Weekly Healthy Living Check-In December 21st, 2024

🎄 This past week went well... and thankfully it also went quickly~ Things for the most part were Status-quo... I mostly stayed Home indoors last weekend due to the colder weather we had... However I did get up & get out to my morning Zumba class last Saturday, & got in a home workout last Sunday.... And Most of the day on Saturday I was able to finish getting all my Christmas wrapping completed & done!.. And was then able to focus on relaxing in the evenings, and spending quality time doing other things I enjoy.

🎁 I was able to focus on the past week & staying on track with my goals & intentions, meal-planning/tracking, Group Fitness classes, etc.... And was able to have a very productive week afterwards getting in any last minute Christmas errands completed!.... The weather here took a much "Milder" turn thankfully on Monday to start the week, And I was Finally able to get back outdoors for walks with the Furbaby~ Which we thoroughly enjoyed together.~  I also was able to keep on track with Sleep & hydration. Which in turn I felt much better this week & was less tired than I was over the past few previous weeks. (Now to attempt in some way to keep that up with the Christmas holiday ahead)...

🎅 This weekend ahead, intentions are to get up & get in my Last Sat. morning Zumba class for this month (as well as this year)~ Then take on the day ahead by getting all those last-minute errands done and things I need for Christmas Eve (when my Son & his pup will come to spend the night when we do all our Christmas eve traditions).... But Sat evening, We may also try to attempt another last holiday Festival or at least a nice Holiday Light show as well (if there's time & we feel up to it).... Then Christmas day will be at my mom's home... It will be very cold again this weekend ahead & throughout all of next week....  And all Group Fitness class have been very limited due to the holiday... So I will have to do my best there to motivate myself where & as much as I can when needed.... I do intend to enjoy the Holiday (and dinners etc..) in full... but I also intend to stay on track with my steps & workout goals as well.~ It will be about making the time to balance it all out..... But I'm definitely looking forwards to a much "slower paced" week ahead (one where I can relax a bit more, spend quality time with family, & I don't feel like I'm flying around all day long)! 

@PoliteOcean I'm writing this around 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning. I'm supposed to go to the library and then for a walk by the marina this afternoon. I'm not anticipating any disruption. Monday I cancelled my outing with Tunde because I was still recovering from my illness. I went for a walk twice and went to the library twice. I started my Madame Bovary study guide. It's very helpful but it doesn't have any questions. Sifa didn't know I was a chronic pain patient. It's incomprehensible he could be so idiotic. Does he think I'm here on vacation?  Friday I put Argan oil on my feet. It's very nerve-wracking. Leslie's grandchildren come over here on a regular basis. It's so inappropriate. Leslie and Sifa change the baby's diaper while I'm sitting in the living room. It makes me want to throw up. 🤢🤢🤢  Amanda is a terrible mother.  I'm was thinking that after I'm finished with Madame Bovary that I would get back to my vocabulary words. Now I'm thinking I should stick with reading. One of these days I want to start an in-person literature discussion club. 

@PoliteOcean I would like to say to every one Happy Holidays and Happy New Years 

@PoliteOcean

This past month was a bit stressful with finals so I haven't been able to take much care of my health. However, now this school is over I have a bit more time to think about myself and get into better routines again. Hopefully I can solidify them before the next semester begins so I don't fall out of them again!

I'm hoping to exercise more and make healthier food for myself.

@PoliteOcean

Hi, Ocean,

How has your week been going, & what is something that you are looking forwards to this weekend ahead?   Well, I spoke to an attorney.  They seem interested in my case.  I have an  appointment with  their intake coordinator on Monday.  

🎁This is our "THIRD" Check-in for the Month of "DECEMBER", & CHRISTMAS is almost upon us~.... How are you feeling, & are you coping with any last minute Holiday stressors?... How are you taking care of yourself during this time in a "Healthy Way"? ... And what are your Hopes or Plans as we enter the Holiday week ahead?  I'm ok about Christmas.  I  have two days off and will look forward to spending it with my kitty, Chloe.  I'm still spending a lot of time in bed because I'm still sick.  My hopes are that they will take my case, and that we'll win.  But I'm not getting my hopes up.

🎅As We get ready to enter the last 'full' week of December, & ponder on the New year ahead,  What do you feel is something that has changed for you & your life for the "Better" this year?

🎄JUST FOR FUN:.. Name "One" Christmas (Holiday Word, Song, OR.. Movie) beginning with the FIRST LETTER of your "7cups" Name! ... (Mine is "Poinsettia")~ .....

Hi, Ocean,

I pressed the post button accidentally.  So here are the test of my answers.

As We get ready to enter the last 'full' week of December, & ponder on the New year ahead,  What do you feel is something that has changed for you & your life for the "Better" this year?  I've started working for libraries, which is my upcoming career.  

🎄JUST FOR FUN:.. Name "One" Christmas (Holiday Word, Song, OR.. Movie) beginning with the FIRST LETTER of your "7cups" Name! ... (Mine is "Poinsettia")~ .....  I dunno.  How about Peace?

🎁What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?.... How were you able to work through your challenges?!  Well I was sick all week.  I took off 3 days and I've been sick for over a week.  I finally called the lawyers.
