**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
💘 This past week was pretty well... Last weekend, we did end up getting the Snow here that they were calling for, (Our 2nd weekend in a row of it)... Being a born & raised "Northerner", It really wasn't too bad (& melted the next day).. But again, here, they close everything down or cancel things even when its not much of anything~... But it also meant a 2nd weekend in a row of being sort-of stuck indoors & relaxing... We did manage to get out for a brief moment, & rode around looking at the snow, but also to wrap up a Birthday week for a loved one.~
❄️As the week started off, (& all the snow melted here of course), I placed focused on completely getting back on track with everything... I feel like my head wasn't fully & completely in the game with my personal goals for January, Especially with dealing with some personal matters.... But, February has started off well where goals are concerned.~ And I managed to keep up with all Work, workout/activity goals through group fitness classes, meal-planning/tracking, as well as sleep & hydration goals... The weather was still colder this week so no real outdoor time..., but Next week ahead we're supposed to get a little warm-up with a hint of Early "spring-like" weather~... (By the way, that Groundhog "predicted" Six more weeks of Winter on Groundhog Day)! Gotta love it, since technically its 6 more weeks away regardless~ 🤣.... ("PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL" is the Groundhog's name, If you haven't heard of Him, Look him up!)
💘 This weekend ahead, we will finally have a nice, sunny weekend here (with no calls of snow lol)... So intentions are to get back on track with Weekend Zumba classes, as well as get out & about for a bit to enjoy the day, run some errands, & maybe a little shopping... And some relaxation & movie night before the new week begins.~
HAPPY WEEKEND~
Sounds like you're getting on track and looking forward to sunnier days! Same here! Looking forward to moving ahead to a better year! Congratulations to you and warmer days ahead!
@gentlePlane4577
Aww thank you for your kindness! I appreciate it! 😊
You're welcome! We're helping each other as we travel through the "days of our lives" with love and the best we know how! Blessings to you, my friend!
@PoliteOcean John is in big financial trouble. He can't pay Leslie the full amount of rent for this month, and he is behind on rent from the previous month, and he's paying rent to his boyfriend Marley in Nashville. I really hope Leslie doesn't evict him. I would really hate adjusting to a new roommate. John has bad body odor. I try to keep the window open for several hours a day but we don't get a good breeze. I hate keeping the door open because Leslie has her grandchildren over here and they make a lot of noise. I'm short $200 for this month. My sister Kathryn sent me some money but I haven't received it yet. Leslie continues to think of new and creative ways to make my life difficult. I don't understand how God expects me to deal with so much toxicity. I went for 3 walks this week. Sunday I took a shower. Monday I shaved. Wednesday I had a home health visit. My BP is 116/74. I can't talk about my toxic environment because they can't do anything about it. Friday I had a telephone appointment with my PCP. It went well. Right now I'm on a Balzac kick. I'm reading "Lost Illusions", "Eugenie Grandet" and I ordered "Cousin Bette" but it hasn't arrived yet. For this upcoming week I have a massage on Monday. CJ is a great house mate. He complains a lot about the noise so that makes me happy 😊.
@Regmo
That’s too bad about John. Hopefully for him he’ll figure out something with his finances... Or make it a priority. And that you also won’t have to worry about adjusting to someone new, as I know adjusting to changes isn’t always easy. …And Hopefully for you as well, that your money from your sister will arrive soon. That was a nice thing for her to do… That’s great that you were able to keep up with your interests, & get out for your walks over the week. As well as working on other healthy & hygienic habits with showering & shaving. It also sounds like your appointments went well, & that your BP is pretty good & within an optimal range. Although it’s too bad that you didn’t get a opportunity to talk about other things that were bothering you… But it’s good that you found other positives in your week such as CJ your house mate & your upcoming Massage appt… (I’ve still haven’t found time yet to call for one. Hopefully soon)! … Thanks for checking in to share your week. And continue to keep us posted & updated on things.
@PoliteOcean
I'd prefer a dozen Hershey kisses 💋
The first week was tough, just exhausting, and I just found some old anger resurfacing and I just didn't feel myself 💚
@Amanda84
Haha…. How did I absolutely know that you were going to go with the Hershey Kisses! 😂
…So Sorry to hear you had a challenging first week. And I can understand what you’re saying about old negative emotions resurfacing. That can be certainly be difficult to understand, deal with & navigate at times depending on the situation.
Hopefully you have been able to identify the reason behind that, so that you can possibly get a better understanding of what steps you can take for yourself going forward to feel better! ❤️🩹
Just know that you have plenty of support here at Cups! And hopefully you can also find rest for your mind & thoughts this weekend ahead to help you regroup.
Thank you for checking in to share with us this week. And please continue to keep us updated!
@PoliteOcean
I appreciate your kind words! They mean alot 💚 🤗
@Amanda84 For past couple days I been eating a lot of chocolate a bit too much. Just hope I dont instigate things with my acid reflux. When the throat starts burning when theres a flare up literally feels like the throat is on fire. So far I been alright. Hopefully it stays like that. Meanwhile being I have not been able to take walks as I normally due due to the weather and needing to protect my health I did get a set of boarding balls to work with to help my hands and arms due to arthritis and carpal tunnel. I was noticing since my last flare a few months ago with carpal tunnel I was losing strength in my left arm and fingers causing me to use my right arm more than usual but it started to flare so boarding balls is said to help a majority of the symptoms so hopefully I can be consistent and use them every day.
@eternalHero77
I genuinely hope that you feel better soon 💚
@Amanda84 Thanks—so far I am fine. Today Im taking a big break from chocolate ‘cause even if I didnt have the acid reflux even the best of the best too much of a good thing can turn out being not so good if over used.
@PoliteOcean
The first week of this new month was about a 7 for me. It was quite positive. I accomplished the main things that I wanted to accomplish this week.
For this month ahead, my goal is basically to maintain consistency with my courses and main responsibilities, maintaining a high standard of performance, so that I can continue building good trust and collaboration with my bosses. I also really need to make and initiate an exam study schedule, to make sure that I am ready for the exams at the end of the semester.
In this month ahead, I am looking forward to Valentine's Day, as I do have an amazing boyfriend (even though we are long-distance T_T but still, I am looking forward to his lovely texts and messages, and hopefully some phone calls and video calls with him.)
To focus more on my own health and well-being, I would really like to somehow clean up my studio apartment and keep it clean. It just keeps getting chronically messy, the rent is so high but it's such a drag to live in this apartment.
💘JUST FOR FUN: Valentine's Day is growing near... Would You Rather get a "Dozen Roses", Or, a "Dozen Hershey Kisses"?!
A dozen hershey kisses, full stop. :)
❄️ What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?!
My highlights were some of my outfits.. I really liked two of my outfits this week. They were very unique and cool, and I got to use some items from my closet that I don't use much. Struggles were that.. I did not succeed to repair my laptop like I thought, and I overspent some money, and I wasn't able to get to two classes on time, I wasn't able to coordinate well with one of my supervisors either, and some parts of my apartment got too totally messy. I also continued to struggle with some ruminating thoughts, intrusive thoughts, and sadness, especially from dealing with an aggressive classmate in the past. I just accept the problem aspects of my life, which I am continuously working on. Like all human beings, we all have unique challenges in our lives, to work through and persist through.
💕What is something else that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add, Or Share with us this week?!... WE want to hear from YOU~
Something else that I want to talk about ... I don't know, I sometimes struggle with wishing that I lived my life differently, or that I at least lived these last 2 and a half years differently somehow. But, there were just so many things that I could not forsee or control. So, I'm overall okay and confident with how things have went, largely, and I think they were meant to be that way. It is learning and growing and gaining experience, which I otherwise couldn't.
@ZoraK
That’s great for you that your first week of February went well & positive for you! And that you got a lot accomplished. 👊🏼
Maintaining “consistency” is a wonderful goal to strive for in the month ahead! I’m totally with you on that one! It sounds like you have a lot of important things coming up and we wish you much luck & good vibes with it all! 👍🏼
How lovely that you have an amazing BF to share Valentine’s Day with (even if via text messages, phone calls & video chats)! ❤️
Focusing on Keeping our surroundings clean & organized is definitely a great way to improve upon our health & wellbeing mentally & emotionally! That’s also a great goal to work towards for our overall wellness! As it helps to clear & unclutter our minds & thoughts as well!
Ohhh you like clothes & outfits! Just like me! (I love being able to “shop” in my closet & put something together that I haven’t thought of or worn in awhile)~
Not being able to repair your laptop as well as overspending can definitely be a struggle, Along with your other challenges of the week with negative things, thoughts & emotions… But it’s definitely a great thing that you are trying to focus on the “positive” & work on it all. As well as persist through it!… And despite all of the challenges that you are working through, it’s great that you are continuing to “learn, grow, & gain experience” from it all! (That all comes from time, age, and Wisdom)! So keep up the great work that you are doing there! You’re doing an amazing job. 👊🏼
And thank you for checking in with us this week & sharing. Please continue to check back & let us know how you’re doing!
@PoliteOcean
Physically I'm close to being back to normal, ironically being back at work will help settle me ☹️
Had some ups and downs emotionally. My friend is struggling recovering from her operation and a couple of times I have felt honoured talking to her in the early hours when she couldn't sleep.
@RunningMachine
That’s great for you that you are close to feeling up-to-par again!... I get how good that feels!
Sorry to hear about the emotional ups & downs... Hopefully everything is coming together there with whatever was troubling you. But it’s great that you were able to take the time & be there for your friend while she’s recovering ❤️🩹, while also dealing with your own matters..~ I’m sure she appreciated your support.
Thanks for checking in to share with us this week and continue to keep us updated on things.
Yes! Hello February!! In three weeks my birthday 🎂
@CharmingHumanKidaa
Nice! What are your Birthday plans?!
Go out and do some activities, my finacé and I will dine in, and maybe go to spa. 🥳🍰💆🏾♀️
@CharmingHumanKidaa
ohhh… A spa sounds like an amazing idea 👍🏼
Enjoy 😉
Thank you 😊
I'd rather have a dozen roses. Don't need the sugar from Hershey kisses. I prefer dark chocolate and low sugar. My husband and I haven't been able to get out as much to walk and work activities because of the weather but it looks like we're going to to warm up here in South Alabama. I enjoy swimming best of all so I'll have to wait a while for that! We walk and do some stretching, etc for exercise! At our age, that's pretty good!
@gentlePlane4577
Dozen roses! Definitely a great choice over the added sugars 🤪 lol..
I know what you mean about the weather making it challenging to get outdoors for the activity that you desire. I think it’s great though that you & your husband are doing it together & supporting one another! And yes it will be a nice change to see a little warm-up next week to help with it all!
I enjoy swimming as well. The water feels so good & amazing in the Southern heat~ I like to go to my local gym for Aqua classes. Do you have any Aqua classes near you that you could try during the colder months?
That’s wonderful that you are walking as well as stretching together! Stretching is so important for our bodies & wellbeing! Even more so as we age. It sounds like you both are doing an Amazing job & keeping each other accountable! Keep up the great work that you are doing! 👊🏼👍🏼
And thank you for sharing with us this week! Please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing!
Thank you for your thoughtful response. Yes, we can go to Silver Sneakers when we are at our other home near the town that's close by. We spend most of our time out in the country where we're building our smaller home and it's difficult for us to travel back and forth. Time is valuable and even more so the older we become. We enjoy working on our new smaller house and get good exercise at same time! Enjoy your weekend!
