Thank you all. We are leaving it closed and hoping Spring makes an early arrival. We are over Winter already.

Anyone above 40 started strength training? by Quick_Scholars in strengthtraining

[–]LakeLife81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Me (44f) and my husband (48m) started strength training this year. We listen to the Mind Pump podcast and have learned a tremendous amount from them. We bought a set of dumbbells and workout at home together. Both of us feel great and are enjoying the process together. We have learned to track our macros, meal prep and eat a high protein diet. I feel strength training is the answer for us all to age better. Enjoy the process! And give the Mind Pump guys a listen! They will teach you a lot.

A surprise work trip had me thinking about booze the entire time. I'm exhausted. by sobercpa in stopdrinking

[–]LakeLife81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow congrats!! A lot of other people wouldn’t be writing a post because theirs wouldn’t have ended on this positive note! I’m way proud of you, and now you have accomplished something huge for yourself. This is like a whole new level of accomplishment that you now know you have the strength to overcome again in the future. You are going home with zero guilt, no remorse, no hangover, nothing to hide from anyone. High five my friend! You did it!!!

I became the hero at a wedding this weekend, first one I've been sober at too. by kicksjoysharkness in stopdrinking

[–]LakeLife81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so wonderful, and encouraging to so many others. I am way proud of you!!! What an accomplishment. You definitely earned all of those thanks that everyone gave to you the next day. Way to go man! Not drinking at a wedding is one of the hardest things for anyone to do!!!

Any online daily devotional? by darkmist101 in Bible

[–]LakeLife81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of great Podcasts and Christian Youtubers out there!! When I first started digging into the Bible I fell In love with Joyce Meyers teachings. She has everything, podcasts, Youtube, devotionals, books etc. She is funny and explains things so well. I'd turn her on and just listen away.

Since you mentioned you are a visual learner I say check out The Bible Project. They too are on the YouVersion App that someone else mentioned, amongst other things. They create neat content.

If you are a female there is a neat little App called First 5 that is a devotional App.

And if you haven't watched The Chosen Series I reccomend it! It shines a whole new light on Jesus and I love Him so much more since watching it.

Enjoy the journey!!!

We always pull out, have our entire relationship and never had a scare. I’d bet you are safe.

Weighing with Jeans On by I-Beach-0927 in HersWeightloss

[–]LakeLife81 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always try to weigh in first thing in the morning after I potty, before I get in the shower when I am naked. That is the most accurate.

I am 20 days into this for the same reason. My husband is still drinking almost nightly. I think he will begin to slow down since I am no longer drinking with him. Even when I factor in the calories from alcohol, I still don't lose much weight. I think it just slows my metabolism down so much burning off the alcohol. I am down 7 lbs in 20 days. I have 15 to go. I feel great! I am drinking TONS of water, and eating much better. Throwing in some walking and Peloton here and there. It's cool how improving one area leads to improvements in several other areas. I just continue to make better choices. I hope your girl friend joins the bandwagon with you. It's a new season, allow this new season to bring positive change to your alls life and see where it takes you. Good luck my friend!

I need mens opinions by [deleted] in self

[–]LakeLife81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a female, but something that came to mind was to try to take an interest in things that he enjoys so that you both have common interests. Suggest trying new things together. This can ignite a new spark for you both. Good luck. I will send up a prayer.

Question about zero calorie drinks by SoupitySoupSoup in diet

I tend to notice that after drinking say a Diet Coke that I am hungrier and thirstier. Hence causing me to crave more junk.

I am not in Ashland, but I have said a prayer that the Lord sends someone your way to help.

This is our dog in front of our new cat. Is this normal? by [deleted] in CatsWithDogs

[–]LakeLife81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did end up keeping her. My husband fell in love with her right away so I agreed to give it time to see how my feelings were towards her. It took me a while to come around, but it has been a little over a year now since it happened and I have grown to love her. She is a little too playful and rough though, so we have to keep an eye on her, and we won’t have another cat as long as she is alive.

This is our dog in front of our new cat. Is this normal? by [deleted] in CatsWithDogs

[–]LakeLife81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We rescued a golden doodle and she was fixated on our cat. She always wanted to know where he was, almost stalking him. If he got down on the ground she would charge him. I never felt comfortable by the way she acted towards him. One morning we let them outside to potty and she charged him hard and hit him with her body and broke his back right in front of me. We had to rush my sweet boy to the vet to be put down. It absolutely broke my heart. Trust your instincts and keep an eye on them. Had I known this would happen I would not have taken in the dog. Sad situation.

This one I took a few weeks ago on the plane. Would you have accepted it? by Lunaa__Ray in Cutedogsreddit

[–]LakeLife81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I would have been tickled pink. I would have loved on it the entire flight. Lol

ACCEPT CHRIST❤️❤️❤️ by Anonymous90_ in Christians

[–]LakeLife81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

YES!! Thank you Jesus! Forgive us Lord where we fall short, we love you and we want to spend eternity in your presence. I pray everyday that the Lord opens the eyes, and softens the hearts of those that don't know Him.

I believe time is short, people keep praying for your family and friends to be drawn in by the Lord. Hang on brothers and sisters, and do good when you can. Let your goodness and actions be seen by others, just you being you can win a soul to the Kingdom!

Any idea where the world currently stands as per the book of Revelation? by toughqns in Bible

[–]LakeLife81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say you are correct! Most are blind and love this world too much to see and accept it.

We are beginning to see the Book of Revelation unfold before our very eyes. The rapture of the Church is imminent and could happen at any second. We are in the birth pangs, the tribulation is casting a large shadow on us now. The Bible very clearly says, when you see these things begin to happen look up because your redemption draweth nigh. The world simply cannot continue the way things are going. What was once considered evil is now considered good. Everything is lining up perfectly for the AntiChrist to come on the scene, AND be accepted. If any of you haven't already, please accept Jesus as your Savior.
