muscles were too weak to go grocery shopping. Wednesday I went grocery shopping, then to the chiropractor and then to Starbucks. The fact I was able to do three things in one day is a spectacular achievement.
Thursday I started my next round of homeoapathic remedy. On Monday the 1st, I sent my caretaker the address of my acupuncture appointment for Friday. The problem is she still had to use GPS in order to get there. It was as annoying as fuck.
She still wound up getting lost because she wasn't paying attention. Having superior intelligence is a curse because I have to hang out with stupid people all day. Furthermore, the acupuncturist was late, which causes me stress because I thought they wouldn't show up at all. I've been waiting 8 years for this moment. The acupuncturist office is on a very busy street, so that caused me stress also. I was in a bad mood all day. The actual treatment went fine, so I hope now that there isn't any problem with the insurance.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo.. thats crazy that your therapist was 30 minutes late. I really hate when they do that. It Kind of makes it feel like your time isn't as valuable as theirs is. Hopefully you won't get charged for it. Because they try to do things like that. Like if you cancel the appointment the "day of" some places try to still charge you for the appointment .... Hopefully you were able to get it rescheduled to another day that is more convienent, sometimes I even call ahead to ask if they are "running behind" that way I'm not sitting there just waiting around wasting my own time!... Sounds like Wednesday was pretty eventful for you! But its good for you that you were able to tolerate it all!.... I hate GPS..It typically has a few kinks in the directions they give you anyway... I tend to just google the address and try to scout out the location the day before that way when its time for me to go, I already know how to get there without issue. But the whole situation sounds like it was all pretty eventful as well as stressful for you. But its good for you that it inevitably all worked out, so maybe all the stressors were worth it in the end to get there? Hopefully there won't be an issue with the insurance. If they list it as "dry-needling" instead of accupuncture, it would normally be covered that way. Hopefully the upcoming week ahead will be much less stressful for you! Thanks for checking in this week and keeping us up to date on how things are continuing to go for you!
**Hey Everyone~ How have you been this past week? It's been a rollercoaster. I think I had more bad moments than I did good.
**This is our FIRST Check-in For the Month of FEBRUARY! What are you looking forward to MOST this month?! I'm not really looking forward to anything. I have a complicated relationship that his ex had drained all of the excitement out of.
**What Healthy Goals or Habits would you like to make for yourself or work on this month ahead? I am trying to focus on self love and writing.
**This is the "Shortest" month of the year.... What would is one thing you feel you could accomplish this month with less time to do it in? What steps will you take to work on that goal?! I'm not giving myself goals at the moment as I truly feel stuck.
**What have been your "Highlights or Struggles" this past week? How did you work through the Struggles? I am madly in love with a guy who cannot heal from his ex because she will not leave him alone.
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~ I hope to get some writing and blogging done.
@Rebekahwriter13
Hey there... Sounds like you had quite an eventful and stressful week?! Thats too bad that your boyfriends Ex is still trying to cause problems and issues in your relationship. Has your boyfriend tried to speak to her and get her to stop?
Self Love & your writing sound like much better & healthier things to focus on for yourself! Good for you!
Sorry to hear that you are still feeling "Stuck" at the moment. I'm sure many of us can relate to that at one point or another. Just focusing on each day as it comes or each moment might help. Just taking things as the day brings it and not getting too far ahead of yourself or your thoughts. That tends to help me at times when I start to feel over-whelmed, stuck or just needing a break from things & situations.
Hopefully your relationship issues will eventually resolve! That can be challenging. Have you both sat down and talked it over with each other about different avenues you can take to avoid the difficulties that she is bringing?......Hopefully it will all come together and work itself out at some point. Keep us informed on how things are going!
Thanks for checking in this week and letting us know how you've been doing.
@PoliteOcean
Hi I am new to this group.
Happy weekend to you people.
Healthy Habits:
I have been aiming to turn in early. Off the phone by 1030pm
11pm read books, journal and decompress
12pm to turn in.
7am wake up and do daily yoga or exercise.
Abit ambitious I find but just aim for it first hopefully I may achieve something close to it.
Do you people have any exercise regimes to share? Also any good reads.
Thank you a pleasant week to you people!

@carelady
Thats great for you that you had a good week. Thanks for stopping by the Healthy Living Subcom to check in with us and letting us know how you've been doing!
Heya! The past week has been alright, I actually didn’t see it pass (once again lol)! I had several small meetings that helped me set things into pace again and also helped me see where I was and what I had to do/focus on. I’m still pretty lost on what I have to do though lol but slowly getting there! Next week should be fully back in the lab, which is nice, we should also get really important results! Maybe not good ones but interesting ones, I guess that’s what I’m looking forward the most for this month!!
On a positive note, I feel that stress hasn’t been too bad lately, it’s still there but maybe less overwhelming than some weeks ago! Working out has also been going well, I’m really enjoying working out more and more! Sleep hasn’t been great but it’s nothing new..!
On a less positive note though, I won’t get the monthly help I used to get thanks/due to my low income. It was really helpful as it covered half my rent… I might start to plans my meals more often so as to check my spending a bit more closely for a while…
Take care!
@LinearWaves
Hey Waves!... Thats good that you are were able to get the vision you needed from your meetings to help put things into focus. And that you are slowly getting there. Slowly is better than "not at all'! lol. Sounds like the week went well for you in that aspect. And its great for you that when it comes to your job, that you are looking forward to whats ahead this month!
Thats great that your stress levels are doing better than they were. And that working out has been going well (and that you are actually enjoying it)! Thats always a good thing. I personally agree on the "sleep" part. Hopefully that will go better for the both of us this week!
Sorry to hear about your "montly help" situation. I know how that can be. I used to receieve help too years ago when I was first starting out. And it really helped with rent and electric stuff. If your income is low though, why can you no longer get the help?? (Where I'm from its usually the other way around.... the less you make, the more help you can get). Hopefully things will take a "turn-around" for you and work itself out, or that you can find a way to find the help you need. But its really good that you are looking ahead at possibly making a "budget" for yourself. It could definitely help (as it surely couldn't hurt to try!) We definitely have to look at what we have "going out" compared to what we have "coming in". *sigh* If only money grew on trees! Hope it all works out for you! Please continue to keep us informed on how that situation is working out for you. Please take care of yourself. And thanks so much for checking in this week!
