    Totally agree, although the lyrics do play a part for me. I didn't grow up the country. I have no experiences with combines, trucks, drinking in fields, etc. which tend to be lyrical themes. I also like songs that get my heartrate pumping, so hard rock is my first love <3

    Hahahaha, I love this. I always say, my dog never tried to divorce me or take all my money so I cannot empathize with country music, lol.

    Awesome background. <3 . I guess I like bluegrass then. I was raised an hour drive from anywhere until middle school. However I was more fish hatchery and logging community than farming but I was among the farms and my parents own a little ranch.

    Even though I am from the north, I grew up listening to country because my dad is from the south. Somewhere along the way, country became pop music. I loved country when they let ugly people make music in Nashville! I have watched the CMAs here and there over the years, and it has been taken over by blonds and dudes that spend a lot of money on their hair, fake tans, pearly white teeth, etc.! There are no more outlaws. It was much better when people like Johnny Cash, George Jones, Hank, Hank Jr., Conway Twitty, Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, Alabama, etc., were making music.

    To be fair, a lot of the guys that are singing about driving a tractor or farming have never done it, either. Some of the idiotic things they say in country music that doesn't match reality drives me bonkers.

    I had 2 french toast sticks with my breakfast and they were only meh. Only used a little bit of my 1.1 ounce cup of sugar free syrup, but I had logged the whole thing(all 10 calories). So yeah, you guessed it, I took it like a shot super-trooper-style and have no regrets! I hit 92lbs lost today, so I figured I could get away with it.

    Congrats!! 92 lbs is amazing!

    I like both sides of country. The outlaw era and the currently (minus Sam Hunt) mainly because I can't do the talk singing BS. Lol

    I want to try and make some healthy ones. Let me know if you have any good recipes.

    Will do. I've tried one with quick oats, some cashew milk, Musclepharm (Combat Crunch bar company) Birthday Cake Protein Powder, & sprinkles. It's not too bad.

    The only Lent goal so far I've failed is not buying processed junk food. I bought some Poptarts (Watermelon flavored blech), those P.B. Bites (so tasty), & today I bought ice cream (there was a sale at Giant & I threw it in the deep freezer so it won't tempt me).

    I bought a few Talenti, Gelato Fiasco, some Ginger ice cream, & one Haagen Dazs.

    Debating if I am going to exercise today since I feel like I am coming down with a cold. I might walk on the treadmill for around 20-30 minutes.

    I took two Zinc pills today & I'm hoping it knocks the cold out.

    Normally I agree, but the birthday cake egg is pretty awesome (it even has sprinkles-which I'm weirdly obsessed with)

    Target didn't have it this year :(.

    I have to confess I am with Mo on this one. Johnny Cash is great. There are occassional other songs I can tolerate. It is not the lyrics, its the music. I enjoy and appreciate almost every other type of music but country make my skin crawl. I am from rural America.

    I like some of the '90's country, but nowadays I don't go out of my way to listen to it.

    I usually either switch between classic rock, contemporary stations that play a wide variety, & oldie stations.

    I confess that I have become way too forgiving to myself when I have a bad day. I have never been one to say "I went 500 calories over today so I will stay 100 under for the next 5 days to make up for it" I have more of a "it's over and tomorrow is a new day" sort of outlook. It's led to more bad days than good lately. So I'm going to challenge myself in March. It's a daily goal challenge and this is how it's going to go. I have a list of 10 daily goals. For every goal I hit, I get a point. The challenge is to get 200 points in March. In order to do that, I'll need to average 6.5 points a day. I think it would be hard to make up a 0 point day. I'm hoping that I will start to string together more good days. Here are my 10 daily goals

    1. Exercise
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. Stay under calorie goal
    4. Hit protein goal but stay under carb goal
    5. Meet fiber goal
    6. Keep sweets to 150 calories or less
    7. Log everything
    8. Have at least 3 servings of vegetables
    9. Get at least 6 1/2 hours of sleep
    10. Play with my dog

    I thought about making the 10th goal drinking enough water but playing with my dog seemed like more fun.

    I start Tuesday, March 1

    Opinions?

    <3 this!

    Keep us updated on how it goes!

    Agreed on this. What country I like is the older country, not the new stuff.

    ETA: Feel better soon. I woke up sick today too. :(

    AND she owns a pittie! We'd be fast friends, for sure!

    But rest assured, Quik. No one will ever take your place in my :heart: .

    @WestCoastJo82 I wanted you to know I mailed in my voter registration today. We MUST STOP DONALD TRUMP.

    Now, of course, I have no idea who to vote for but I sure want to vote against him.

    I like it all. Today would have been Johnny Cash's 86th? birthday (they announced it on the radio this am).

    Country today is now resembling old rock IMO. Although some are saying Chris Stapleton is bringing a return to more traditional country.

    I love this. I have totally missed my daily goals. Can I join in? Maybe not points, but go back to doing my daily goals?

    Confession: I estimate that I ate ~1600 calories OVER yesterday. I ate two Reese's eggs (which were not as good as I remember), a LOT of peanut butter, pizza flavored Pringles, ice cream... I was out of control. Sigh. :(

    But no alcohol or Cadbury eggs right? :smiley:
