Thursday Ice Breaker Question
Do you like reality TV? If so, what is your favorite show?
I don't like "reality" TV as I think it's mostly scripted and edited with the folks playing a part! (Same reason I don't watch paranormal ghost-hunter shows!). Two shows I did find interesting were the series, "Ice Road Truckers" which follows the dangerous jobs of 5 men who take semi-trailers over the frozen lakes of Canada to reach small mining communities. There's also a series about men and women who drive semis coast to coast across the barren wilderness of Australia. If you breakdown you better know how to fix the problem, as cell-phone service is usually spotty and it can be another day or so before you'll see another driver to get ya help!

My guilty pleasure is Love is Blind on Netflix. I also love Hell’s Kitchen!
Oh, Geee, I forgot about my guilty pleasure! Every two years, I purchase Hulu or Peacock (forget which!) so I can binge watch all the episodes I've missed on "Love DURING Lockup" and "Love AFTER Lockup" !!!

Where do you live, that you are taking Spanish lessons? I started taking Spanish when I went to college in 2000 (I was in my 40s when I finally saved the money on my own). It's a great language to learn / know living in the Metro-NYC area, and I already had many Latinx friends. Of course, as bizarre fate would have it I was forced to move in NoCentral PA in 2020 which has ZERO people of color. I saw one black woman at the small local hospital a year ago when I went for tests, and it was all I could do to not to run up to her and give her a hug and start gabbing to this complete stranger. (The only Asians in my little town of Canton, seem to be the two workers at the tiny Chinese takeout restaurant!)I also have a Spanish lesson.

Hi Team Mission Slimpossible! Cool name. Thanks for welcoming me. I am 59 and 10 months old, married to a foodie and my weight although normal my whole life has steadily been creeping up. I went from 125 to 140 in the last 2 years and would like to get back to where I was but I can't seem to get there. I exercise most days and try to eat healthy but it seems I can only lose weight if I go down to 800 calories which I can not maintain. Looking forward to some insight and support.3

@trooworld I can't sleep in either, I'm not up quite as early as you though, 5 AM is my max of time. When I stay up late, like last night, I'm dragging my heels. Glad you didn't have a busy day on top of no sleep.
@TeresaW2024 I agree with you about being consistent with exercise. What is a BER month? It sounds like you had a really great month!
Last night I couldn't fall asleep until 2:30 AM and then of course I was up at five. It's so annoying! I have been kind of dragging my heels all day. I did take my dogs out to that far again this morning to try to wear them out, so I wouldn't have to do so much walking with them today lol. I did track all day and managed to stay on track without exercise points :-). I am so stiff from that workout I did on Thursday, I am struggling today. I really didn't think I pushed myself that hard, but I have just been off schedule this whole summer. It is only 8:15 PM here and I am having a hard time staying awake.
Hope everybody had a great Saturday1 -
WEIGH IN UPDATE
PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW: @bethanie0825 @Digger61 @annachangesagain
Reminder To Weigh in Tomorrow To The Following:@bhagatcaroline @baodell17724 @19shmoo69 @megnolia82 @sleepygirl79 @txcritter69 @laurelfit57 @littlebabekitty
Making the month and spreadsheet swap to a new one tomorrow, always kind of sad as it's the end of the month but I look forward to the new month too. Have a great Sunday! My roommate's gone but he said he lost his key so that has me on edge, I'm getting help rekeying the doors Monday and I'm planning to be home as much as possible until then (have dinner at a neighbor's and the farm Monday morning). I feel a little guilty but it was definitely the right decision for me and my cats, my cats have been hiding in my room lately. He cleaned up well but threw away most of his belongings then left a Bible and a special necklace on a shelf in his closet, I'm guessing there's significance in that if nothing else to contact me for later. I checked his window and it wasn't latched but looked like it was so that has me suspicious too especially as he came back because he forgot his bike lock. I'll definitely be more relaxed once the doors are taken care of! Will catch up more tomorrow, take care friends.2 -

@baodell17724 - I like HAS Fit on YouTube for strength. They have a good variety of stuff to choose from and form is important to them.
@laurelfit57- I love all you dog pictures. Especially the ones where Ty was sliding down a hill. I forget how old Ty is, but Gus really began to settle down between 18 months and 2. I haven't had a puppy in so long, I forgot how challenging it can be. I hope the same is true for Ty.
Life is quiet around here. Did some cleaning and laundry yesterday. I did all my PT exercises, which takes around 30 min, walked 2 miles, then did 30 min of step. My hip did quite well. I'm so happy that I'm putting my routine back together. It's time to get losing again!
I'm reading an interesting book called Cloud Cuckoo Land. Anyone reading anything good right now?

@baodell17724 I haven’t watched your guilty pleasure and will have to check it out!
@laurelfit57 All the months that end in BER. Those are the best months of all! Maybe not for you since you have to deal with lots of snow and ice, but here in Georgia, they are the best months of the year! I hope you get some rest tonight.
@Katmary71 I’m glad the roommate is gone, and I will also be happy when your locks are changed. I’m saying a prayer right now for your protection.
Good morning, and happy September!!! I’m so happy that summer is almost over. I just looked at our ten-day forecast, and after today, we are dropping down to the 80s, and there are even two days next week in the high 70s. Woot!! I’m excited to keep on working hard this month toward my health goals. I plan to continue pushing myself in my workouts, keep the snacks out of my mouth, eat more whole foods, practice gratitude, and be happy. In a podcast the other day, Jason Seib talked about happiness and gave a formula for it: Happiness = Reality - Expectations. I find this incredibly profound! Anyway, I gotta get Joe up and get us to church on time!
My Beachbody coach posted this cool tracker that I thought some of you might enjoy using this month.
