To celebrate Chester Bennington's memory, I will be walking 50km between the 13th - 20th of July 2026.
Linkin Park had a huge influence on me growing up (as I'm sure they were for so many of us) and I even got to meet the band during their 2017 tour.
My goal is €50 to coincidence with that. If you could help me reach it, it would be much appreciated
I'm thinking of getting some songs moved to better suit my range, but I'm not sure how feasible it is.
My comfortable range is between A3 to G4, however, I can go up to C5, it's just not the best sounding. Using Black Magic by Little Mix as an example, it's lowest note is G3 and the highest is E5 (which is where their final chorus belts/adlibs mostly end up).
Could I lower just the chorus to have the highest note at G4 and keep the verses the same, or would it sound too weird for backing tracks?
I've adored Little Mix for years and I'd love to learn a couple of their songs by the end of 2027. I do have a list of 11/12 I'd like to learn.
One of the big problems though, is that there's only 1 of me and I'm pretty sure every song on this list + most of their discography is belting all the way through aside from the verses and I struggle with belting 😅 I've only been singing since September
Song list: Wings, Change Your Life, Salute, See Me Now, A Different Beat, Grown, Hair, SOTME, Joan of Arc, Wasabi, Woman Like Me, Sweet Melody
What would Mixers here recommend?
Two years ago I used to be able to walk an hour and a half everyday at a pretty good speed without feeling winded or horrible afterwards. I just tried to walk at 6kpm and only managed 3 minutes before my chest felt cold, my feet and shins hurt and I felt horribly out of breath. I'm so out of shape.
I know my weight is a problem, but I'm really struggling because I have an awful chocolate addiction on top of just not excercising as much. I had an overactive thyroid in late 2024 where my weight went from about 65kg to 58kg. Now in the past year my thyroid has come down to normal levels and I've gone from 64kg to nearly 80kg.
Big meals like lunch and dinner don't keep me full for that long - half the time it feels that within half an hour I'm hungry again, despite being full after eating. My chocolate cravings get worse in the evenings and whenever I'm home, I always reach for a chocolate bar rather than something better like cereal or just normal human food.
I don't like veggies or fruits except potatoes and grapes + 90% of the time, I just don't have the energy or will to cook proper food, I've rather just throw something easy into the oven for twenty minutes or find frozen ready meals from the shop. I have about 75 euros left after bills and I really don't know what to do. I just wish there was a pill that could make me fill full so I didn't eat nearly as much as I do.
I want to go back to 64kg, but I just don't have the disipline to do it.
