**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US
🌞 This past week went by quickly.... But thankfully my energy was up better from the last week. I was able to continue to keep up with & knock out my goals each day this week..... However, my sleep was really off this week. But, next week is going to be such a busy week for me, so I'm trying to process how to work around the things I will need to do & get done. And also get back on track with those sleep goals ahead.
🌊 I was able to get in plenty of activity/exercise this week, and kept up with my classes.... The weather has also been very sunny, warm, & beautiful here this past week. So I was able to get outdoors alot with the Furbaby~ (I also "dog-sat" for my son's dog a few days)... So that kept me on my toes as well... Lately as I've been attending my group fitness classes, and seeing other instructors that I started out with years ago still going strong, It has me feeling some kind of way. Because I know that I personally on my own accord took a break from instructing fitness classes. And my break away has gone longer that I initially anticipated....I felt that I would be ready, and be back to things by now at least in some way.... But its been challenging to only be a “participant” myself when I know I want to get back to it. But, the time away also has me feeling like I still need that break after so many years of teaching ( and Very recently, being "reminded" of WHY I've taken as long as I have)!... But, the thought of it all has had me a little 'torn' on things & on when/how I want to proceed again~ But I'll continue to let my Faith guide the way~
🌷 This weekend is a long holiday weekend here. And I'm really looking forwards to it. As of now it will also be quite a busy one with lots of things to do and get done..... Saturday intentions are to get up for a Zumba class... then we are taking a bit of a road-trip of sorts afterwards, so it will be a long day.... Sunday intentions are to prep & work on getting my Pool opened back up for the summer, then there's an afternoon Spring festival & some shopping afterwards for things for the holiday.... Monday is the holiday (intentions are to grill) along with a few other things... Then mid-week, take a few day trip to the beach~... I will totally be off-plan in the week ahead, but, Intentions are to stay "Mindful"!
@PoliteOcean
🌞 Hey Everyone, How are you doing today?.... And how did your week go for you?~ I'm doing good so far and I guess you can say I am on time for this check-in or too early lol, the week has been good for the most part!
🌷 This is our "LAST" Check-in for the Month of May~.... This month has flown by!~....How are you feeling about the past month overall?... Also, as we wrap-up "MAY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH", what are some "Positive Take-aways" for you from May as we get ready to enter a new month ahead?
I can for sure say this month has zoomed by, some of the positives I can take away from this month is to never give up, and there is always beauty in the rejections. Another is to keep going forward <3
🍉 This weekend ahead will be a "Long Holiday" weekend here in the USA as we celebrate "MEMORIAL DAY" (and our heroes) on Monday~.... Whether or not you are celebrating in holiday activities, What are your weekend plans ahead?!
I am going to be honoring those that I have lost as family friends, and even high school friends that have been lost dedicating their lives to our freedom. As well, as spending time with family <3
🏊 JUST FOR FUN:... You are stuck on a deserted island, and the ONLY food you have to survive on begins with the FIRST letter of your 7cups Name!... WHAT FOOD is helping you to thrive?!
sheesh lol way to make this one easy XD The only thing that came to mind was Ice XD
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
Highlights: I went to a Nerd market festival with my husband and we got some cool things to bring home and I even got a henna tattoo. It was such a fun time <3. Another was that I got a job again, I have been studying or the licensing. I begin the courses on Monday, and I start going to the agent meetings as well, and get to pick out what course I would like to go down.
Struggles: I almost lost sight of the beauty in rejections, I also thought I was never going to get anywhere for a moment and felt like I was not doing enough as a mother, an wife. It made my mental plummet a good bit, but I am okay now
🌷 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! .... WE want to hear from YOU~
I am excited to have a job again, I am beyond grateful for this experience, and I am so ready for PRIDE month to begin <3
@InsightfulPhoenix
Hey there!~
Looks like you are right on time this week? But ANY time is a great time to respond!! :D And we’re glad to have you join in whenever you can!
That’s great for you that you have been doing good this week. And that your week went well for you.~
Keeping positive thoughts can definitely give us positive take-aways… And you being able to Remind yourself to “never give up” & finding “beauty in rejections” can only continue to increase the faith & strength within to keep moving forwards… (Even when it’s not always the easiest to do)! But it sounds like you are doing an amazing job. So continue to keep up the great work!
It also sounds like you will have a wonderfully planned weekend ahead. Both Honoring as well as enjoying your loved ones. Enjoy it :) <3
Lol, glad to hear you had some fun with this weeks Icebreaker! 😉…..(Ice is good)! We need water if we’re stranded!! …”Icecream” is also a good “I” word too! 😂
Nerd Market Festival?! 🧐 Sounds fun! Henna tats are definitely fun too! The only one I got didn’t last long though. But that was years ago… Hopefully they improved! Wouldn’t mind experimenting with some for future reference?! …What was your Tat of?!
Oh my goodness! How awesome for you that you now have another job! That is great news for you & your little family. And despite the struggles you were dealing with (particularly on your mental health) while waiting, the highlights that you’ve had just in the past week alone is continued proof of how things always come together in some way. And the Lord continues to make a way & provide…. And It sounds like you can relax (mentally) now for bit after having gone through what you did. I can certainly understand you being excited. As well you should be! It’s an exciting & positive time for you. Congrats!
Please continue to keep us updated on the new job and how everything is going there! And thank you for checking in and sharing your week with us!
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Sunday I discovered I can watch social media videos on my new Obama phone. The sound is really tinny and I have to hold it with my hand and can't do it when anyone else is around. I bought Phosfood to put on my legs because they get really tight. It cost $30 for 2 oz. I had to use a spoon to put Miracle Whip on my sandwich bread because there were no clean knives available. I wish Alan was still here. Leslie is a total pig. Tuesday Leslie bought a new refrigerator. Unfortunately my ice pack disappeared. This means I've had 4 ice packs in Leslie's freezer that have disappeared. I went to the library 3 times and went for a walk 3 times. I came up with the brilliant idea of maybe getting a Vitamin B-12 injection. I don't want to do anything to interfere with my reading theology time since Tunde only works for me 3 days a week.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ Despite the sound quality, that’s good for you that you are able to get access to what you need with your new phone… Hopefully despite the price of what you bought, that it will work for your legs…. As far as your ice-packs, have you asked Leslie about them? Sounds like someone might have unfortunately thrown them away?.. It’s great that you are continuing to keep up with your walking activities & trips to the library. Getting out & about is good & crucial for our overall wellbeing. Vitamin B12 injections could help for those who might be deficient… I‘m not deficient but have got them a few times in the past to see if it would increase energy…, but can’t really definitively say it did much for me?.. if you decide to get them you will have to follow up and let us know how they worked for you. Thanks for checking in and sharing your week. Please continue to let us know how things are going.
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
It's good to hear that you're doing well. Good luck with your upcoming busy time.
Hey Everyone, How are you doing today?.... And how did your week go for you?~ It was ok and finished by something that worked out so well. I drive a little car that is unusual and it's been hard for me to find a garage in this state that's near me and works on this type car. I found one and it was about 5 miles away, and they were so good. They were nice and professional and fast. And I sat outside while they worked on my car and watched the birds and clouds and traffic. It was nice weather. It was a great way to spend my thursday.
🌷 This is our "LAST" Check-in for the Month of May~.... This month has flown by!~....How are you feeling about the past month overall?... Also, as we wrap-up "MAY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH", what are some "Positive Take-aways" for you from May as we get ready to enter a new month ahead? As usual, I'm so glad it's over. I got a B and an A for my spring classes. I'll take it. But I am so glad I found the garage where I took my car. That was great.
🍉 This weekend ahead will be a "Long Holiday" weekend here in the USA as we celebrate "MEMORIAL DAY" (and our heroes) on Monday~.... Whether or not you are celebrating in holiday activities, What are your weekend plans ahead?! I am going to relax. If I think of anything else to do, I'll make my decisions from there.
🏊 JUST FOR FUN:... You are stuck on a deserted island, and the ONLY food you have to survive on begins with the FIRST letter of your 7cups Name!... WHAT FOOD is helping you to thrive?! pizza
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I've been pretty tired. I just went with it and relaxed.
🌷 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! .... WE want to hear fro
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree! (Again thank you for your kind words as always). :)
That’s so great for you that were able to find the help you needed to get your car worked on & even better that it was so close by!… And what better way to spend your time during this by simply enjoying the weather, And by being mindful taking in the things around you in a positive way! Sometimes it really is just the simplest things that make us feel good mentally. And I’m happy for you that you enjoyed that time & that it made you feel good! <3
How awesome for you for doing so well in your spring classes! I know you were a little stressed about things. So I’d say congrats are in order to you! Great job.
I’m with you.. the holiday is really a great time to relax. And Take in the day as it comes and going with the flow of things. Thats my intention also (outside of grilling a few picnic foods) lol…
I hope you Enjoy your relaxing holiday! And thank you so much for checking in and sharing your week. It sounds like a peaceful one for the most part (even when you had to take care of your vehicle)! I’m glad you are continuing to take care of yourself. And please continue to keep us updated on how you are doing!
@PoliteOcean
🌞 i'm doing so good! my week went great as well, literally this whole week, I never had a bad day. it really flew by!!
🌷 this month was pretty awesome. I felt more inspired this month, I joined 7 cups this month, and I practiced more good habits! the positive take-aways is that I got much more sleep this month, I got on top of school work, I found resources to help with my career, I lost some fat around my waist, and I've been dancing (and exercising even more). this month just was a great month that I can 100% look back on and smile about :)
🍉 for the weekend, I'm planning to get ready for graduation (it's on the 30th of this month!) and I have to study because finals are also this upcoming week :( I'm going to dance more this weekend because I want to learn the dance of a new song that came out yesterday. other than that, I'm going to get everything done and try to relax on Monday!
🏊 ehhhh, tacos? I like them but not my everyday go to thing! but tacos it is.
🌞 I didn't have much struggles this week, but I still have been waking up too late for school. another highlight is that my friends, my bf, and I actually got free breakfast! we got it because we're a part of this international medical organization- and we went on a field trip one month ago. my school wanted to celebrate our awards, so free breakfast it was!
🌷 as for the breakfast, we had waffles, fried chicken, strawberries, chocolate chips, potatoes... it was a feast! overall, this week was so good that it felt like a dream!!
@thisismyusernamefr
Hey there! ~
Wow you sound so great! That’s awesome for you that you had such an amazing week! And the past month has been just as awesome for you!
How wonderful for you that you are feeling inspired here at Cups! And that you are keeping up with good habits by (getting more sleep, staying in top of school work, dealing with your career efforts, and getting in exercise)!!! This is all really AMAZING for you! Please continue to keep up the great work and awesome job that you are doing! 👏🏼
It’s also so awesome for you that you are approaching graduation!! 🧑🎓!! Yay!! 🥳 Congrats to you!! Best wishes to you there and also in getting everything done that you desire to do so you can relax on Monday!
Btw, How awesome for FREE breakfast! Thats a great highlight~ And it sounds like it was really good and tasty! (At least the strawberries were a healthy option)! 😂 .. and definitely a feast! Seems like lots of fun 🤩
Thank you for checking in to share your week with us! Please keep us updated on how things are going & how graduation went for you!

N- Navajo tacos! Indian fry bread topped with mutton, pinto beans, lettuce, tomato, and cheddar cheese
🌞 What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
I am still struggling with dealing with my diabetes diagnosis. Trying to find foods I can eat that make me feel full is a struggle. Also, a lot of the suggested healthy choices are things I don't like/ not used to eating. I have been so scared of my sugar levels that I don't eat. My doctor was happy because I lost 6 lbs. in 4 weeks, but my kids are afraid I'm going to have an eating disorder.
@NotAllHere713
Hey there!
Those tacos sound pretty amazing!
We’re sorry to hear that you are struggling with your new diagnosis. Im sure that has been quite a challenge for you. I’m not sure which type you were diagnosed with? Are you working with a nutritionist? Keep in mind that if you are type 2, that doing all the necessary things can help to “reverse” the situation. Eating well & getting in exercises can help tremendously. And congrats to you on achieving that 6lb loss! Awesome job to you and keep up the great work! It sounds like you are already on your way to accomplishing what needs done.
We are here to support you & your efforts here at Cups! And thank you for checking in to share with us this week. Please continue to keep us updated on things.
@PoliteOcean
My week was a good one. I attended a conference for TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Provincial Recognition Days and my husband was the King 👑 and he male that lost the most weight in the province and became a Kops. He had a yellow rose to give to someone to inspire others to hit their weight loss goals and he gave it to me. I knew he would but found it really emotional and cried like a baby lol 😂
I drank and ate too much but lost 3lbs this week so very happy about that!
🌷
I turned 58 yesterday and very happy to start a year of positivity! I need more Joy definitely in day to day so it began yesterday and coffee or breakfast outside on the deck and more walks and less getting stuck in my head about things … I love the let them theory … I cannot make others do what I prefer so I will do me and they can do them. Those who value me will be there and those who don’t simply I need to distance from them to have a positive mind space. Boundaries rule!! 💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌💕💕
🍉
🏊 JUST FOR FUN:... sweets hahaha 😂 🍭🍬🍭🍬🍭🍬
Goals for my 58th year I bought along narrow bulky notebook and write in moments of JOY and indeed of papers in a jar when I feel down I can flip through this notebook … 📓 🌞
🌷 Very glad to be back at 7cups I have missed it! 💕💕🙌🙌😎😎
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Hey there Sun~ We are glad to see you back at Cups! And hope all is well.~ 😊
It’s great that your week went good for you. And sounds like both you (& your hubby) are obviously continuing to do a fabulous job in your weightloss efforts. As we know it’s not always an easy journey. But to be recognized for your efforts and seeing them pay off definitely makes it worth it! 🙌🏼
Also happy Belated Birthday 🎈 Sounds like it’s a great start to one?! ..I totally agree on the breakfast on the deck outside & more walks (& much less “head mess”)!! 🙌🏼 And creating boundaries with anyone who produces toxic stressors in our lives, we deserve to distance ourselves from! Great job to you!
Creating & setting goals/birthday goals in a notebook and journaling is a great way to see how you are going, how far you’ve come, and set positive tones for yourself. Keep up the great work!
Again welcome back! And thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you. Please continue to keep us updated.
