    I really did not Formy!

    It was decided today is a day of rest. My back just hurts too much and I don't want to risk further and more serious injury. We will see how it feels tomorrow. All of the cleaning will eventually get done, it'll just take longer!

    Cleaning is a dangerous profession: did you know cleaners and housewives and househusbands suffered more accidents than stunt doubles and chainsaw jugglers?

    Day 1 update: Not so good. I got most of the cleaning done to the office minus the mopping, and I did one of two closets in the hallway. I found some clothes we hadn't unpacked yet in the office that sadly won't fit me anymore. But I figured it might be a good motivator to make sure I exercise!

    But then I threw my back out. Badly. In a lot of pain. So if I don't feel better tomorrow, my mega-week of cleaning is going to turn in to two weeks. Better to take longer and do its safely!

    I think you feel disconnected with what is popular now, but not with music in general. That eventually happens to everyone at some point (at least from my observations.) That's nothing to feel bad over.

    So instead of just listening to the top 40 on the radio, maybe you should try going on a musical journey. That's what I do. I'll go to someplace like Slacker, Spotify, YouTube, etc. and start off with bands and songs I know that I like. Then I'll try some of their suggestions. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not, but I have picked up some new groups that I really like this way.

    They're like stinky jumping hairy noodles.

    Haha I'd seen that! There was also a woman who commented that her husband calls them stinky slinkies which had me laughing pretty hard

    Oh man I did too. I haven't restarted it exactly but I have been walk/jogging and using the machines at the gym. That program is really intense though.

    Thanks guys

    I feel more jiggly if anything, but I might just be looking for it. My endurance has gone up!

    So My mom has been out of town for over a month and I saw her yesterday. I'm in the same boat as my weight hasn't budged but I feel stronger. She commented that I do look firmer and "less jiggly" lol So you may be losing fat but building more dense muscle so your weight hasn't shifted. You may be looking firmer.

    Just keep at it! Rome wasn't built in a day, as the saying goes.

    Just keep doing what you can - you'll get there!

    I also recently learned we often have a twisted perception of our bodies. You may think you're fat and taking up space, but other people may simply not notice that. I always thought I'm kinda small, even though objectively I'm a pretty big guy.

    That makes sense!

    But you know, when you look at the critic reviews, they're not really scathing or anything. Mostly they just tell you the games are really niche and should appeal to fans of the genre. So critics are kinda trying to evaluate the games against the whole gaming market, while fans are raving about it since they're fans of the genre and the game delivers everything they expect.

    Good stuff! I love stuff like this and the 365 things in 365 days challenge. I might start one of these as well.

    I can't imagine my life without pop music. I love it

    I just like listening to barbershop quartets and choirs at the moment, so I'm not sure I'll ever be able to feel in touch with the hip new music out now. It's never particularly bothered me, though it does feel weird to not recognize names of bands that pop up on occasion.
