**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
☀️ This past week was another busier one... But I started off last weekend with the usual workout/activity to start off each day. Then squeezed in a small Summer festival afterwards on Saturday... Then on Sunday some self-care & relaxing Pool-time before starting off the week~
🌊 Throughout this past week it was mixed with the usual Busy-ness of Work stuff, Fitness classes, as well as having several appointment throughout... And of course squeezing in early morning outdoor time & walks with the Furbaby before starting each day, (as our temps continued to remain near 100-degrees here the entire week)... But I continued to remain on track with my August personal wellness goals. And Activity, Hydration, & sleep were well... August has definitely had its mix of Emotional stressors this month with Various matters, but looking to continue to maintain & upkeep any progress made through the coming last week ahead~
🌴 This weekend ahead there's a Fitness Festival/Event about an hour away.. So figured I'd check that out, & do a little Sight-seeing along the way... (As its an area I haven't been to before).~ But first intentions are to start each day off with my early Workout classes... And Then squeeze in some pool-time & relaxing before getting ready to Prep to leave for our Annual Vacation in the week ahead.~
@PoliteOcean Going back a week ago on Saturday I way overstrained my back. Sunday through Wednesday morning my back was killing me. Then finally I got a massage on Wednesday afternoon. It's sad that Hayden Panetierre died. My new jeans and slippers arrived. Thursday I wanted to shave but somebody took a shower right when I was going to shave. I hate being in the bathroom and having to inhale someone else's steam. Haven't been able to get my pop-up blocker working. I'm still trying to fine tune my hydration technique. It causes me a lot of stress. My doctor said if I take too much potassium I might have a heart attack. I weeded out two romance scammers I met on social media. YAY. Friday I returned a couple of items back to Amazon at Whole Foods. I also bought a mint green smoothie for $10. I know it's expensive but it had a lot of great ingredients. 👍 For next week I don't have anything special planned but I'm behind on issues from my back hurting me. I'm going to try to learn about my new phone.
@exuberantBanana3431
Hey there~ Great to see you this week.. That’s great that you were able to get a massage after straining your back. Hopefully you found that it helped & was beneficial to that area, & your continued recovery… Definitely sad to see the news about Hayden! So very young, & what a beauty. Such a Shame… How nice that you got your new jeans & slippers… It’s nice shopping for ourselves & feeling good in new things… I agree, I wouldn’t like breathing in someone else’s steam either! lol… So I don’t blame you… Hopefully you can figure out a hydration technique that works for you. It seems like it should be so simple? But I definitely know how that can be a challenge as well. Try not to let it stress you out too much if possible. And work on taking it one day at a time… Some days we are thirstier than other days. Start small & maybe work on meeting your own personal minimum requirement goal first? And then increasing with another cup day by day (if you and your doctor are on the same page about your hydration that is)?!.. And yeah too much potassium isn’t good... Good for you on weeding out scammers. Not everyone is as fortunate to do so… The mint green smoothie sounds amazing! And as long as it was good to you & had great healthy ingredients then I’d say the $10 was totally worth it! 👌… Hopefully you continue to heal from your back issue, and are able to enjoy your week ahead. Thanks for checking in to share with us this week & continue to keep us updated on how you’re doing~
@PoliteOcean
The artist I would pay the most money to see would be the Backstreet boys 🥰
It's been an emotional week for me.
My dad got more bad news health wise and he has been in a lot of pain, the last few nights and it's heartbreaking to see.
I feel like I cannot do anything and it's crushing 😔💚
@Amanda84
Oh Amanda, So sorry to hear about your dad. I know that must be difficult to bear news regarding his wellbeing that you didn’t want to hear… I do hope for your family that he is receiving the best care possible going forward… August has surely felt like a crazy ride & emotional roller coaster…. And I know it’s challenging to feel like you’re in a place where you don’t know what to do… But just know that we are here for you at Cups. And sending nothing but good vibes & best wishes your way for your dad & your family during this time. Please take care of yourself. We are here to support you. 💕💕
@PoliteOcean

As we continue to near August's end, looking back at this Month, What's ONE small thing that you feel you've been the Most Consistent with or Proud of pertaining to your wellbeing?...

What is ONE small "Ordinary Moment" that brought you Happiness, Joy or Peace this week?! "Relaxed coffee".....the act of actually sitting and enjoying your cup of coffee at home, doing nothing vs having to take it on the go, at work, or in public.....that ordinary moment brings me peace, joy, and happiness......

🌴 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through Challenges in a Healthy Way?! One of my highlights this week was that I was able to get back on track and out of my lazy......I managed to accomplish cleaning the garage, porch and deck, which is where I spend a great deal of my outdoor time at home, which helped my mental state....I also managed to get back to my 4am workouts this week.....I started a 12 week "from zero to 10" pull up program.....I used to be good at pull ups but haven't done them in years and can barely pull myself up for one....Its funny....push-ups, no problem.......weight lifting.....no problem....pull ups....I stink.....

@CyclingThroughLife
Hey there Cycling 🚴~
Great job to you on being back to your regukar status-quo of Workouts (& of course, life!)~ It’s good that your week was well for you.
Oh wow… How awesome for you that you’ve been able to get back to & be consistent with your reading… That’s an interesting one, (as I told myself that I was going to do the same as well), I’m getting there but not overly consistent just yet! Lol… Is there anything in particular that you’ve been reading & focusing on? Or just overall random reading? Either way, keep up the great work! 📕
ahhh….”Relaxed coffee” ☕️… I totally get it… Just being able to be “still” in the moment, and not hurried or rushed… Being able to simply enjoy simple things & simple ordinary moments! That is awesome for you. Glad you found the peacefulness, happiness & joy in it for yourself. And hope you get to enjoy more moments like that for yourself ahead!~
Yess… Stevie Nicks! A Classic & Amazing artist! Great choice! 🎶🤘🏼🎸
Wow! Look at you and all that you got accomplished for yourself this week! I knew that you would get there… It’s ok to have our lazy & relaxed moments, that’s not a problem & sometimes we just simply need them…. But you have definitely never sounded like a lazy person, and I knew that your efforts would all come back into alignment again… And look at you go!.. I can totally imagine what a better mental state that accomplishing all those goals & tasks have put you in! It feels so incredible doesn’t it?! Definitely a major highlight for you. Keep up the momentum & the great work!
As always Cycling than YOU for simply checking in to share your week with us! Always a pleasure to read through. You sound like you had a great week overall accomplishing all the ordinary things that keep up our overall wellbeing! You’re doing great. 👍🏼
Please continue to keep us updated & posted on how you’re doing & how things are going!
@PoliteOcean
I like to read crime fiction thrillers....I seem to have a thing for book series that were made into television shows and movies.....I started really getting into reading about 20 years ago when I started reading Lee Childs Jack Reacher books....read about 10 or 12 of those a number of years back....in my opinion Alan Ritchson makes a way better "Reacher" than Tom Cruise.....then I changed up to James Patterson's Axex Cross books....I read another 10 or 12, probably more, of those.....and my new series is the "Bones" series by Kathy Reichs.....yup you guessed it...the books the "Bones" tv series is based on....I'm currently on my 8th book into the series.....I have read all the series in order of the book releases....I will eventually go back and pick up on the other two series where I left off, but I am really enjoying Kathy Reichs books right now....I also enjoy reading WWII history books.....I'll take a break from my crime novels and sprinkle in some European Theater soldier stories (I prefer this over the Pacific Theater).....anyway.....there are my reading habits.....
@CyclingThroughLife
Wow… you really have got your reading in! Lol.. Good for you!... I love Crime Fiction also, as well as True Crime. (I suppose both of those started with my Grandmother as she loved them as well)~
“Bones” & WWII both sound like great choices! Enjoy them! And thanks for sharing your interests with us.
I try hard this weekend some times sad sometimes happy i just manged with patients all situations
My hope is strong
I don't give up easily
@Sharing3312
