Weekly Healthy Living Check-In January 17th, 2026

❄️ This past week was different for me & a little more stressful from the typical.... AS Last weekend didn't start off the greatest due to some issues. So the weekend was spent indoors at home. It was a struggle for me to stay on track with everything that I would typically do, So I gave myself some Grace which was all that I could do... I did manage however to at least get in two small workouts at home both Sat. & Sun. to simply move my body & get in some steps before the weekend ended...~ The rest of it was spent with Loved ones & selfcare time. 

⛄ As the week itself began & started off, I attempted to get back on track with a morning Fitness class first thing on Monday... But again, due to some issues, it was the only class that I managed to get in at the gym for the week.... It has also been Very cold here throughout the week.. So I did what I could from home such as (Work & meeting step-goals) etc... I also focused on my Sleep & Hydration goals. I felt the past week was a minor set-back for me of sorts in where I wasn’t able to do All that I typically do, & also in not being where I thought I would be by this time in my personal goals this month… However, I focused where I could to help keep my thoughts positive, & again, gave myself more grace ... I also worked on Meditating & Journaling a few times this week, which is something that I haven't done in quite a while. Which felt good mentally & emotionally.... I also worked on some Winter deep-cleaning around my home (which helped to also clear out mental-clutter)!... With the Colder weather, & being stuck inside, its the perfect time to start & work on before Spring arrives~

❄️This weekend ahead will be much of the same as the past week has been, as I continue to take needed 'Self-care' time... And With the colder Weather, I also have no plans or intentions... Also While I'm still taking a Self-care break, I won’t be attending any weekend classes, but instead will workout at home for the weekend.... Its also a Long Holiday weekend here, so Intentions are just to relax, re-group, & work on creating better & healthier goals for the week ahead.~

@PoliteOcean Sunday I discovered one of the boys I went to college with became a senior pastor. He's been at the same church for 20 years so that's a good sign. Monday I came down with a terrible cold. I was really worried I would have to stay in bed all day but fortunately that didn't happen. I did cancel my outing with Justyce. I had a nice conversation with John's boyfriend Marley. I told him to read his Bible. I discovered something called Logotherapy developed by Viktor Frankl. It flips the script. Instead of asking what I want out of life, it asks what is life asking of me. I had diarrhea Tuesday and Friday night. I went to the library 3 times and went for 2 walks. Friday afternoon I went to Safeway but the stupid management only had one cashier so I had to skip my walk. I finished reading "Germinal" by Emile Zola. I started to read "Scarlet and Black" by Stendhal. Leslie is such a horrible person. I don't know why I've had to spend so much time here. God told me that this is a stage of my development. I don't know why this is the kind of development that I need. I still haven't been able to get my new Obama phone to work. Fortunately my old one is still okay. I've been struggling with my cold all week. I've started to take megadoses of immune booster supplements and I'm going to continue even after my cold goes away. My efforts to upgrade my wardrobe from my skilled nursing facility days is going well. 

@PoliteOcean

Definitely I would build a snowfort 🤗

I'm on the hunt for a new hobby, something to change things up a bit 🤗💚

I'm good this week, happy, content 🥰

@PoliteOcean

I'll give this a go !!

Fitness wise I'm a touch down on normal but will pick it up before the week is out. I target a minimum of 70 km a week from my daily treadmill sessions and my daily step target is to average 30k. Please don't be impressed, my runs and physical nature of work contribute hugely to it and I need to be active to keep thrombosis (blood clots) at bay.

I'm starting to feel a little smug though, with my love of sport and training others I've definitely developed a goal driven mentality, I've not missed a day yet this year of journalling and being more mindful.

My main reason roe joining 7 Cups was feeling stuck, specifically sacred of the future and subsequently no sense of purpose. Starting to feel a little more positive but please any suggestions for future hobbies that keep me moving and active without any contact are most welcome !! I tried a local ramblers group, but at 59 I still felt a youngster ð¤ªð¤ªð¤ª

@PoliteOcean 💗

I'm always grateful for y'all once agn, to constantly check in on us over the time.🤗💝

For me this week just passed away like just another blink, i feel lil guilty abt the stuffs i procrastinated:(

And I'm also grateful for the forbidden help had from my lord which Never expected' the way. 🤗

My phase was now calm but hard now... hope things will soon ease up for me. i thought of just pushing myself bit harder this to stop myself neglecting stuffs.

I feel guilty for things, abt this month's... like i couldn't see any progress 😕 but very few that i could be able to say it's does count as progress 🙃.

But yeah, i did my best than before on my spiritual side. I'm so grateful for my lord for that... that's the only thing that stood me grounded. 😊

I'm not abt start new hobbies, as i left my past itself away xD... i just have left my strech based workout... which i love the most to spend my time on. 💗 i just have to restart it all agn. 😣

I would prefer SNOWMAN. cus i inspired by the song name "Snow Man" by Sia. 😅😄

So, abt Highlights...

Like i just want to Quit few stuffs. it's so complicated for me to quit, but I'm certain abt my decision but I'm so confused and worried abt the thing's i have to go through once after i quit it. i also know only this way could help me move forward.

Some of my regrets and self blaming stoping me to take my path. i feel selfish to make this move. I'm just clueless 😔. Well... i hope i get my guidance someway, somehow...!!:)

I feel grounded, calm, can be able to see my goal's clearly but something keep disturbing, i just can't figure out what it is... I'm just being the victim of self blaming, i just feel I'm Pointless for being this way.

And for the late few day's, i mostly heard out from ppl's that I'm being lazy. I'm just so worried about it. can't help myself with this.

And i feel strange for oneself, like i completely faking myself or I'm unaware that the ppl's who make me feel that way. But i blame myself for being like this. i recently felt so afraid that Ppl's will hate me for what i am:(

Is that I'm just only being enthusiastic for being motivated and completely down on another time but in anyways i never be taking any action towards my goal's i feel 😔

Thank you for spending you precious time here reading this. I'm so glad that y'all choose help others even going through ur own hardships. ur soul's light up us alway's. 💞✨

Hugs. 🤗❤️

@PoliteOcean

How was your week & What's on your agenda for the Weekend ahead?!  This is going to be brief.  I've got a lot on my mind.  I was called for an interview.  But at this late date, the flight is $700.  That doesn't count the ubers and the tips.  It would end up being $1000 if I booked the flight today.  But I am not sure because of how much it costs to go to an interview that pays low.  But I want to live there, the apartments are affordable, and it is A JOB.  I have to wait until Tuesday to call them and let them know if I am coming or not.  That will probably add $200 to the flight, making the trip $1200.  That's a lot for me.  If I had the money I would say forget it and just put it on a credit card.  But I am poor.  

@PoliteOcean My issue is toxity. Last year I decided to leave someones home due to the toxity of 2 women. ! of whom the apartment belonged to. For several years both women and I never had a problem with each other but one began changing when her brother who was also my husband passed and her wife who started changing after their divorce as well as her former ex passing who also lived with her and her ex wife, Once the former ex passed I Don’t Know she like snapped. Since we always got along b’fore I tried several times chattin’ to her hoping she would realize how important she was to me and the importance of the friendship but didnt work. I had to leave to save my mental health and not lose all the work I did in day program on myself. She recently texted wanting to know when I would return—at one point I know I will need at least return to get my clothes and other important items from her but meanwhile I think through texting between her and I it made me realize what I Wanna and didnt Wanna. I stayed in the moment and I think God let me know what I need do which is to crash away from her and avoid all contact. I just dont have a clue as to what to do About my personal pocessions and important papers. To go there at this point due to how the transportation schedule of the bus over there would mean me at least needing to spend the night there. I am slowly awaiting to hear God’s voice as to what my next step(s) need be that would not jeopodize my mental and physical health. My heath isnt great and the toxiic these 2 women create can trigger my seizures as has happened once b’fore.
