Have any of you been to a 4DX movie theater?
Aside: Husband has now graduated to a walking boot. He had an ankle replacement on 8/10. He can only put 50% of his weight on his right foot for the next few weeks. He starts PT in a couple of weeks. All is going very well.
Anyway, we decided to go to movie yesterday. The movie was reasonably serious... However, the seats tilted forward and backwards; side to side, shook and bounced like crazy. Additionally, puffs of air blew out of the back of our seats... There was a "water on/off" button on the armrests... Needless to say, when there was a water scene... a light water mist blew from the back of the seat in front of us...😳🤣!! All of this was to match what was happening during the movie.
After the initial shock, it was absolutely hilarious. We barely stopped laughing for the next 2 hours. We are going to wait for the movie to come to a streaming service, so we can actually "see" the movie!! Even thinking about it now, makes me laugh!!5 -

When my husband passed away I couldn't sleep for months, then I discovered if I listened to something on the radio, like a narrated story, my mind focused on the story instead of a thousand other things and I feel asleep! 11 years later and I still fall asleep to the radio!2 -

Of course you can join. We all started 3 weeks ago, so let me know what your weight was then
I'll add you to the sheet, no need to do anything, just keep losing the lbs and try for 21lb loss by Christmas 2 -

Sounds like fun. I have never heard of that before! What movie did you attend? I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. Love to try something new.

Yay! Back in the right direction! I will be so thrilled when I get below 150!
I didn't get too many steps in this week but have been more diligent about tracking and made it to spinning, bodypump (weights), and yoga!

In the past I have listened to 432hz music for deep sleep. I totally forgot about it. I am going to try that again. Thanks for reminding me.

Went out and bought my new running shoes as a reward for losing 100 pounds and some new work outs clothes. It's nice not having to worry if there's a big and tall section in a store anymore.6

Yay, totally relate to this, I can now buy clothes in "normal" shops! Can't keep me out of there now, even though I keep telling myself to wait until I'm done losing!!3 -

Awesome loss! Next week you will get to the new decade. With tracking and all that exercise you will be successful.Went out and bought my new running shoes as a reward for losing 100 pounds and some new work outs clothes. It's nice not having to worry if there's a big and tall section in a store anymore.
What a nice reward. I still shop at plus size for the most part. Once I hit the point where I can wear a large I will be shopping in non plus size stores.
