****ANY AND ALL "NEWBIES" PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR WEEK WITH US!****
**This past week went well as far as being off from teaching classes and continuing to spend time with family....We didnt' do anything too special for New Years Eve (Since my son had to work) and we don't like to leave him out of things....It was mostly the typical New Years in watching the Ball Drop with a few snacks and non-alcoholic drinks and loved ones~
**While I did managed to continue to stay on track with activity of some sort each day, I did Not however keep on track with my foods. Christmas treats pretty much spilled over into New Years treats as well. 
.... I really was in the "mindset" to completely get back on track after Christmas, but, having the hubby home for some reason made things a little more challenging with still being in that "Holiday Spirit"~ But New Years Day I finally got ahold of myself and started tracking right away and continuing with activities~
**The New Year will find me adding an Extra class (For Now) to my schedule and also Possibly contemplating leaving one of my Fitness classes for my own "Sanity" and Mental well-being due to all the recent changes at the place I teach at... But for now, the extra class might help a bit financially as well as get me closer to my goals.
**Saturday intentions this week are to get up early for a morning dance class, and then meeting up with my mom after to walk and "catch up"...~ The remainder of the weekend will find me getting ready to come off of a Much Needed (YET, VERY "Short-lived" ) wonderful vacation and family time. And heading back to teach classes. I feel I was not really able to accomplish much of anything that I was hoping to get done during that time off..~ 
.... Maybe next weekend?! As I still have yet to take down Christmas decorations~
ENJOY THE WEEKEND~

**Hey Everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020!!... How was the past week for everyone?!
Wishing you a very happy and properous new year, sending good wishes and hugs 😃. My past week was awesome as I had gone home on 27th and enjoyed the time with my family and it was amazing to be back home, tasting the homemade food and spending time with parents and my bro. I returned back to hostel on Jan 2nd and I was sad as I will be back home in may.
**How was Your NEW YEARS?! How did YOU Celebrate "Ringing-In" a New Year & a New Decade?!
New year was cool. Actually we were in the new year party but then I told my mom that let's go back home at 11pm and so dad started to drive and I and bro were singing in the car and it was so fun 😃, we reached home around 11:45 and then celebrated new year at home. I don't like partying , so I told parents to come home as I wished to spend time with my family, as they will be always with me and I just love them so much.
**This is our FIRST CHECK-IN for BOTH "JANUARY & 2020"!!....What goals and plans do you have for yourself this year? What are you looking forward to in this New Year ahead or hoping to accomplish?
My goals for this year is to take care of myself, do workout, study nicely and focus on my career,pursue my hobbies and take part in the checkins 😃
**What goals are plans have you already put in motion for yourself in these first few days? What things will you do to "stick with them"?! What improvements will you make in your journey moving forward?
i have started to do the journal and have started study plans as well for the entire year 😃I feel through doing them and by accomplishing them those will give me insights and will help me in my life.
**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week?
My struggle in this week was that I was emotional when I returned back to hostel, but then am happy and glad that I can always connect with my family through video calling and calls.
**What are your weekend Plans?
weekend plans. It's that today afternoon there is a party from our department, all excited for that and are dressing up, but am kinda not excited as I don't like partying. So haha am just being online in cups and typing the forum now. Am happy to take part in the healthy living check in and this year am gonna take part in this checkin of every week 😃
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~ 
Its that here it's winter, but unexpected rains are here and so it's just so chilly. And I have to just take care of myself as I have a bit tonsil problem. And being away from home and doing everything by self is hard, but yay am doing 😃.
have a good day ahead, happy new year 😀🎉🎉 .
@Daisy7cups
Yeah I went and enjoyed haha. Though didn't danced haha 😂😂, but i went and took pics with our proffesors and it was cool and then we all had cake cutting and the cake was so yummy 😃, our seniors were there so in total all 4 year students were there.seniors performed dances, one drama, there was quiz competition and so all in one it was cool yay 😃👍. There was DJ after that and many were dancing, but I and some were sitting and watching and it was cool haha
@Daisy7cups
Hey there Daisy! Its so great that you are deciding to take part in the weekly Checkins! Its so great to see you this week!
Its sounds like you had a really great time with your family during the holiday season and making some awesome memories with them!... To me, that is the best part of it! And sounds like you had some really "extra" great times singing along with your brother?! lol...Its great that you enjoyed your time with them.
I absolutely love the goals that you are making for yourself in this new year ahead!.. taking care of yourself, working out, studying, and focusing on the good things in your life!.Great job to you on setting those goals for youself. And journaling is a really great way to help you to look back and keep things in perspective! Keep up the great work! ...
Sorry to hear that you had a challenging time once away from your family again, I know that can be difficult after spending such a wonderful time with them all. To me that is the "hardest" part of the holidays! (After its all over and my extra time with them has come to its end).....Its really great for you though that you are able to keep up with them in other ways!
ITs winter here as well,...and likes to rain too. I'm always chilly. We hardly ever get any snow here. Its been a few years since I've last remember seeing it. I hope that we get some this year at least once! lol....Does it snow where you are?
I'm glad that you are trying to take care of yourself, and hopefully your tonsil problem will come to an end... I had to get mine removed at the age of 3years old. I still remember some of it afterwards. A VERY LONG time ago. lol..
Well it will be great to see more of you here in the check in!!... Looking forward to it!...Thanks so much for checking in and take care!

@Mellietronx
Hey there Mellie!.. Its been a crazy week, so glad I'm finally able to get to respond to everyone!...
Thats great for you that you had a good New years and that you were able to spend it with your boyfriend as well as well as making time with friends.
Its awesome for you that you are hoping to make time and goals towards getting to the gym more! Now is the perfect time of the year to start with so many specials going on (if you don't already have a membership that is)!... Either way, its great that you are wanting to make the time for you and your goals!
Thanks for checking in and letting us know how things are continuing to go for you~
It's only been this past week that I've been able to get out and really do things, but then there's the deconditioning aspect to deal with plus the fact that I'm just really unwell. Got some test results back that no one was willing to do for years for me that really shows just how bad some things have gotten.
I've stopped a medication at the request of 2 doctors, including one who has never spoken to me, not happy about it. Maybe things will be better than I think but I expect to start feeling pretty miserable. I'm not getting any guidance about serious symptoms either ie. at what point is the risk of stopping not worth it. Disappointed in my doctor.
New Year's Eve was ok considering everything else. I napped so was up at midnight, just hubby and me but we've done that even when I was fairly well. Some of the attititudes around the new year (and worse new decade) are hard to hear when I have such serious illness stuff going on.
@AffyAvo
Hey there Affy!...
Its been such a crazy week for me trying to get back to everything but I'm so glad that I'm finally able to get back to responding to everyone.
Its good that despite of things that you were able to finally get out and about and do something. So sorry to hear that you are still aren't feeling well and not in the place that you desire to be in for yourself.
How long were you on the medication that they had you stop? Were your test results the cause of them stopping this particular med?.... I can empathize with you on feeling disappointed in your doctor right now and seemingly some of the (lack of medical care and guidance that you were hoping for) and not hearing from him personally.
I'm sure its difficult to read, see, hear the attitudes of others regarding the new years ahead. It can be difficult to be in such a challenging place, not have the answers you want, and not know how to necessarily move forward. I can empathize with that as well. Despite that, Its great that you managed to have a decent New year with your hubby and salvage some of that!.. (It was just me and mine too with our dog) lol.. .simple enough.
Thank you for checking in this week and continuing to keep things up to date and how things are going for you at this time.
I'm going to take baby steps into being more physically active, eating healthier, and checking in on 7cups! That way it snowballs into a positive routine!
@betterchoices
Hey threre!.. Thats an awesome idea! Taking "baby steps" and taking your time to work up to your goals for yourself!.. Thats a perfect plan. That way you don't take on too much and feel overwhelmed with anything! .... I absolutely love the goals that you are setting for yourself. Very positive!.. Keep up the great work that you are doing, and thank you for checking in to let us know how things are going! Please continue to keep us up to date on how you are doing!
@PoliteOcean
Happy New Year 2020 !
New year and all the end of the year celebrations went rather well, it was a pleasant time and I definitely was able to spend lots of time with my mother, which made her happy. Im back to my own home now though so the change is always a bit weird.
Id like to say I got plenty of rest and am ready to start to work again, but Im actually a really stressed mess and feel myself like on the verge of a breakdown. So to try and avoid that, Im back to working out, since I couldnt lately, and Ive been trying everything I could to get better sleep (infusion, meditation, lavender spray, rain sounds, pretty much all at once lol)
I dont have much plans for the year, or resolutions, I guess Im just going to try and keep up with the healthy habits I set lately and give my best on my PhD.
Thanks for the check-in, I hope you enjoy your vacation and family time Ocean!
@LinearWaves
Hey there Waves! Happy New Year to you~
Good to hear that you enjoyed the New Year and that you got a chance to spend some time with your mom. I'm sure she really enjoyed and appreciated that time with you!.. (Speaking from experience as a mother myself) 
I can totally relate to you and what you said about being a "stressed mess"!... I totally get it. I started back to everything this week too, and its been so crazy. I kind of felt my own little breakdown coming too!.. lol.... I totally understand. Despite of all of that Its awesome for you that you're back to working out and trying to get better sleep for yourself.... I got back to it all too, and (well... 
still working on that sleep).
I can understand you not really having any plans or resolutions.. I don't really do much of that either. I'm on the same track that you are in just continuing to "walk the path" of the goals I've continued to have for myself and keeping up with those healthier habits as well!.. I think that is all we can really do is just do the best that we can to be the best that we are able to be!~ So in that respect, you are doing Great! Continue to keep that positive mindset and keep up the great work that you are doing for yourself!... And thank you so much for the well-wishes 
. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for checking in and letting us know how things are continuing to go for you!
@PoliteOcean
Thanks a lot for your kind words, really appreciated! x

**This is our FIRST CHECK-IN for BOTH "JANUARY & 2020"!!....What goals and plans do you have for yourself this year? What are you looking forward to in this New Year ahead or hoping to accomplish?
Taking care of myself and working out, living my best life. Losing some weight, but not too much. You know me I have to still be THICK!!!
**What goals are plans have you already put in motion for yourself in these first few days? What things will you do to "stick with them"?! What improvements will you make in your journey moving forward? I also put together my stand up desk and it looks great..also my butt doesnt hurt from sitting. Also I can save it from deflating lol.
Working out with my gf again this week! She is the one helping me so I trust her. Hopefully I can keep up..
@Zulegirl
Hey there Z.
Sounds like you had a great new year and are making some really great plans and goals for yourself in the time ahead.
(Yeah I know right, New Year, New Decade)... Totally crazy and totally agree~
Thats great for you that you are planning to set the goals for yourself to continue to live healthier ... starting with taking care of yourself and losing some weight. I''m sure that getting on those dirt bikes, the new Stand-up desk and continuing to work out with Amelia are all going to be great ways to help you stay on track a bit and help you along in your goals!
Having your girlfriend as your back-up to keep you accountable is even better. Its always great when we have a partner of some sort to keep you going!...Sounds like you are staying really positive about things and doing a great job. Keep up the great work that you are doing! And thanks so much for checking in!
@PoliteOcean
Thanks love!! She is great and she keeps me accountablea as well because if I am slacking she will know!
So I started back to the gym about 2 weeks ago. I am starting a new diet plan tomorrow. I'm ready to feel better about myself. The last 2 years were hard with 2 very very painful breakups. I wasn't sure I wanted to make it but now I just want to feel bette . I'm hoping I'm able to stay on track with my diet, exercise & mental health
@Prpllily1982
Hi there!
So sorry to hear that you were dealing with such a challenging time that it kept you from succeeding and moving forward in your Healthy Living goals. Its so great that you want to feel better and feel and be the best that you can be!
We are here to support you in any way that we can!... Congrats to you on taking the steps and working towards a better journey for yourself! Weight Watchers is a GREAT program! And I can attest to that since I am on it too!.. I've been on it for 3 years as it helps me to just stay on track with things and keeps my meals "portioned" since I am the type to go "overboard" with it.
So great job on taking that step for yourself!.. If you have any questions or need extra support please reach out!..
Weight Watchers also has a wonderful community as well online with so many different recipes and groups that will continue to support your journey as well!.. Great job to you, continue to keep up the great work. Thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you. Please don't hesitate to check back each week and let us know how your journey is going!
