WEEKLY HEALTHY LIVING CHECK-IN JULY 13, 2019

**This week went by pretty quickly... I felt like it barely began and now its already the end of the week again?!...Its crazy how fast the summer days seem to fly by... My goal was to really keep on plan and track this week as I'm currently out of town on a little get-away for my husbands family reunion... We are in Sunny Florida~.. (Although it did just rain a bit ago) lol.......I managed to stay on track with all my classes, workouts and with eating and water!... Sleep was just Not the greatest this past week though. Its been rather hot at night, and when I put on the air or fan, I get too cold. Can't really seem to find the "right balance'.... And I also had a few nightmares this week?!.. Not sure where those came from or why?!...

**A big challenge for me right now is the fact that I am away out of town... and when that happens, I like to Eat! Like ALOT~ ... BUT... this time I pre-planned and pre-tracked AND "Pre-packed" everything that I felt I would need to stay on plan and track....Especially on the drive down here... Fruits, Veggies, some hard-boiled eggs for snacks etc... And I did pretty awesome with it if I do say so myself... Once we got here and got checked in and settled, that could've been my "down-fall" when hubby asked me what I wanted for "dinner".. His first suggestion was our normal Vacation "Buffet" spot!... It took so much in me to turn that down. Instead we ended up going to the 'on-site" Bar n Grille, and I ordered an AMAZING House Salad!... Loaded with veggies!.... anything un-wanted or needed I managed to tell them to put on the side and not on the salad itself, Which totally worked...... Tomorrow (Saturday) is his reunion, and I do plan to enjoy myself without going too over-board. But I will allow myself a treat..... I find that each Season brings its own challenges for me (As summers there is "travel" or holidays... in the winter we have the holidays and more hibernation time.... and in the Fall I simply have alot going on around me personally with my Birthday and some other things).... Spring is probably the easier season for me since Summer time is approaching and I want to feel good.

**Tomorrow my "intentions" will be to get up "earlier" than I care for on a Saturday, and head to the Resort Pool to get in some workout/activity.~ And then to grab "some type" of Light breakfast before the Reunion starts in the afternoon.~ I will not let "trips" completely derail my efforts like I used to. Will do my best to be better with that while also not totally depriving myself either of things I enjoy in small amounts.~

(p.s.) By the way... I Song that reminds me of the Summertime or puts me in a great mental state would be MOST anything from the 80's!.. lol (Duran Duran, Rick Springfield, The OUTFIELD) etc....

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND~

**How have you been doing this week? Pretty good!

**Summer is in FULL Swing for many of us.... What is your MOST Favorite thing about Summer-Time?! Do you find it easier or more challenging to stay on track? Why or why not? I love walking to the beach with friends, but work and life are harder to balance.

**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week? What are your weekend Plans?!

Highlights: spending time with family

Struggling: getting enough sleep

Plans: Not sure!

I've been happy, albeit sleep deprived!

I've completely abandoned my goals this month, because my boyfriend and I made a pact to work out together and get healthy, but we had to take a huge trip and it derailed everything (it's so hard to eat right when you're not at home!) and so we decided that we'd just kick butt after everything has settled down.

I love the summertime because I feel like people actually wanna go outside and do stuff (unless it's crushingly hot). I find it easier to stay in shape that way, because I do better with other people and with being outdoors!

I made myself an omelet with spinach and stuff this morning, so that was good.

The Swimming Song - Vetiver

Highlights: I've gotten a good amount of sunshine!

Struggles: Traveling and eating well don't mix, and I've been drinking and sitting a lot due to parties and planes and car rides...

Another busy week, but keeping on track. Yesterday was the family reunion which was a nice sunny day and I was good keeping to moderation with the main meal. Deserts are somewhat a weakness with me and of course everyone brings plenty of deserts to try. Fortunately we only have two reunions over the summer, but I was not as careful with the desert menu as I would like. At least I exercise a lot more this time of year. Summer is the most active time of year for me. Summer music Summer Bossa Nova Jazz is very relaxing. Enjoy your weekend.

**How have you been doing this week? I'm fighting a majoir depression, I've been in bed in Friday night. I'm wondering if my. Mono is reoccurring with my depression. I have no appetite. I just don't care. I just want to sleep. I even forget my cpap machine in hope I just pass in my sleep.

**We are almost in the middle of July already?! (Where does the time go?!)... How are you doing so far with any goals that you set for yourself this month? I'm so far behide, but I realize that my new therapist opened a can of worm.
