WEEKLY HEALTHY LIVING CHECK-IN OCTOBER 14TH~

*This week has gone a little better as far as staying on track with my eating..It can be challenging getting back on plan when you've gotten off for awhile....

*Ive kept up with my workouts. The weather hasn't been as nice this week, so I wasn't able to get out as much for my walks this week. But managed to teach one Zumba class and go to two other classes with other instructors.

*I've felt a little more tired this week than usual, and its probably because my sleep wasn't the best over the past few weeks before that. This week I managed to get in at least 4 days 7-8hours of sleep. It surely made a difference in how I felt over the course of the day..... Also, I feel if I can start increasing my water intake like before that it might possibly help with that as well. I've gotten off track with that lately since it hasn't been as hot.

*Lastly, today is my REST DAY...and I usually try to get in at least 10,000 steps by walking in place, or just my usual moving around throughout the day, but today I might just take it easy. I have some errands to run, but I'm not going to "focus" on trying to get in extra activity today. My joints and my knee haven't been feeling the best, so may just give them a chance to rest. Hope everyone else is having a good week!

the week was hard for me, but hoping the coming one will be better

I am doing some what okay. Could be better. Could possibly be worse though. Trying not to complain.

This past week was rough. And went all wrong. I missed all my apptmnts Drs therapy anything and isolated. Just felt too warn down and tired. Had no car all week so that of course has been rough.

My goals are going fine because I wasn't ready to set goals yet to accomplish. I'm ready to set very small starter goals. But I'm sick of overwhelming myself and stressing out on the wrong people. I just need a break.

I'm working on alot of things right now and trying to get a handle on my life.

That's about it. ✔in done. Xoxo 💋

I haven't been doing very well this week. But I am proud of myself because I have refrained from hurting myself. It's actually coming up to my 3rd year self harm free in December! Some things that I've been struggling with this past month are my appetite and sleeping patterns. I'm also finding it difficult to stay away from alcohol. But.. I am still trying and I am still taking baby steps!

hello 😊

Havent really been a good week or two for me. I had a loss in my family, i was a little more torn for my Aunt than anything. Aside from that, i haven't been good with my healthy life goals, in fact, i think i have gain 2-5 pounds since my last check-in 🙈.

i am not sure if i mentioned that i started a new job at a different hospital, busier ER. I havent been eating right and havent been good with my water intake as well😢. i have been eating late night and definitely eating the wrong things, especially at work (i work overnights 7pm til 730am). oh on top of that my plantar fascitiis is acting up again and it's too cold to swim now...ohhhh wow i just keep going on and on🙊

Anywho, i do plan on starting back up to my healthy lifestyle starting today, i am back to work to night, off bereavement, and trying to get back to normal...journaling, back to drinking water, cboosing the right foods etc....key word is TRY 😊

This week has been a bit of a challenge. I think i need a self care break for today.

I was doing great yesterday and today, I'm having a hard time just lifting myself out of my seat. I feel demotivated because I thought I had a sustainable, good thing going.

Hello!

I ran a 5K in 02:03:01.

There were two running groups: a 5K group and a half-marathon group. I took a wrong turn and ended up with the half-marathon group.

I ran a half-marathon.

My first ever half-marathon.

My first ever half-marathon was an accident.

I was registered for the 5K race, so technically I came last.

But I'm proud of my last place 5K time.

Did I also mention this was my first ever official race with fancy trackers?

My first official 5K will be listed as 02:03:01 forever on the internet.

According to my watch, I passed the 3-mile check point at 19:01. I was going to have a sub-20 5K and a new personal record.

Instead I got a half-marathon.

I love life sometimes.

I had this perfectly neat plan on how to transition from 5Ks to 8Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, and, finally, marathons. But, nope! I took a wrong turn and ended up running a half-marathon. Hahaha. Best. Race. Ever. I'm happy with this :p

Also, I looked up the 5K results. I think I would've gotten ~7th place out of 800+ runners if I didn't mess up. Yay me :D

I missed checking in last week. I had a really great workout then, I missed my usual time and went later. Thanksgiving was last week, so had a few big meals and lots of leftovers, most of it reasonably healthy plus tasty stuffing.

Workout this week felt a bit lackluster in comparison but I started with some high step ups and those always seem to drag me down for the rest of it so if I make fair comparisons it went pretty well.

Leading up to thanksgivng I seemed to be good waiting for that supplement injection. Last few days though I'm back to feeling fairly crummy, it's difficult to say if the dosing schedule is too infrequent or not. Sept and Oct have had quite a few cold days with some seasonally hot days through them, so it might just be the weather or it could be a combination of both.

Heyo there! I think this will be my first time to join in our weekly check-ins. But hey, I'm doing fine lately. I took a break from 7cups and focused on my personal life. I've managed to handle things on my hands though there were times that I still got overwhelmed with the things going on in my life. I'm actually trying to get back on track and trying new things that will interest me since I was so unmotivated to accomplish stuff. And my final exams are now doneeee! I'm just waiting for the semestral break and actually catching up on things I've missed here on 7cups. Hope you're having a great day, guys ❤🎉
