Weekly Healthy Living Check-In August 30th, 2025

🌤️ This past week was well overall & pretty standard in wrapping up this last week of August.... But It was also another busy one.... Last weekend started off each day with Zumba classes (on Sat/Sun), as well as getting in all the standard & typical errands, outings, & such throughout each day... As the week started off on Monday, I continued to get back on track with my standard (work, Fitness classes, as well as more appointments that I'm glad are now over with for the year).... Sleep has been pretty well, and Hydration has actually been on point. Those are the two that I typically can "go either way on", but they've been coming together pretty well. And "Mid-week" I celebrated a "special & personal" event with a lovely dinner.~ 

🌊 The weather has been amazingly milder here again this week... Which meant plenty of Outdoor time & walks with the pup in the early mornings & later afternoons. Its been so good to feel the nice, mild breezes again without all the excess heat... And also continuing to enjoy my New outdoor deck without the humidity, which has been nice & relaxing and good for the mental wellbeing.... As this month comes to its close, I realize I did not do the best job this month at working on "all" of my personal goals....However, I did what I felt was best for me in the moment physically, mentally & emotionally... Moving my body "Daily" (7 days a week) with Exercise & fitness is "Non-negotiable" for me. And THAT was something that I continued to keep up with entirely. Even if a few days meant beach-walks in lieu of a Fitness class etc... While I won't meet my "ultimate monthly" goal for August, I know that I gave myself what I needed overall. And will continue to do that in the New month ahead.... While also picking up traction & getting back into a more religious (for lack of better term), regimen where I was before Summer started. Overall I enjoyed the Month and this Summer season thoroughly.~ (Sadly, it just never last long enough)~ 

🏝️ This weekend ahead, Intentions are to start off Saturday morning with some Zumba time to get the day started, and my activity in... Then get out & about to enjoy the day, the mild weather, and the weekend ahead as we celebrate the long weekend... There's no Group classes Sunday, so perhaps will take advantage of that by walking the trails at the Lake. As well as a little shopping for supplies to BBQ & Grill for the Holiday on Monday~... Long weekends are also an excellent opportunity to SLEEP-IN! (Which I'm also looking forwards to, as I never get to do that)...~ As well as "Binge-watching" movies, & maybe squeeze a bit of pool time~ 

ENJOY THE WEEKEND~ 

@PoliteOcean I really like posting on Friday night. It works out well for me. This past week I went on 4 walks which is great 🙂👍.  I started to read a poetry book by William Wordsworth. He's very good. Monday I tried going to the library but it smelled bad like cleaning fluid so I left without doing anything. Tuesday I tried going to LabCorp but they are *** so I left without getting my blood work done. Wednesday Leslie's adult nephew Junior was using a power tool in the front yard and the carbon monoxide got into the bedroom and there is no way to get rid of it. John has to keep the window open 24/7 because he is obese and needs to stay cool. Early Thursday morning my back was killing me and I don't know why. I took 440 mg of Naproxen Sodium and that took care of it.  Friday I got a chiropractor adjustment. I started to read a book on how to write philosophy papers. My brain is having a hard time getting in gear because it's been so long since I did any real thinking.  Leslie has a new house cleaner Edna. She doesn't respect my personal space. I'm getting increasingly aggravated with how much energy it takes to do simple things around here. Going to get my instant coffee out of the kitchen is a psychological obstacle course. I need to expend my energy on getting better not on trying to dodge Edna's big fat ***. I think maybe Leslie hired Edna because maybe Amanda is planning to move out soon. I don't ask Leslie questions because she is a habitual liar. Her whole family system is toxic. For this upcoming week I have a massage scheduled for Monday. I get paid on Wednesday. 🙂🙂🙂. My appointment with my alternative medicine practitioner isn't for another two weeks.

This week has been rough for me. I found out that my mother has cancer again, so I am just highly concerned and scared for her.

As the Summer days continue to come to an end, In WHAT Season do YOU personally feel your best, or that you thrive in the most?!

Autumn! Halloween is my favorite holiday. I feel my best during this time.
