Welcome to the Mississippi Blues Trail:

I chose the Blues for Week 1 because I'm from Mississippi, the Blues influenced almost every genre in some way, and I listened to very interesting podcast last week that sparked my interest in the Blues. (See Challenge #2 option

Do you need to know what group we are doing? Like a or b? Or does that matter you can choose what ever you want for the different challenges?1

@stephaniejones1055 It doesn't matter. If you'd like to say you can but as long as you do one of the options

The spreadsheet says view only
I completed my diary today under calorie goal, tracked my food, did over 30 mins of exercise, And drank my water1 -
@stephaniejones1055 I'll change it. Thanks0
-
@stephaniejones1055 it should be editable now.1
-
Where do we put our points? Is there a slot for this on the spreadsheet? By the way that was a great podcast! I learned so much and then spent a hour Googling up stuff
Like the 27 club. Very interesting. 1 -
@happykat5 there is a link to the spreadsheet at the bottom of the post. You can also post here and I can update it.
Glad you enjoyed it 0 -
@mrsjhardin Ah, I see it now!1

The Robert Johnson podcast was awesome will there be something similar to that every week it was so interesting.1
-
Challenge #1 - My granddaughter and I danced to Milkcow's Calf Blues, the version by Eric Clapton on his album "Me and Mr. Johnson"1
-
Challenge #2 - I walked just over 45,000 steps so far this week and had two 10,000+ days.2
-
Challenge #3 - I'm lagging with the water. No 8 cup days for me. Just one 7 cup day and all the rest 6 cup days so far.

@1theresamcvean I struggle with water myself. I found a 40 ounce bottle1
-
@stephaniejones1055 I'm glad you enjoyed it. I will try to work something in each week. It just depends on the theme/genre.0
-
I listen to Home Free’s version. Pretty neat it was like country mixed in with a Barber Shop quartet. Very neat to listen to and my daughter enjoyed it as well. I replaced challenge #3. I have a total gastrectomy and I can’t drink water.1

@happykat5 They are certainly interesting0
