**AND ANY AND ALL NEWBIES!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR WEEK WITH US!
**This past week went pretty great~ I stayed on track with most things, meals, activity, habits.... Kept up with all my various appointments, Sleep was going well, but still needs work and improvement so will continue to work on that~
**I started back with my Senior clientele this week~ Classes there went great and gained a few new attendees! All of Whom were "Vaccinated" with the new Covid Vaccine. But since they are seniors, they had "First" dibs at them anyway. So thats great for them. They were all so happy to be back and working out again. I'm still keeping my class at a minimum. No more than 10 attendees at a time regardless of vaccines etc.... And more space to accomodate and spread out that way.
**The weather has been pretty great this week. Warmer temps, and giving that "Feel Good" Vibe 
as we get ready to enter Spring soon. Was able to get out and about everyday this week. And got my Dog out for our walks together everyday as well. I can definitely feel the "Spring in my step" and my mood overall with the weather change. And So ready for the Timechange as well. I can't wait for it to be "Lighter Longer"! ....And will start to get my home "Spring-Ready" again~
**No major plans for this weekend ahead.. intentions are to do some type of activity in the morning (Saturday) whether its a Zoom workout, walk the track or whatever~ Its hard to believe that its now been a whole year since the pandemic thing started.... I did get knocked off track in some areas, and while its been a little disappointing, I am continuing to work hard again on improving those areas. And feel I'm on a much better track again.~
ENJOY THE WEEKEND AHEAD~
Hi ya, im doing OK. I have been working out almost everyday this week: kick boxing 2 a weeks, kpop dance 2 a weeks, zumba once a week. About self care, i have brought myself a few extra stuff: kickboxing membership, kickboxing gear, face mask. I drank warm water befpre eating,... One this that i struggle this week is feeling hectic and too much socialising time, i have to meet and talk with many peole. Sometieks it can drain alot of energy and then i need me time, just time alone with myself. One highlight is that, since i started exercising i can really feel a boost of energy, i 'm grateful for it and hope this high doesn go away soon.
@bubbleBalsam6602
Hey there Bubble!....
Its good that you are doing ok, and that you have been able to get workouts in everyday this week! How awesome is that! Kickboxing, Dance, ZUMBA (My personal favorite as I'm an Instructor! 
), ... ALL Great workouts!! Kickboxing gear is so much fun. I've only done it a few times in the course of my fitness career, but You do feel empowered with gear! I love facemasks. Haven't done one of those in a long time though! Awesome job on taking care of yourself and incorporating "Selfcare" time! Good for you!
Sorry to hear that you are struggling with having a hectic week and too much social time... I know that can be draining for sure in many ways! But despite those struggles Sounds like you are making, creating and incorporating some really awesome Healthy Living measures to your life! And making yourself a priority too! And having the highlight of
"boosted energy" Is surely a HUGE positive and benefit of your changes! Congrats to you on making some great changes and additions for yourself. You are doing an awesome job. Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing! Please continue to check back and let us know how things continue to progress for you!

Created Drink Reminder post, encouraged many to follow and followed myself too : Drink Water - Reminder 💧 - 7 Cups Forum
It was a festive week, so I enjoyed eating some junk food. But back to healthy eating now.
@DonaldDraper
Thats great DD thanks for sharing the link!
And its great you are back on track with healthy eating habits again.
I have been cutting out junk food. I'm feeling a lot better already
@Rhiannon12
Thats great! Eating healthier by cutting out added sugars (from sweets and snacks) can surely help us feel alot better physcially. Also then helping us to feel better emotionally as well. Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Hello! So um my bestfriend was supposed to meet me at my house yesterday but she had to cancel last minute. I understood but it still hurted me a little because i was looking forward to that day for so long. Overall, everythings going great so far!
@Tiaraaryanna
Hey there sorry to hear that your friend cancelled on you. And I know that can make us feel hurt at the same time. Its great though that things turned out well for you! Hopefully you can both come up with another time to get together and hang out with each other again! Despite what happened, its great that you are doing well overall! Thanks for sharing this week!
**Hey Everyone~ How are you doing this week?
**We are nearly "Half way through the month of March already!?... Seems like it just started!... How has the month been going for you so far? How have you been doing in your goals? My goals have been more challenging than I had planned. I can't sit right as i put pressure on my foot or ankle and my gout causes extreme pain.
**What is ONE way that you incorporated "Self Care" or performed a "Healthy Habit" this week?! I rested more
**The coming week ahead will bring SEVERAL Events!...... A "New TIME CHANGE; ST. PATRICKS DAY; AND The "START OF SPRING" For many!.......How does the "Time change" normally affect you by moving ahead an hour?...What are your plans for St. Patricks Day?.... What are you looking forward to MOST about SpringTime?! Warmer weather and when I feel better i want to walk more
**What have been your "Highlights or Struggles" this past week? Gout struggle
Please send prayers and positive vibes that i get a new place within my budget
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~ I put my gout heals.
@Rebekahwriter13
Hey there Rebekah!....
**Sorry to hear that your goals have been more challenging for you than you originally planned. I am kind of feeling the same thing myself. Thats tough for you that your Gout is giving you issues that are hindering you at this time. Hopefully it will clear up for you. I know diet and avoiding certain things can help with that particular pain. Not sure if you've been seen for it, or have been given any recommendations for it by your provider? But you can also look it up online as well to get some ideas of what might help or work too!
**Thats good that you were able to find time for selfcare and rest more! That too can help with Gout pain as well. Hopefully it will begin to clear up.
**Warmer weather is surely nice to look forward to right now... And I agree with that when we feel better, it makes us want to do more. So hopefully you will be able to get to do just that!
**Sorry to hear that you are still having issues finding a place within your budget.... I hadn't see you post about that in awhile so I was thinking that maybe you already had. Positive vibes your way for sure that you are able to find something and soon and that your Gout clears up for you!
Thanks for checking in this week and sharing and for letting us know how your week has been going. We appreciate hearing from you! Take care!
@PoliteOcean I've seen a doctor, but I'm in the middle of changing them.
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday I had a therapy appointment. We decided I should make more entries on my blog instead of spending so much time on 7 cups. 
The issues is that writing a blog entry takes so much more energy than logging into the chat room. Wednesday I had acupuncture. My acupuncture appointments are uneventful. Friday I went to the hair salon. I told Deysi earlier in the week that I have PTSD and asked her not to use GPS, but she did it anyways. I didn't want to get into an argument about it because I didn't want to ruin my mood for my special day. My haircut came out well. I'm very stuck in my computer studies. I've been having a lot of problems with the software not downloading or not installing, or my code not working. The problem with online courses is there is no instructor you can ask in person. They have these forums you can post questions but it's not always an effective way to get my questions answered. The older I get the more upset I get over how toxic of an upbringing I had. I was 14 years old when my parents got divorced, I didn't understand about family dynamics or family relationships. My father had an anger problem so was 100% not open to negative feedback. I hope that the shutdown because of the virus have given certain people a better appreciation for relationships.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo!... Its good that you and your therapist are working on other avenues in your therapy. I guess it would have to come down to what is benefiting you the most?!.....Thats good for you that your accupuncture is continuing to go well. And that you were finally able to get to the Salon! And that it turned out well for you!... Its good that you were able to open up to Deysi and tell her how you felt even though she didn't cooperate. But its good that you were actually in a 'feel good' moment. I know what you mean about online courses. Unless you are doing them live (like Zoom) or something to that effect, it could end up being challenging if you can't ask questions or find out what you need to know right away. Perhaps getting more upset over your upbringing now that you are older, is because maybe its that you understand it alot more. And actually realize all that you actually went through. And now you are kind of going through those emotions all over again. Dealing with 2 sets of emotions. The ones you carried then as a child, and the ones you are carrying now as an adult?! It can be difficult.... I hope that the shutdown allowed people to see and realize many things regarding relationshiops AND the world around them. And the fact they aren't the only ones in it!...
Thanks for checking in this week and keeping us up to date on how things are continuing to go for you. Hope your week is going well for you! Take care~
I need to work on setting my goals. I’m thinking my next goal will be on my birthday in May. I think I’ll make it a fitness goal: I will start and maintain a video workout at least four days a week for 30 mins a day by the first week of May!
@warmheartedSailboat2021
Hey there!
Thats great that you are able to have perspective on the things that you would like to do and work on going forward! And even more awesome that you are working towards those goals and putting steps together to help make them happen. Those are really great goals to work towards and look very attainable! You can do it! Keep up the great work, and please check in to let us know how you continue to do with those goals and how you progress going forward. Thanks so much for checking in this week and letting us know how you've been doing.

@PoliteOcean
I incorporated self care by starting my class assignments early and sleeping in when I had to stay up into the early morning hours doing classwork.
The highlight of my week was I got an A on an assignment I was waiting on hearing back on regarding my grade. A challenge was the works beginning to get harder, but my instructor messaged me and told me just keep going, it would get easier again soon, and not too give up. I thought that was nice of her to get in touch with me.
@Breezy2013
Hey there Breezy!... How awesome that you found some time to incorporate self-care! Its great that you were able to finish early and find the time to catch up on needed rest for yourself.
Congrats to you on your making an "A" on your assignment! Good for you! Great job. And its really nice of your instructor to encourage you to keep going! What a blessing to have such a nice instructor that cares.
Sounds like you had a great week! Keep up the great work that you are doing and thank you so much for checking in this week and letting us know how you are doing!
