Bummer. I let a couple of long days at work derail me. Need to figure out a plan to overcome obstacles.4 -
@Pupowl i know how frustrating that can be to see the scale move up when you’re doing the same thing. Sometimes the scale is just mean.
I love your inspirational cards and your weight workout tracker too. I do peloton classes for weights because I find it hard to keep track of things on my own. I’m sure your chart is helpful.

Sunday ~ Feb 18
Good morning Shape Shifters. It was raining all Sunday here which wasn't very nice. Tinus didn't like it either. We went out a few times and he got wet every time. I cleaned my bedroom, washed the bedsheets, my cow plushie and my pillow. I did my gym rings workout in the afternoon. My muscles were still a bit sore, but the workout went well. I kept my food really low because I was so frustrated with the scale. I never want to see the number start with a 2 again! This morning I was happy to see a 1 again.Happy Monday everyone
good sleep & food, gym rings workout, cleaning 
a lot of rain so no walk

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?1 -

Monday ~ Feb 19
Good morning Shape Shifters. I had another nice walk in the morning. The weather didn't look very good, but I saw a pretty double rainbow and it stayed dry. The afternoon was really lazy and boring. Tinus wanted a lot of laptime so I couldn't do much. I watched some YT videos, read a lot and listened to music. I felt the need to do something productive in the evening, so I cleared out some more stuff upstairs and moved a pile to the trash. The cat toys are not selling at all, so I think those will just go to the shelter at some point.Happy Tuesday everyone walk, good sleep, food & protein, decluttering nothing! 6 -
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.

I like to listen to oldies. This is a playlist I made with some of my favorite songs.

@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 -

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

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 3 -

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. 4 -
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.
