@Cyncia85 I listen to Peloton classes mostly, or music. If you’re looking for a good podcast I love Crime Junkies and all their related true crime podcasts.
@Pupowl we recently watched a movie about the Mamas and Papas and other related groups from that time period based out of California. It’s called Echo in the Canyon and it’s narrated by Jakob Dylan, Bob Dylan’s son. The soundtrack is amazing. He re-made a number of songs with other artists like Norah Jones.4 -
@Pupowl — Thanks for the reminder to respond to @Cyncia85’s prompt to our team. I appreciate getting ideas like this from other group members.
Our rowing coaches usually play music during the winter conditioning workouts on the erg, while stretching, and moving through our weight lifting routines. I think they find the playlists on YouTube or their Peloton group. Sometimes they play 80’s songs, workout motivation playlists, or current hip hop and pop music mixes.
Occasionally, I’ll make a pact with myself to stream episodes while using the stair climbing or elliptical machine at the YMCA but I haven’t done that lately. It’s a good reminder for me to try this again!
Personally, I like a variety of music and often gravitate to some of the hits from the 60’s and early 70’s. I’ll often turn on Pandora and listen to a set artist or playlist theme while cooking, but that’s mainly when I’m home alone. My husband likes to keep the television on whenever he’s home and I don’t like to use earbuds so that’s my home-alone-dance-in-the-kitchen activity. One of these days, I’ll take the time to find comfortable earbuds. Right now, I only use them on an airplane or at the YMCA.
I’ll look forward to seeing what others listen to during a workout. I appreciate the questions you pose to engage the group @Cyncia85 and others. Enjoy!3 -
Hi All!
What do you listen to during a workout?
Is there a podcast or playlist you can recommend?
Or maybe you stream a show?
Or an audio book?
I listen to Pandora either 70s yacht rock or country lifting [actual station] BODi [formerly Beachbody] would have music streaming while workouts were on, but due to copyrights they took out the music3 -
@Cyncia85, I'm eclectic on my musical taste. I listen to just about anything.4

The daily card:We can be really hard on ourselves. To balance feelings of self-criticism and unworthiness, it is really important to remember that fundamentally, we are actually on our own side. A good way to do this is to develop gratitude for yourself, recognizing that so much of what you do, you do for your own good-even if it doesn't always work out in the way you expected. Take a few minutes today to close your eyes and thank yourself, because you're doing the best you can.
This is a good one - a great way to practice self-compassion.
Thank you for typing out the card, I started to squint to read the card

I also liked it! I was afraid it would be hard to read, especially on mobile, so I will keep writing out the ones with smaller text. Glad to hear that was indeed a good idea.

I have anemia and my blood pressure got wonky. I have had to quit coffee.
*sad*
A photo for you from my favorite coffee shop on the coast...
Speaking of the 60's music scene of LA and Laurel Canyon, great book -- "Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart Of The Hippie Dream" -- it's bonkers. A person kinda needs to know the players in the 60's scene though.

Tuesday ~ Feb 20
Good morning Shape Shifters. As usual, I started my morning with a walk. It was really quiet outside. I felt like walking a bit longer, so I took a new path. I had an inkling of where it would go and it was a nice extra little loop. It added around 12 minutes to my walk. Everything looks so drab and brown outside though. It is great for walking, but not for pictures. I am not looking forward to warmer and sunny weather, but prettier nature is very welcome. When I got home I did some cleaning in the garden. My 'no mess' bird food started sprouting and there was a layer of mushed up left over bird food on the ground. It was gross. I dug that all out, cleaned the water bowl, raked some leaves and put out new bird food. In the afternoon I did my gym rings. It went well and I was less sore than the second time so that's good. Tinus wanted lots of walks so we had some nice times outside. In the evening a couple came to look over the cat tree. They were nice and ended up buying it, so I made another 65 euros back. With the other cat tree and toys I sold, I can pay for Tinus' medication for two months, so that's pretty good!Happy Wednesday everyone
walk, good sleep, food & protein, garden work, gym rings, sold cat tree

My weight was not very cooperative this week. I gained on 4 days despite eating well and in a deficit. I am still happy with the loss though and it is nice to be a little firmer into onderland. I have only had 1 high food day so far this month which is pretty impressive! I know I am doing everything right, so I will keep going.6 -
