Speaker 2: Three Connell Show Podcast.
Speaker 1: There's always something in our lives we can use to
Speaker 1: try and stop us going towards the dancers too much,
Speaker 1: especially as we enter another lockdown weekend and we can't
Speaker 1: be doing the things that we want to do, and
Speaker 1: you're miss making plans. And I've had emails this week
Speaker 1: from people who'd there's a poor couple listened to this
Speaker 1: show that have moved.
Speaker 2: Their wedding three times.
Speaker 1: And then you led it to this weekend because obviously
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago that looked like a surefire
Speaker 1: shoe in the world was opening up, especially for us
Speaker 1: in Melbourne, and then suddenly last week happened really really,
Speaker 1: really quickly, and we're this is the third time they're
Speaker 1: having to move their wedding and there you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's so hard for these couple. Yeah, my sister in
Speaker 1: law ended up just getting married in a civil ceremony
Speaker 1: because they were doing the same thing, kept pushing it back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so our heart goes out to people who are having
Speaker 1: it tough right now, but hopefully on the show each morning,
Speaker 1: we're trying to give you a little bit of cheer,
Speaker 1: and right now we're trying to do that, trying to
Speaker 1: find something in your life you can use as good
Speaker 1: news that actually you're grateful for. Before we go to lines,

Speaker 2: of years.

Speaker 1: a big TV show here. I just found out Josephine
Speaker 1: is now on Australian Sisters and well done.
Speaker 2: I'm jealous.
Speaker 1: Also got your Visor vaccine and you won your first
Speaker 1: research grant, all in the same week.
Speaker 2: You're having an amazing week, Judy.
Speaker 1: My daughter got a driver's license yesterday so I can
Speaker 1: retire as a chauffeur.
Speaker 2: So I look forward to that, Judy. Craig, this is amazing. Craig.
Speaker 1: I hope you're recovering well. Listen to us right now
Speaker 1: in hospital. Had a massive heart tent last weekend. Stent
Speaker 1: put in today and he feels fantastic. Craig, I hope
Speaker 1: you are right, buddy. That's amazing news. Michelle has started
Speaker 1: a zumba online classes again.
Speaker 2: Yes it was. I saw my wife yesterday. I came home.
Speaker 1: She was doing the downward Dog. She was back to
Speaker 1: doing those yoga classes online. You know we all started
Speaker 1: that last year yoga one session online.
Speaker 2: Yoga, Debbie.
Speaker 1: The kid's good news is that I've decided to get
Speaker 1: takeaway tonight pizza instead of cooked dinner.
Speaker 2: And Shaye, my.
Speaker 1: Woolies delivery came yesterday with an additional box of crumbed fish.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go into lines. John, Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2: Are we we're good? John? And what's your good news?
Speaker 6: Mate?
Speaker 5: Well? My good news is it just over the past Inansisco,
Speaker 5: in wag So I've managed to lose eighteen kilos.
Speaker 2: That is good news. That's good news. You ever a
Speaker 2: kilo a week? What have you been doing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: Are you? Well? Look, it's just basically very very carefully,
Speaker 5: you know, just going for long walks, really watching, but
Speaker 5: most importantly it's watching when you eat, and just practicing
Speaker 5: lots of mindfulness, you know, just some relaxation. And look,
Speaker 5: the reason I have to do it is because you know,
Speaker 5: I was nearly tipped the triple figures to one hundred
Speaker 5: kilos and I mainly fight for nine. So it's not
Speaker 5: a good look and it's really not good for your health.
Speaker 5: So I decided to really make a stand against these
Speaker 5: lockdowns on a personal level. And so I'm not going
Speaker 5: to allow myself to, you know, get to that point.
Speaker 5: I mean, I also, I mean, I'm a high school
Speaker 5: teacher and I have to sort of teach remotely at
Speaker 5: the moment, I'm sitting down all day on that team's
Speaker 5: app and teaching and preparing and it's tough. So I
Speaker 5: mean when you listen to other people's problems, I mean
Speaker 5: believing my mine is mind puzzan in comparison compet to
Speaker 5: some other people's problems. But I just sort of want
Speaker 5: to share that good news.
Speaker 1: That is great news, that's inspirational for people. Mate, Well done,
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel better?
Speaker 5: Oh look, it's amazing. The really good part about it
Speaker 5: is I can actually I've got all my clothes back.
Speaker 5: I mean, I got all these clothes without having to
Speaker 5: have to spend spend a cent on buying new clothes.
Speaker 5: So that's a really good part, you know.
Speaker 2: And do you have a target you're going to keep
Speaker 2: going or have you reached?
Speaker 5: You probably probably just have a couple of kilos and
Speaker 5: that's about it. I sort of just kept that maintenance,
Speaker 5: sort of like I tend to float between, you know,
Speaker 5: float between between a couple of kilos. And then the
Speaker 5: good part about is, you know, you give yourself permission
Speaker 5: to sort of you know, have the occasion little splurge
Speaker 5: and you know not and not you know, deny yourself
Speaker 5: totally because otherwise you end up going bonkers over that
Speaker 5: sort of thing, you know, But yeah, it's been great,
Speaker 5: like so fantastic. My two boys really appreciate it as well.
Speaker 2: I bet all right, well done.
Speaker 5: John, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I had a great day and you Tracy. Good morning Tracy.

Speaker 4: the hospital to support them, and they're only allowed in
