**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US!
**This past week went well overall... I completely stayed on Track w/ Meal Planning. But got slightly off-track again with Sleep, and Hydration. I got away from using my new Hydration bottle, but will make plans to start using it again in the coming week~
**My Seniors Zumba class went well...I Had to cancel my Regular Zumba class this week. But, I continued to stay on track with workouts & activity each day this week between the Senior classes, and "Home workouts" virtually. It rained here this week, so not alot of time or chance to get outdoors much. But will continue to pre-plan and schedule activity for myself each day until Outdoor weather starts to cooperate a little more again.~
**Intentions are to get up early for a workout, and to hit the local Vitamin Shop. I found these AMAZING (& Healthy!) "Protein Chips" with great Nutrition facts that fit greatly into a Healthy Living plan (as a great snack).~ And then some light shopping.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND AHEAD
@PoliteOcean
The highlight would be lots of training exercises and finished some works irl
The struggles would be the unfinished works and I got the schedule here messed up many times 🤦🏻♀️😁
Where I wish to relax at this moment would be Sumba Island. It's crazy beautiful checkthisout
And what I'm looking for in next week is all pending works done well 😇 and a work trip.
Have a wonderful week ahead Ocean and everyone 💜
@ouiCherie
Hey there! So great of you to stop by and share!
Awesome job to you on your training exercises and finished works. I'm sure it makes you feel accomplished!
Also try not to be too hard on yourself for not getting certain other things done. It happens! And thats ok! There is always another day to get caught up on those things as well. One day at a time :)
Any Island sounds amazing right now lol... But I can certainly say I've never heard of Sumba?! Is it an island that would be closer for you to get to? How did you hear about it?
Good luck to you in the week ahead on getting everything accomplished that you have planned for yourself. (And your work trip)!
And thank you so much for checking in this week, for sharing and simply for letting us know how you've been doing!
I quit drinking alcohol 23 days a go. I wouldn't have been classed as a problem drinker but I was drinking too much for sure. I feel a lot clearer, it's quite amazing.
I've been a lot more self compassionate about weight gain I've experienced in the past 12 months.
I've sought out help for some issues I've been having physically.
I'm reaching out on here.
I am proud of myself.
@pvroom I am proud of you too
@pvroom
Hey there! Awesome job to you on your 23 days of sobriety! Amazing work! It sound like you have had a great revalation and are doing a great job at taking things day by day towards getting healthier for yourself. And glad to hear that you are feeling better because of it.
Great job to you on being more self compassionate. Its not always the easiest thing to do. And you should be proud of yourself.
It sounds like you are really doing a great job at getting better, taking care of yourself, and getting the help that you feel you needed to be a "better AND healthier" YOU! We are so glad to have you here and reaching out as well. You should totally be proud of yourself. WE are proud of you here in the Healthy Living Subcom and at 7cups!
Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing!!! And thank you for checking in this week with all of your amazing changes. And for sharing with us and letting us know how you are doing. Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean
Wow, thank you. I wasn't expecting such an amazing reply <3
**Hey Everyone! How are you doing this week?! I am okay. . . I hanging in there.
I am flustered because it's either my negative uncle that gets on my nerves or my idiot drunken brother. Sorry, I'm very flustered. I hate when my brother drinks, but all of his friends moved away or got girlfriends and they just left him hanging. (He goes after the troublesome and high maintaince girls, and yet think he is always right, esspecially drunk and just causes drama).
Sorry, for venting, but I am trying to work hard and focus on my edit and with my lack of privacy and no room of my own, it's hard to work and focus.
Then my brother telling me which things I want or should do or tell my mom that tator-tots or wrong. Grrr
**This is our LAST Check-In for the Month of MARCH! ...We are almost a quarter of the way into the year! .....How do you feel things are things going for you so far? ..... How would you "Sum up" this past Month for yourself? .... What is one of the MOST Healthy things that you did for yourself This Month?.. (It could physically, mentally or emotionally)... March has been a positive struggle. I am doing pretty good on editing, but now I need a walking plan and stick to it. I need to get keep my gout under control.
I colored, got caramel creamer for my coffee, went shopping (online window shopping), chatting with my boyfriend. I worked on my own PSTD issues; I started to work on closure.
** As we end the month, what are some things you'd like to get accomplished in the week ahead? ... What is One healthy thing that you could do for yourself before the month ends?!
I am just 43 hours of 50 in editing my projects. I would like hit 50 editting hours by 11:59 p. m. on March 31st. I have been working on two projects: one for a friend and one for myself.
**JUST FOR FUN:..... If you could Travel "Today" to any place "Tropical", where would you choose to go?! I am not into the idea of tropical unless it's a cruise maybe. I would like to visit different places in Europe
**What have been your "Highlights or Struggles" this past week? I think one biggest thing is dealing with my mom and brother pushing the stimulus . . . they are impatient. I will admit, the money is appreciated, but we need to safe it to get out of the place we are in. I am horrified that the LandLord one day will stop giving us a place and we are out on the street.
I am worried about that our money will be spent before we can move. My uncle wants to stay, but we have to privacy and are so tight . . . I am driven crazy.
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~
Please send prayers and positive vibes that we can get a better place, we had a friend say that there is a house getting up for rent, but we will have leave our uncle and he brings in part of the money. My uncle does get on my nerves, but I am not sure. I also have stomach issues, but I am worried about seeing a doctor that they think the cure all is lose weight which I have tried. Grrrr
@Rebekahwriter13
Hey Rebekah!
Its good that you are doing ok and hanging in there. Sometimes thats all we can do.
Its too bad to hear that you are dealing with the negativities of your family. I can't imagine how it must be to have to deal with someone who drinks. I'm sure thats difficult when you dont know how to help them. And even more so when it causes extra drama. That can certainly tend to affect and impact your emotions in a negative way.
Please don't ever feel sorry for "venting"! That is what this thread is for! To share how you are feeling. Whether its positive or negative. Sometimes we just have to share the negative to feel better!
Its good that March brought a "positive" struggle for you. Positive is a good thing! And its great that you are doing good on your editing. And glad to hear that you are thinking on the steps you would like to take to get your walking plan in order! Good for you!
Sounds like you had some other really positive things as well between coloring, window shopping (a personal favorite of mine), chatting with the BF, and Working on those PTSD issues! Wow!! Thats alot of Great work that you are doing! And Its really good to hear that you are working on "closure". Keep up the awesome work that you are putting in and doing for yourself! Proud of you!
And how productive you've been on your editing your projects. And how nice that you are taking the time to include one for a friend. Sounds like you are getting closer to the finish line! Its great to feel accomplished.
A cruise would be an amazing idea. Have you ever been on one?
I can understand the feelings behind the whole stimulus. It has alot of people feeling many different ways. Its a good thing that you would have money to help you all get out of the place you are in! Hopefully you all can work towards doing that once you have it. I know that many might need to use it for so many different things though. And it can go so fast. Hopefully you can talk over it as a family and come to a good decision for everyone. So many positive vibes sent your way that you all are able to get it figured out! And that you can get your stomach issues figured out and resolved as well. Try to take things one day at a time. I know there are so many things that can go on in our minds, heads and thoughts.. And it can really just drive us crazy. Especially for those of us who aren't able to deal with our emotions in the best of ways. But, positive vibes that we can breathe, and continue to keep moving forward one day at a time in a positive way!
Thank you so much for checking in this week and letting us know how things are contiuing to go. I appreciate you sharing so much of yourself today! Please continue to let us know how things are continuing to go for you all.
@PoliteOcean grandparents took my dad's family on a cruise in 2005. I went puerto Rico and a few islands. I was fancy; i kind of felt out of place. I'm the type of girl who sits at my computer in my comfy sweats.
I would like to go on a cruise where I can wear jeans but still have the super nice food.
Thank you @PoliteOcean 
Hey Everyone! How are you doing this week?!
The week had been pretty lazy. Took a trip with family and feels like I am still there.
**This is our LAST Check-In for the Month of MARCH! ...We are almost a quarter of the way into the year! .....How do you feel things are things going for you so far? ..... How would you "Sum up" this past Month for yourself? .... What is one of the MOST Healthy things that you did for yourself This Month?.. (It could physically, mentally or emotionally)...
Health wise, it's been a great month. But as the first quarter of 2021, not so much. Could be more exciting. Let's hope the next quarter does that.
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~
Wasn't really an eventful week or month. So, nothing much to share.
@DonaldDraper
Hey DD.. Its ok to have those "lazy" weeks every now and then. Sometimes we just simply need them. A trip sounds nice. What type of trip was it? Like a get-away or over-night type thing? Its nice to feel like we are "still there in that moment" especially if it was a good trip. But also saddening since it makes you wish you were back there!
What kind of "excitement" would you like to see in the Next quarter ahead!?!
@PoliteOcean It was indeed nice. It was overnight at a farmhouse with family celebrating my mom's birthday.
You are right
For the next quarter I wanna be good busy. Meaning to have enough work to feel productive and not so much that I wear out myself.
Hi there,
This week i have managed to increase kick boxing to 3 days per week which i feel pretty proud of myself. Since the beginning of March, i have started exercising daily, name it dancing, cycling, kickboxing, yoga, zumba. I feel very grateful and proud of myself for having been taking care of myself. I even started to cook again from a longggg time only eat order food.
Next month i'm planning to be more balanced and do more meditation and stretching!
@bubbleBalsam6602 good job! Kickboxing is a hard work.
@bubbleBalsam6602
Hey there! Awesome work on "ramping up" and increasing your kickboxing workouts!. Those are certainly challenging. I haven't taken a kickboxing class in almost a year. Great job to you!
It sounds like you are doing an awesome job. With incorporating daily workouts AND keeping them "varied"! You surely got a great list there! Ar eyou doing them in person with a group fitness class or are you doing them virtually?!..... I LOVE to dance and ZUMBA is my favorite!! I've also just recently "dabbled" in some yoga too and realize how much a really need it as well as what a challenging (and relaxing at the same time) workout it can be!
And awesome job to you on cooking for yourself again! I'm sure it helps you to incorporate much better and more healthier choices and options over ordering out.
Sounds like you will also have some really great additions to add in as well with meditation and stretching! I've started to dabble in that more myself as well. We should all be doing alot more of them both! People really under-estimate the benefits they can bring! KEEP UP THE AWESOME AND AMAZING work that you are doing for yourself. You are really kicking things into high gear. So proud of you. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much for checking in this week and keeping us up to date with everything. Please continue to let us know how your journey is going for you!
@PoliteOcean if I could go anywhere I would want to go to Pensacola Florida and go whale watching
@Misty72
Hey there Misty, I hear Pensacola is a great place to visit. I'm only several hours away from there but have yet to visit there myself. But it sure looks great from the photos.
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday I had therapy. Tuesday I went grocery shopping and also for a walk. Wednesday I went to acupuncture. Before my acupuncture, I was seriously thinking about quitting because she wasn't dealing with my issues. This appointment went much better than expected, so I decided to continue treatment. Thursday I want for a second walk. Thursday my creepy roomie Dennis called me an asshole. He's senile so I don't take what he says seriously. Thursday my internet went down but it was up by Saturday late afternoon. I'm extremely dependent on the internet but I survived without any permanent emotional scars. Deysi is going to be gone until April 6th, so I will have so skip acupuncture for one week. For this upcoming week I have therapy and grocery shopping on Monday and that's it for the week. I'm enjoy my book on Anna Akhamtova.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo!... Wow sounds like you had yet another busy week! Its awesome that you were able to get Two walks in between all of your appointments! So proud of you. Its great for you that your accupuncture went so well for you this time. I know what you mean though. I was feeling the same way about my physical therapist who was dealing with my prior injury. But I guess some days just tend to be more helpful than others. And its good that this worked out for you. What do you think or feel the changing point was for you with that decision? Were you able to explain your desired outcomes for the acupunture? Do you feel that she understands what you are wanting and hoping for as the end result?....Its too bad that you are unable to have your own room, as it seems you tend to get stuck with very undesireable roomies. Its good for you that you didn't have to wait too terribly long for your internet to return. I do know however how challenging it can be to have to go without it when you really need it. Thats too bad that you have to miss your upcoming appointment, especially since the previous one went so much better for you. But its also a good thing for you that April 6th isn't too far off. Sounds like you might have a much quieter week ahead of you without all of the regular appointments. But its great that you are enjoying your book, and perhaps the extra time will allow you to continue to read it, find a new one to read, Or even find something else new to start studying?! I know how much you like to stay busy with all of your studies and works! Thanks so much for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you. Sounds like overall your had a pretty decent week!
I totally missed the tropical thing, I would just go anywhere where i could be alone for 3 days, sleep, eat and read. (I have young kids!)
@pvroom
I totally understand that! Any place tropical sounds really good right now.
@PoliteOcean
Hey Everyone! How are you doing this week?!

**This is our LAST Check-In for the Month of MARCH! ...We are almost a quarter of the way into the year! .....How do you feel things are things going for you so far? .....

•ig playing basketball, but I always do that
** As we end the month, what are some things you'd like to get accomplished in the week ahead? ... What is One healthy thing that you could do for yourself before the month ends?!

Just the same struggles with my dad
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~
-technically, I still supposed to be going to a foster home soon, but I am just holding my breath.
@Charlotte25basketball
Sorry to hear that your week wasn't so great. And that things have been more of the same for you. And that you've been having struggles with your dad. Hopefully whatever those struggles are, that you are able to get them worked out.
Not sure how you are feeling about having to go to a Foster home. As I'm not aware of your situation or the details. I only wish you the best of luck and that if you go, that you are placed with a loving family who will do the best that they can for you to provide you a loving home! We are here to talk to you, and support you in any way that we can. There a plenty of listeners here to talk to as well.
Hawaii would be a really great place to visit. I've never been there myself, but it certainly looks beautiful and I wouldn't mind going there to visit as well.
I really appreciate you taking the time to check in and share with us. We are here for you. Please keep us up to date on how things continue to go for you.
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~
-technically, I still supposed to be going to a foster home soon, but I am just holding my breath.
I'm very late but I woke up feeling mostly okay this week. Mood swings are down after rediscovering my love of coffee and writing. There are people who aim to drag me down when I enter a room because of falling out years ago, and even that doesn't bother me as intensely as it would have. I ignore them and focus on what I need. Hurt people hurt people. I know it, I've done it. I've made same mistakes over and over. Definition of insanity. So now I'm getting brutally honest. I wouldn't like me if I met me, and that realization doesn't have to lead to a pity-party. This month, I've spent time rooting myself in truths about myself and my life, even harsh ones, and accepting them. I can move forward even when some want to hold me where I am. I don't feel victimized by anything anymore, you can't when you take responsibility and make changes. When you hold yourself accountable for your behavior and words, there is no one else to blame. I could wallow but I've wallowed since I was a teen and it always ends the same. I think that's why even though I'm depressed in this process, I'm not going to most of my old unhealthy coping methods. I should start exercising again but for now im doing "mental exercises" to strengthen my mind. My mind is the root of almost all my issues. Fasting (and writing) has been great for this. I have tied food to emotion, to reward/ consequences, even to people for so long. Can't with a 24 hr fast. When I'm impatient, I break a fast differently than when I'm at peace. Sorry about the length. Thanks for reading. I hope you're well
@Lexloveslife
Hey there Lex! So nice to hear from you this week.... Its good that you were feeling mostly ok this past week. And that your mood swings have gone down. Thats always a good thing. Sounds like you've been spending some time working on some things and have had some self revelation! Even harsh ones. But its great that for you that it seems like you have come to a place of acceptance and peace about it. Which isn't always an easy thing to do. And its even better for you that you aren't going to unhealthy places and allowing unhealthy coping methods.
Good for you for taking time to work on "Mental Exercises" ... those are JUST as important as they physical ones. And getting our minds and mental health into a better place is surely a great positive overall. Our minds and thought processes can certainly be the "root"of many issues in our lives. And taking time to work on them can surely get us in a much better place.
I had been personally wondering about you and where you had been... And its good to see you this week and to hear that you've been taking time to work through so many things for yourself. I appreciate you checking in this week and touching base to let us know how things have been going and how you've been doing.
