Fitness/Self Care Check In

Wanting to contribute here today but a bit light on with fitness and self care lately.
So... Washed hair, put on makeup which I rarely do and pink lipstick to start today

Sound like a nice way to start the day happywoman! No fitness stuff today for me, but I went to group

1. Went to therapy today.
2. Went to Zumba class & used one pound handweights.
3. I am eating a raw green salad.

Ate a yummy vegetable curry that my husband cooked so beautifully.

Not doing so great with the healthy eating and exercising lately Need to get motivated again. I think one thing to motivate me is I really want to go swimming next summer, I want to wear a bikini top and shorts

Several people were very unkind to me today. Said some very hurtful things. Not wanting to start on a downward spiral, I immediately began to encourage myself by saying things like, You are a very good_____. You are doing a wonderful job. It helped. Cuz, I hate it when I "crash".

That's great! I'm sorry people were unkind to you

I am going to try and eat at least one meal a day. right now I have a protein drink and that is about it.... when I stress I don't eat...
So my goal is to eat one healthy meal a day, even it I just start with a small chicken breast and some broccoli

I haven't been eating lately. Even when my stomach is making awful noises and I feel hungry, there's part of me that is disgusted about the idea of food. That's Adderall for ya. However, I recently quit smoking and I feel a thousand times better. I've been showering daily and even bought some new clothes for myself. I cut and dyed my hair too. I feel attractive, for the first time in a long time. I just need to get rid of this beer belly and start lifting regularly and I'll be set.

Tomorrow I start eating healthier and exercising again. Looking forward to getting in shape I have some apples and white cheddar cheese for some healthy snacks. For self care, about to take a shower and write in my journal later tonight.

Exercised today, very small amount, but I'm working into things slowly. Drinking water throughout the day, limiting myself to 1 Coke and 1 cup of coffee. Eating healthier, snacking throughout the day on healthy stuff to speed up my metabolism. Gonna journal today

Showered last night and wrote in my journal, today I brushed my teeth 2 times, exercised, stuck to the healthier eating, started reading a good book, and practiced my violin, will check back in next Sunday to see how I'm doing How're things going for everyone else?

Not doing well. I am overworked (my job). No time for exercise. Not enough sleep. I started off well. But not now.

I hope you can get some rest soon

Hey guys, just checking in. I made it through a whole week of eating healthier and exercising!

Today is Sunday so it's my rest day (no exercise)

For self care I've been brushing my teeth two times a day every single day. Also I've decided to make a dentist appointment and eye doctor appointment to get new glasses. Dyed my hair the other day, and have been journaling.

Will add a 20 minute walk in the afternoons to my exercise routine (Sit ups, leg lifts, and weights)(5lb repetition) starting Monday.

I slept extra because I am depressed. Now I am up, have done my stretches, and am about to shower. Then to grocery store. I have been inside long enough.

Got my morning exercises done, will check back in after my afternoon walk once I see how that goes

I put an extra blanket on my bed as I have not been sleeping well due to increasing chill at night.

I had to remind myself to forgive those who have hurt me.

That's great SeekerOfLife, I hope you get some better sleep

Just got back from my walk, man am I sore. It was only a 20 minute walk but I'm not used to it.

Going to group this week which should be good, also will be calling in a few minutes about Dentist and Eye Doctor appointments.

I went for a horseback riding lesson. This time they worked me in a different way. I am sore. But it is a good sore. Go Seeker!!!

Sounds fun

I slept a lot today and rested after yesterday with all the cleaning.

For self care I lit candles and put some aroma therapy oils in them. I'm hoping to get the rest of cleaning done and take a shower tomorrow. I know it's not much but I'm so out of shape I need to stat somewhere...

It is something for you and that's what matters, every little bit counts


Just got back from my walk, wasn't as bad as yesterday. Plus, I found this big furry caterpillar on the way home Had group this morning. Going to do my other exercises in a little while.

Somehow managed to get through all my exercises, today was difficult for some reason.

For self care I'll be writing in my journal today or tomorrow and going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned in the morning.

I wrote in my journal this morning.

Shared a joke with the librarian.

Petted & scratched a dog.

Left a client when it became overwhelming.
