**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US!
🌻 This past week went by pretty quickly..... I honestly feel like I can barely remember 'what' I exactly did that it went so fast. I spent last weekend relaxing and doing nothing overly special. I got out and about and did some light shopping and enjoying the remainder of these summer days and weather. I also got a surprise visit from my Kid who surprised me with a visit after work on Sunday..... And also surprised me with an early "Fall gift"... (A "Pumpkin Spice" scented candle)! One of my favorite Fall scents & staples!
🌞 This past week it has "lightly" rained during the course of the day which made it a little challenging to get out and about after classes for walks with my Pup. And it was rather on the dreary side mostly. I took that as an opportunity to catch up on some rest, light errands, and even worked on putting together music & "choreo" for when the time does come to Sub or Instruct classes again... I continued with my Group Fitness classes throughout the week, and for the first time in over a year, I actually "Lead" a Song/Warm-up for one of the Aqua Classes that I take! It all just happened "by chance" and was NOT planned in any way. But, it happened and I found that I felt totally exhilarated by it all afterwards!.... To do something that I've always enjoyed doing (again). And to see the faces of the crowd in front of me. It took me back to a place and reminded me of the passion I had for instructing. I still feel its not something I desire to go back to 'Full-time' , as it was something that I felt took over my life, and that I could never get a "work/life balance' with. But, I do enjoy helping others in that way, and still want to continue a piece of it all in some way, shape or form.
🌻 There are again no major plans for this weekend ahead. The weather here is dreary & rainy here again today. So I will focus on some things in the house..... Also, there will be alot going on with a Loved One in the week ahead, And my focus will be there with them. I don't even plan to intend any classes next week. Positive vibes please (and thank you).
@PoliteOcean
Send good thoughts to your loved one.
@nordurnStar
Thank you so much Star for the well wishes. They are greatly appreciated. :)
🌞 Hey everyone~ How are you doing today?... What is something that made you Feel Good, or made you Smile this week?.....
I cooked a most delicious soup this week which I was happy to present. Usually my husband does all the cooking because of my work, so this was unusual.
🌻 We are officially "Half-Way" through the Month of September already~ ...This month has been flying by.... What is something that you are looking forwards to the Most in this next half of the month ahead?
It's hard to think about looking forward to anything before this overtime period is done, but in the spirit of the question I am looking forward to making vanocni cukrovi season! These are like cookies with jam in the center, with a circle cut out to show. I don't know if they have an English name?
🌾 Wednesday the 13th was POSITIVE THOUGHT DAY, .... What is one Positive Thought that you had this week and how did or how does it set the Tone for you moving ahead?...How did that Thought impact your overall wellbeing for the day?
I always try to remember to keep going. I feel that if, when it is very hard, I keep going, I will do better in the end than if I did not keep moving when I felt it was hopeless. And I will eventually feel purpose again.
🌞 JUST FOR FUN: IF YOU WERE "INVISIBLE" WHAT IS THE FIRST THING, OR THE ONE THING, That you would do?!
I don't think I could do this because of ethics but I would want to see what my coworkers were like when they didn't think people were around them.
@nordurnStar
Hey there Star~
How nice that you were able to cook something for yourself and family this week. The changing weather recently definitely calls for soup! What kind did you make?!
oh I believe I’ve heard of those cookies… I have a friend from the UK who had mentioned something along the lines of these. I specifically remember the part about the jam being in the middle. They sound really delicious.
I agree with your thoughts on “remembering to keep going”. I think it’s great to remind yourself of this and to keep a positive spirit. It can certainly help in life’s more challenging moments!
Ha… yes that would be interesting to see what others were doing when we are not around. It would certainly be an “interesting ability” to have!
Thank you Star for stopping by to share with us this week. It sounds like things are well with you. And we appreciate you letting us know how things are going. Please continue to keep us updated!
@PoliteOcean
Here is the picture -- yes I've seen them in the UK too:
The soup was a yam and squash soup with some chicken for protein!
@nordurnStar
oh my!!!
These and the Soup both look and Sound absolutely delicious!!
I’m totally a soup person. I love chicken and those are two of my top favorites veggies!
Thank you for sharing!
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
How are you doing today?... What is something that made you Feel Good, or made you Smile this week?.....I'm doing off and on ok. I took the weekend off and stayed in bed. There weren't any emergencies to get done. I did some chores and that was it.
🌻What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I fell back on an old bad habit. I was honest about it. I don't think I did myself any favors at work.
🌾 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~
That’s good for you that you are doing ok. And that you took the weekend off and incorporated some self care time by resting. Sometimes we just have to do what feels best to us. Getting extra rest is great thing.
Falling back on old habits happens to the best of us at times, sometimes no matter how hard we try to avoid it. The good thing is that you saw & recognized it. And was honest about it. Continuing to move forwards, keep trying and not giving up is all we can do.
This week I struggled with my misdiagnosis and the depression that has set in along with the med change. It made me feel as though everything I worked towards was for nothing because it wasn’t towards the right “diagnosis” if that makes sense. I hid under the covers for two days skipped class and then decided not to let this rule me. I went to school printed out all the class PowerPoint presentations I missed, had a meeting with my professor and went over the work, handed all my homework in early in case there is an adverse reaction to the new medication. I cleaned the house and also did my self care routine and exercised to try and get my mind clear. Even though this week was a huge challenge there were small in between moments that might be nothing to other people, however we’re huge accomplishments for me. If I was invisible I would give all the children in the world the feeling of love, safety, and happiness.
@AnimalLover1125
Hey Animal~
It sounds like you had quite a week and quite a time recently. I’m sure it was definitely a struggle for you to deal with a “misdiagnoses”. But it’s great and definitely a positive that things were figured out there for you. And that you are now on the correct path with new treatment & med changes.
It’s also good that you did what you felt like you needed to do for yourself. Even if it meant just laying under the covers for a few days…that’s what’s called Self care! The important thing is that you were able to push through it and get back on track with your life afterwards. And decided not to let it rule you. I’d say that’s a pretty positive and healthy action!… And how awesome that you were able to get done so much for yourself while also incorporating that self care & adding in exercises on top of it all! Great job to you! And you should certainly feel accomplished no matter how small you think those accomplishments are. They all count! Keep up the great work.
Remember that we are here to support you. And thank you for checking in and sharing your week with us! Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going for you.
I am doing fine. I have accepted my weight, as I look average. I will no longer obsess over the numbers on the scale. I will still try to be healthy. I am going to exercise portion control, with all of my meals. I am no longer going to have dessert (I don't like it that much anyway) or have pop or high-sugar coffee drinks. I am going to use my Cubii exerciser, which is a seated elliptical machine.
@SmilesEveryDay
Hey Smiles, that’s great you are doing well.
Sounds like you are doing what you need to do for yourself. And implementing “acceptance” into your life.
And we love that you are continuing to work on a healthier lifestyle for yourself by exercising portion control, and omitting things that aren’t beneficial to your healthier needs.
And great job to you on incorporating workouts/activity that you like and enjoy! It’s definitely a way to get motivated & be more successful in keeping up with it.
It sounds like you have a wonderful grasp on how to treat yourself well, implement things that benefit you, and incorporate a healthy lifestyle in a balanced way! This all sounds awesome and amazing.
Keep up the great work that you are doing for yourself. We are here to support you. Please continue to let us know how things are going for you. And thank you for sharing your week with us.
?ￂ Hey
everyone~ How
are you doing today?
I am doing well, which has been a steep uphill journey. However I am
trying to convince to go for a walk today.
What is something that made you Feel Good, or made you Smile this week? My boyfriend always makes me smile. I just wish we were not living so far apart. Sighs.
? We are officially "Half-Way" through the Month of September already~ ...This month has been flying by.... What is something that you are looking forwards to the Most in this next half of the month ahead? I am trying to get myself out more, especially once the leaves start to change. I am enjoying the 60-70 degree weather.
? Wednesday the 13th was POSITIVE THOUGHT DAY, .... What is one Positive Thought that you had this week and how did or how does it set the Tone for you moving ahead? I listen to upbeat music as last week was very busy and I needed to keep up. I told myself I could get through it, and I did. We had a busy week. . . Major carpet clean, I'm still trying to reorganize, I had two doctor appointments that went well. My blood sugar went down, so that is a good thing. I hope more walking will help it.
How did that Thought impact your overall well-being for the day? I am stronger than I know and give myself credit for.
? JUST FOR FUN: IF YOU WERE "INVISIBLE" WHAT IS THE FIRST THING, OR THE ONE THING, That you would do? I know this sounds weird, but I already feel invisible. Honestly I rather have friends and spiritual family that understand me.
?What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges? I went grocery shopping twice, two doctors appointments, did laundry, and deeply cleaned. I felt that last week was amazingly productive. I hope I can work though my anxiety and maybe get a part time job soon.
?ￂ What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU . . . Please send me prayers and positive vibes. . . My boyfriend's mom hasn't been able to fix her health, and her health system can't see her until December. He also has a friend who just found out that they have stage 3 colon cancer; they have to go through chemo. I also ask that I can find a therapist that I can talk online that my insurance will take. My rides are done for the year and I cannot get to my current therapist anymore. I do not have any local friends or family to take me. I also ask that we get rid of bugs issues. Thank you.
@Rebekahwriter13
Hey there Rebekah great to see you again this week.
It’s so great that you are doing and feeling well. I hope that you were also able to get your walk in?! If so, how did it make you feel overall and where did you decide to go for your walk?
Long distance relationships can be challenging. It’s lovely that your boyfriend makes you smile and that you are able to maintain your connection with each other.
I too am enjoying the cooler temps! Isn’t it great?! Walking will certainly be nicer in the cooler Fall weather and the pretty Fall scenery.
That’s so great that despite your busy week that you were able to take care of yourself. Great job at listening to upbeat music, encouraging your own self, giving yourself credit, and on a drop in your blood sugar! Walking can DEFINITELY help with that and to keep it under control..These are ALL amazing things!. Keep up the great work that you are doing. And in taking charge of your health and well-being.
Yes I can totally relate to having people around that truly get and understand you. Spiritual beings (whether friends or family) make it even better.
That is so awesome that despite your anxiety that you didn’t let it hold you down and was able to be productive with your time! Sounds like you got alot accomplished there?! Maybe at some point you could look into either a job where you can work from home or get a part-time job to start out with? And just see how you are able to do? You might surprise yourself?!
We wish you well and many positive vibes on all of your requests. Prayerfully all of these things will start to come together for you, your family, and friendships outside of family regarding any illnesses or concerns. We are here to support you!
Please continue to keep us updated on everything and let us know how you are continuing to do. We miss seeing you here! And thank you for checking in to share your week with us.
