In the very beginning, at the start of week 1, we all contracted with ourselves to improve our lifestyles, bit by bit, with each day and each week that passed by.
Remember these everyone?
I can categorically say I had fun!!! It was amazing, especially these last two weeks when we had first partners, and then teems. The teem spirit on each teem was outstanding and the genuine outpouring of love and support for each other across the teems was so lovely to witness and to be a part of...
There was plenty of encouragement going around and I did my fair share. It felt really good to check in on people during the week to make sure they were ok and able to handle their biggest challenges of the day, and I certainly felt the love in return.
We have all risen to the challenge and endured and I have been measuring my goals and achievements daily... I can't say I always achieved them...but I have certainly been improving with each week and feeling fitter, drinking my water quota regularly, eating healthily, and feeding my soul, with time spent on personal goals, and quiet time dedicated to meditation, contemplation, and prayer. This continuous practice has created some longer-standing habits that I will carry forward with me as we move on from this challenge to the next one. I do feel like I am thriving at the moment.
I want to thank @dreemsteem for running this wonderful challenge. Dreems, you are a huge inspiration to me personally and you are very much appreciated and loved.
To everyone who took part in the teem challenge this week... from those on my own team led by the incredible @deraaa ,who soldiered on and led from the front all week, despite falling ill, to those led by @tengolotodo and @hopestylist ...you were all incredible... I received so many messages in the comments on Hive and in Discord, encouraging, motivating, and just generally coming for a chat. I loved every single interaction with you all... and who can forget those amazing banners hehe... long may the support and love last. I do want to thank @iskafan for being there every single day, and not just once... but multiple times, on my old posts, my new posts...she was everywhere haha. I loved it. It was such fun chatting with you Iska, receiving so much encouragement from you and being able to return the favour ❤️😂
So, to round off the week ... I got 4 stars!
I dropped one star the other day. Work got to me and no amount of encouragement could get me over the line sadly... I was drained... and feeling a bit meh as I had a sore throat... it has come and gone since then... very weird... as in it was there... faded in intensity and then came back again today... my youngest also has a very sore throat and has been feeling hot the past few days, but he doesn't have a fever at all and he tested negative for covid today so maybe just a different little virus.
But I am super proud of my efforts this week. Lots of small wins accumulated over many weeks... building stronger each week; improving my life for the longer term.
