**This past week has gone well and gone by pretty fast... I can't believe its already been a week since I went away on my mini-vacation and today will already be a week since I've been back... The whole week was practically a blur!?!~... Anyway... After not being on the best of track during that time, this past week I got right back on and kept up with my eating, tracking, workouts, back to teaching my classes, and doing ok with sleep for the most part.....Got outdoors again with my mom for our morning walks, and to the Lake in the afternoons with my Dog (my Side-kick) when I wasn't teaching~ I would sum up this Month as "FAST"!... And I hope that the rest of the summer slows down~ The best part of the month off the top of my head was our trip to the beach last week... and I look forward to more good family times in the month ahead as well as continuing to stay on track!

**The weather has been SOOOO incredibly hot here~ .... Its been in the 90's (F) .... the entire week, and the coming week ahead will be the same..(On a bright note, My water intake has been INCREDIBLE because of the heat!) lol.... Its actually perfect because the local pool is opening today!.. So I'm glad for that. I thought about opening my own pool again this summer, but I thought about all the "Upkeep" and "Maintanence" that goes along with it.. and the fact that I still want some major yard-improvements done including knocking down some trees before opening a pool again.... So, I will be sticking with the local pool around the corner for yet another season~ Got my "New" FITBIT all charged up and ready to wear and by next week , I'll be able to report how well it does with the pool activity! lol...

**This week is a Long Holiday weekend here with Memorial Day on Monday.. I'm looking forward to it, and relaxing, no classes to teach for another week, and spending time with my husband a bit~ The weather will be incredible, so we are looking at taking a drive, getting some treats like icecream or something ... and possibly a RiverBoat cruise on the local lake where I take my dog..... Its apparently something new they are doing, and its like a Brunch cruise during the day, and a dinner cruise in the evenings.... The brunch cruise is much cheaper, so I'm hoping to maybe go cruising the lake on Sunday and do that.. But will see... We will probably cook some veggie burgers and hotdogs with some picnic sides for the Holiday, and that will be another day that I will yet have to "watch" my intake~

**Today is our kick-back/relax day.. My intention is to hopefully start the day off with a ZUMBA class at my facility with another instructor since there won't be any local classes around here to take or teach until at least Tuesday ... and then whereever the day takes us from there afterwards~

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND EVERYONE~ STAY SAFE~

Stressed, last few days have been ok though.

Stressful.

The holidays.

Looking forward to Pride events.

My highlights have been exams and getting a haircut :)

Another busy week. I think I am finally getting back into a more normal routine which has helped in keeping up with diet and exercise. I guess when you have too much on your plate you can slip. I agree time is going very fast and I really enjoy this time of year. We have not been as warm as you are. Here its in the 70F-80F which I really enjoy. It is still a week or two early for swimming. Looking forward to hear how your swim tracker works. Having your own pool is nice, but it does take a certain amount of work, and you really need an area with sunshine to warm the water. Having a pool nearby is also a good choice if you can exercise in it. We have the ocean, but it can be cold and rough which makes swimming diffcult. I enjoy a pool for swimming. This weekend will be nice weather so the majority time will be outdoors. This is the start of the summer so roads will be very busy on weekends, so will stay home to enjoy some peace and quiet. Everything is green and blooming so the yard is a nice place to relax. During the week it is quiet and a good time to have lunch overlooking the ocean before it gets real busy in July and August. Lunch is very cheap along the shore during the week. Enjoy your weekend.

My workout this week felt so-so. I was taking a fair number of breaks, my feet and wrists started hurting and then later on my back started to hurt. I had to go lighter on a weight not because of the muscle it was meant to work (a bicep curl, but it was in combination with some other stuff) but because of my wrists.

Even though I was backing off for good reasons I can leave feeling a bit down because it can make me start questioning myself, was today really harder than other workouts? Was I just being lazy and making excuses and not doing enough?

I've started paying more attention to my fit bit with workouts though, and while the feedback isn't immediate (I'm not pulling out my phone during) it can quash some of that self-doubt. My heart rate went higher and was in the peak range longer than the last few weeks. It wasn't as high as the workout about a month ago when I felt dizzy and my asthma was bad but I think even this time backing off a tinier bit more may have been better. I also didn't sit out an entire exercise, I did every one although some were modified or I wasn't working the entire time.

No long weekends here now that I can think of until Canada Day. Plans are to garden, and to loosen up from the stiffness from my workout. Feet are still pretty unhappy too, I did stretch yesterday, will try to do more of that consistently.

@PoliteOcean This week went pretty smoothly except I had a hard time sleeping 4 nights in row. The first night some weird man was making loud noises when I was trying to sleep. They don't have security guards here and the police aren't going to do anything. The second night I was woken up at 4:30 a.m for a blood draw. They said then needed to take it when I was fasting. Well they could have come at 7 a.m., not 4:30 a.m. I sent them away. Lo and behold, some genius said "Gee, Regmo doesn't like being woken up at 4:30 a.m. let's do it again ! " So the third night I had another person come into my room at 4:30 a.m. for a blood draw. I let them do but I was too tired to get into an argument with them. The fourth night some idiot decided to clean the restroom at 6 a.m. and woke me up early. They've taken a blood sample 4 times this past week. I went to the endocrinologist on Tuesday and they said I'm still medically unstable. I finally got a reduction in my blood pressure medication, which is good, and I got a renewal for my anti-anxiety med, but I can only take one per day. My sister is coming down this weekend and going to retrieve items from my bedroom and bring them to rehab. I won't be allowed to move back to the condo because it is being sold. My insurance company is pressuring me to move on but I have no place to move on to. Now that I can't move back to the condo - I can't make any more bone broth.

**Hey There!.. How has everyone been this past week? I have honestly been way better. . . I have high depression, anxiety and parania which has made my stomach and head very sore. It's over moving and money issues. They current location my family is at is having issues and they want to move us but we cannot afford to move.

Do you believevthat people engry can affect your health.

I wanted to know if anyone agrees with me that physical and emotional health can be affect by peoples energy and vibes.

If I could sum up this month in a word, that word would be SICK! Not in the radical, tubular, dope-dank-positive sense, either. I've been ill almost constantly all month, haha. It was still wonderful, though.

The best thing to happen to me this month was when the guy I was dating asked me to be his girlfriend. :) He helps keep me healthy, and we were talking about how we wanna get back on our health regimens more diligently!

I'm very much looking forward to earning my swimsuit bod, and maybe doing healthy stuff with my boyfriend :)

Over Memorial Day I had a bunch of good food with my boyfriend and his friends and roommates! It was great.

I've been struggling with my physical health because I've been ill and not working out... But my mental health has been a highlight, because I've been so fulfilled and happy!

**Hey There!.. How has everyone been this past week?
