WEEKLY HEALTHY LIVING CHECK-IN MAY 18TH, 2019

**Hey there everyone!.... So today's checkin (although still on Saturday) is a "little later than usual as I just Returned from my little "get-away" this evening.... This past week has been crazy-busy and fun~ .... I started the week on Monday teaching my normal Zumba classes and for the most part on track.. But, then we prepared to leave for our Get-away for a few days.~ My sleep was up and down, I didn't stay on my eating plan the best, and Activity consisted of mainly walking the Beach and shopping and other activities that involved being away~

**We went to one of our favorite places at the Beach and spent a few days there. It was really nice just being away from the usual 'day-to-day' activities....The weather was really warm and lovely, lots of sunshine and a great breeze... Spent most of the time walking the beach and just taking in the Sun, Salt, and Ocean waves~ Did a little Shopping, spent WAY more than I wanted to, and ate way more than I planned.~ But the point was to just get away and enjoy and NOT think too much~

**Today we got back in the early evening with just enough time to get unpacked, pick up my dog from my moms, run a small errand, and spend the rest of the evening relaxing again before beginning another new week ahead~....The week ahead will bring teaching Two classes on Monday, and then being off from teaching the Next Two weeks as I take another break due to the upcoming Holiday (Memorial Day). It will be a nice long weekend, and some good time off to relax my body a bit more as we get ready to enter the Summer Season (and the Summer Workout session) ahead~

**I'm still doing the Bootcamp that I signed up for on Tuesdays at the facility I teach at, and will still incorporate taking others classes as well while I'm on break from teaching my own~... My mom will be out of town again for two weeks, so no morning walks, but the weather is supposed to be Amazing this next week and beyond and I will incorporate more walks with my husband in the evenings as well and walks at the lake with my dog~ I also and going to work my butt off on trying to add/incorporate more "Strength" training with weights which I've put off for far too long~.... And of course, get back on track with tracking my food~ And by the end of the week hopefully get back to the Pool more regularly!

HOPE EVERYONE'S WEEKEND HAS GONE WELL~

@PoliteOcean heya ocean!

**Hey Everyone, how have you been doing this past week?

hey hey! past week was pretty rough. i was sick since tuesday, could not leave my bed and not do any sports or even eat normal stuff.... right now its really cold here and i am craving a vacation or sunshine!! i need some summer vibes

i am sitting in my room right now while checking in with you and really infront of my window on the street there are some markets and one boy is singing live infront of my window so i can enjoy some live music in my room!

**We are over Mid-way through the month of May already! How has this month been going for you so far?!

wow this month had looots of changes! i am here now in the new city for two months. last weekend i visited my old hometown and was able to see my boyfriend and friends. Last week i was doing so good with sports and healthy living!! but now as i got sick i am not allowed to workout or eat the food i want.

**What things or goals are you currently working on or trying to accomplish before the end of this month?

i want to eat healthy again, do sports again and be more open towards meeting new people.

**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week?

struggles: being sick

highlight: finding some good new music

**What are your weekend Plans?!

today is sunday so i am basically relaxing and studying a bit for my art exam.

next weekend: there is a firework right infront of our apartement and i am so excited to be able to watch it from my window.

Another busy week. Weeks are flying, but I think I am finally slowing down a little. I also find walks at the beach very relaxing. I am only 15 minutes away and do not get down to the beach as often as I should. Maybe since I live so close I know its always easy to reach and get sidetracked. I usually stay clear of beach during summer months as the crowds are large and I like more peaceful times in the off season. I would always have to live near the ocean as I just like to know its there if I want to go. Where I walk is hilly with horse farms so it is also very good for getting a good workout and seeing the horses when walking is very relaxing, Still trying to get back on track, seen to be doing a little better, but still need work. Not sure why I got sidetracked this should be the best time of year to stay on track. Weather has been getting better, but still too cold for swimming. Some minor painting projects this weekend. Still goal setting as it seen to be a lifetime project. Plants outside are starting to bloom and I have have finished planting. Enjoy your weekend.

I had a bit too much over a few days beyond what was ideal - some quick medical stuff I wasn't expecting (although I initiated by calling for an appointment, I was just expecting it to be this upcoming week or later, but the doctor will be away) and a fair bit of work with a rush request. That was on top of my workout.

I was just tired and stiff, but managed it ok.

The workout actually went really well, there were 2 circuits (typical) and the first I was pretty close to sticking to the work for x seconds, then a quick break between exercises thing. Not 100%, but I think it was on pace wih those that don't have health issues manage. My weights and things like that were lower but there were even some that I managed to bump up to the next one over what my trainer initially suggested I try.

It's a long weekend, spent time with my family yesterday after sleeping in. I hope to manage to make some progress on the gaden today.

@PoliteOcean I'm in my second week of rehab. I finally got a copy of the ambulance report. I had severe depletion of calcium, excessive phosphorus and magnesium. They called it electrolyte derangement. I had acute kidney injury in the form of tubular necrosis. I also had severe dehydration, anemia, and metabolic acidosis. I do physical therapy 1 hour a day except on the weekends. Other than that, I just lie in bed all day. They're keeping my blood pressure artificially low and I don't know what the reason is. I feel lazy, lethargic, and lack enthusiasm. Right now I don't have a prognosis. The nursing staff and nursing assistants are very attentive. The food is really good, which is important for good nutrition and for keeping up morale. They have church services I go to every Sunday. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on Tuesday.

Hey! I know I haven't been checking in in a while, I took a step back from social media and from everyone actually. It's not usually a good thing, but I needed to be involved in myself and just myself for a moment, I guess, to observe and understand. And I understood a lot of things, about me and what I need, and possibly about some of the reasons I am so stuck.

I've been doing rather good in the last two weeks. I managed to keep up with cleaning the house and more or less with eating regularly, right now I'm crafting some 3D painting or... I don't even know how to call the thing, but it's som kind of arts anyway. I just like crafting things in my free time.

I'm struggling with anxiety more than with depression or EDs, but I have to be careful with triggers for both. Especially with depression, since I'm trying to fill my days doing things. And doing things often triggers depressive thoughts. Shouldn't it be the opposite? Maybe, but I happen to judge myself a lot and compare my work with other people's work to see if it was "worth even trying", and I compare my attitude with the attitude other people show and I put myself down a lot when it seems that I wasn't as determined, as strong or as positive as other people who did the same thing i wanted to do, and I think I didn't deserve to do it because I didn't want it enough, I wasn't determined, strong, clever, smart enough, it didn't come as easy for me as I think it came for other people I saw, or a million other reasons... It's crazy how many limitations I put to myself and how hard I am on myself.

So now I'm tired, and I should go to bed, before tiredness finds a way to help depressive thoughts in.
Bye bye

**Hey Everyone, how have you been doing this past week? Complicatedly frustrated and depressed.

**We are over Mid-way through the month of May already! How has this month been going for you so far?! (very overwhelming. . . I have lost my little security (long story, but I am way to exhausted to tell the entire thing.)

**What things or goals are you currently working on or trying to accomplish before the end of this month? I want to finish getting my novel on the computers (I lost 8,000 words an entire chapter due to an error last month and it's been work to get myself to get back to it.)

**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week? I have had more struggles this month than highlights and today I have dropped more things, I almost got electricuted when my cpap machine leak under my strip cord, and I got a very sensitive female part pinched when i was closing on my drawers. I am just so depressed . . . that I am going to bed early and tomorrow will be a better day!

**What are your weekend Plans?! Write and cook

**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us?! WE want to hear from "YOU"!! I am trying to find better housing for my mom, brother and i but I am really losing hope.
