WEEKLY HEALTHY LIVING CHECK-IN JULY 15TH~

Well... yesterday my anxiety was trying to get to me, but... I've doing as well as I can to push through. Other than that, the week has been alright. Got back on track after getting off track "last" week with the July 4th Holiday.......So I'm back on track with my eating, counting those Weight Watcher points again, back on track with ZUMBA, as well as my other workouts and walking the dog daily to get his workout in too.

Its been incredibly HOT here, in the 90's! So, I've been doing alot of Swimming and working out in the Pool too . Today is my REST DAY so Yayy! And so far as of now since there are no other weekend plans like we usually have, the plan is to drive to the BEACH for the day or even stay over the weekend. If I go, I will post pics in the SUMMER SELF-CARE CHALLENGE EVENT. I hope everyone else's week has been going well!

been really trying to look after myself this week. i'm not doing as much yoga as i would like but i'm still trying. i'm trying to get to a place where my yoga is part of my everyday routine. :)

i've been writing in my journal a lot more and have discovered some unhealthy thought patterns and habits that i'm working on now. seeing my problems and flaws on paper has helped me feel a lot lighter and now i fee like i can work on improving myself.

I got a good amount of exercise in last week. I went inline skating twice, and biking. I also ate several meals with veggies, and drank a good amount of water, and green tea. I have also avoided drinking coffee.

I also engaged in other healthy activities like playing the piano, singing, crafting, and writing.

Have been very active swimming and keeping goals in focus. I wish spring and summer were 12 months a year. Enjoy your week.

Not a bad week. No major depression or anxiety. I ate pretty well and exercised pretty well. I worked around the yard outside 2 days in the mornings, and I feel like I sweated out 10 pounds (the scale disagrees). Tomorrow I am going on an outing with a friend, something very rare for me with my social anxiety issues. We are going on a winery tour by trolley to 4 wineries. I am looking forward to it.

Well ... This week i continued to eat healthy , less gastric problems which is a great thing but still struggling with stress & anxiety due to my lifestyle as a doctor. Looking forward to continue with this & start working out next week. 💪

@PoliteOcean I am doing pretty good. I am a little wiped out, but I have off tomorrow and Monday :)

I am solidly okay. The past week was a 'boring' week, i.e. routine as usual. My novel's coming along nicely, albeit slowly. I need to set specific times during the week for novel-writing, learning the French language, and practicing sketching/digital painting. So far, I've only been doing them during downtimes in between homework assignments and classes. However, plenty of those downtimes are basically me trying to grab a snack, doing chores, or laying on the ground and wondering why on Earth did I decide to take classes that I don't even need because they looked interesting. [Note: Besides maths, my classes are interesting. I may have accidentally on purpose taken the maximum number of credit hours permitted by my university.]

Oh, I ran a kilometer in 06:30 minutes. That was pretty cool. It's my best time since I resumed running after an eighteen-month hiatus. Prior to the break, my best was under five minutes.

This upcoming week, though. Oh, boy! It's going to be a fun-filled week as I take my exams and write a (research-y) paper about German folktales, on top of my regular work load! I absolutely cannot wait to take a step into the exam hall as the eyes of the supervising teaching assistants dart towards me as I walk between the neatly alligned chairs to find my unassigned assigned seat. All the while hoping that I don't accidentally squeeze the rubber duck in my backpack that I, once again, have forgotten to remove prior to an exam. At this point it's ridiculous. I have unintentionally squeezed the rubber duck in every single exam I have taken since I acquired the quacking piece of plastic. Quack. Quack. Quack.

Mentally and physically not on my best...since my bday it seems things haven't been right, I'm trying to be better tho... I'll be back...

My body has not responded to poor air quality even though it was only for an hour, and my husband noticed other parts of the city were way worse than anything I was exposed to. Unfortunately I didn't take the best precautions as the air quality info wasn't giving a reading when it hit the highest point, it was displayed retroactively. I thought we were still in the moderate risk range, not the high. I've been debating if I should seek out a nebulizer treatment for my asthma - although part of the issue with that is I don't know where to go other than the hospital (I could call clinics and find out) plus I really feel uncomfortable with the idea of driving afterwards, I get quite shaky my concentration drops. I'm not having full out asthma attacks either, it's just that typical breathing through a straw feeling with some deep productive coughing a few times a day. I might have issues getting the treatment depending on the clinic that has it.

The smoke is probably going to blow in again. I'll take better precautions, sticking to a room with the air purifier as much as possible. I'm not moving much anyway, walking from one room to another requires me to sit right away and rest.

I'm guessing I will have to cancel my workout this week although I still have a few days to make that decision and see how much I can improve by then.
