    Ok - I need help... I need to trim the fat off my budget and I am switching from cable to live streaming... One problem, I know nothing about different streaming stations...

    Please help - If you are a streamer and you are currently using a live streaming station (HULU, Netflix, etc.) which includes primary channels ( 4, 5, 7, 10, etc. ), and if you are willing to share, please let me know what it costs you? How it works? What you think about it? or anything else you want to help me out with???

    I know this is not about fitness - but my financial and mental stability impact my health too... Help me out, I would love to hear from my friends that do stream...

    Thanks

    Well a NSV health achievement huh... I guess it would managing the 2 biggest things that impact everyday. Managing my Ostomy and my prosthetic, they both figure in on what I eat and how I eat. Since I have been losing weight Shadow the stoma has had better fittings with his Ostomy Gear. It doesn't leak now, I don't have to add layer upon layers of adhesives to prevent those leaks, and most of all I don't have to add 2 barrier strips to finalize the seal around the wafer. That alone is a win win for me.

    For putting on my brace and strapping it into place, because Shadow is better behave cuz of the diet it's much easier to get the brace on and put into place and secure the Velcro fasteners without Shadow causing problems. It now easier on my knees, easier on whats left of the lower calf.

    Pack-in a hundred extra pounds is not good for the stoma placement and for the lower leg. It causes extra care on my part and then when it hits the fan with either of them, my day is just completely in the garbage can.

    That's my NSV

    As far as I know Hulu is the only service that offers live streaming. It’s around $45 a month. I don’t pay for it, I don’t care about live streaming and their regular plan is significantly cheaper at just $6 a month. Why do you want live streaming?

    I just cut down the number of streaming services I use so now I have Hulu and Disney+ I used to also use HBO and Netflix but decided neither had enough content I cared about to continue with them anymore.

    Amazon Prime I have access to through my in-laws but it also doesn’t have content I’m super interested in. Which streaming service is best for you really depends on what you want/need.

    Day 3 would be that in last 10 years Ive had both knees replaced, right shoulder replaced and brain surgery to fix my eye! Smh AND Im still here! Normally when Im in pain I wouldn't work out but Ive come to learn that the pains no worse and actually like today it actually reduces the pain somehow! Who knew?? But God.

    I hear ya.

    Last week I was in so much pain for going hard four days in a row. Had a chance to rest my knees for three days, still hurt yesterday but I said the heck with it and worked out. This morning was sore, but after running around with the wife all morning shopping for Turkey day, they don't feel as bad. It's hit and miss with me. Sometimes when I work out, they feel better, sometimes worse. Going to get the most out my knees till I get them replaced in January.

    Thanks for inspiring us!

    @holmesp603 That's a great one that the exercise actually HELPS the pain!

    @Navydaddjtc Great benefit!! And having everything fit together well keeps you exercising & out of pain. Keeps you out of the vicious cycle. Very good!!

    I was going to dump cable, quite a few years ago. I got an antenna for the attic - with it I could get the 3 local news stations. In the end, my husband didn't want to give it up but we did install the antenna & prove the concept. We stream Hulu & Netflix but not Live. I think Hulu's about $11 without commercials & $16 for Netlix (keeps going up; we can stream 4 devices at once I think, which we found we needed - there are cheaper plans with only two devices at once).

    Day 4 - Day Before Thanksgiving

    My goal is to get my cardio in and try to stick to OMAD ---eat my bday sushi and cake--- and then try to eat mindfully, slowly and hopefully be too busy hosting to overeat...but I will eat the treats.
