#347 Good Morning Sunday, July 16, 2017

Hello World,

Still retired.  Still enjoying it!  Coloring a lot. I can’t find this one on the app:

But I’d love to finish it.  I think I can “search” for it.  I’ll try that later.  Anyway, I have a bunch of gel pens left from Sisters By The Sea and I’ve been using them.  Last night I sat in my electric chair and colored while listening to 20/20.  I love this little coloring book.  I’m not sure if this will show the “sparkling” effect of the gel pens:

The Picture doesn’t show the “sparkles” as well as it looks.  Eventually I’ll have most of these pictures colored.  I love it that I can hold it in my hand and color while lieing down on the couch with colored pencils and now I’m sitting at the dining room table and coloring with the gel pens.  They work better “upright”.  I ordered another “bound” coloring book from Amazon and I should get it today according to my email.  Anyway, this is such a great “pass time” so that I can be “creative” and enjoy the final product.  The app is pretty cool too.  All you have to do is “touch” the space and the color fills in by itself and there is not “going out of the lines”.  For someone like me who is OCD it is really fulfilling!  I love coloring on my phone while waiting for a meeting to start or on my iPad when lieing on the couch.  I love my iPad too.  I have so many electronic gadgets.  2 laptops (this one and the District 20 one), 2 Kindles (Kindle Fire and Kindle Paper White), one ASUS Notebook that allows touch screen and the screen comes off like a tablet, my iPhone which is an amazing computer in itself and my iPad.  Too many things, but I use them all but my Kindle Paper White.  But I may take it to Yellowstone with me because it can be seen outside the best and it is really little (can be held in one hand).  I think when I go to Yellowstone, I may only take my iPad, phone and Kindle Paper White.  Still deciding about taking this one with me.  But I may want to “blog” from out there, so I might bring this one with me.  We’ll see.

So did I mention that I joined Weight Watchers again?  I’ve been in it for 4 weeks and I’ve lost 5 pounds.  I like it better than the LCLF diet by Diet Doctor and “Wheat Belly” by Dr. Davis.  I didn’t have any luck with those two things.  I’m still not eating bread (although I may start eating those whole wheat sandwich rounds).  I still love sandwiches.  But WW is a way for me to eat less but there are things I can eat with “no points”  like bing cherries, radishes, lettuce, other veggies.  I can eat a “ton” of it and I don’t take away points.  I have 30 points a day and the app on my phone tracks it.  When I did WW at work, the app had not been designed.  This app is so cool:

It shows that at my last weigh in, I had lost 6.4 pounds total.  I got a “Bravo” for that because I got over 5 pounds.  This is what the app looks like when you log in on the phone:

This app is so cool.  It is showing that I’ve used 3 points so far for the Greek Yogurt I had this morning.  This Yogurt is not that great.  It’s OIKAS and it isn’t as good as Dannon and it is 1 more point.  I have 3 more to eat, but I won’t get that brand ever again – plus it doesn’t taste like “Caramel/Salt” like advertised.  I got the 80 Calorie Dannon Lite yogurt which is only 2 points and it takes the place of the yogurt I used to buy at Walmart that was 7 points – WOW!  I think it has to do with the “sugar” content.  So now I’m also eating “smart ones” again.  They range in points from 6 to 8 – but that is for an entire dinner meal.  I’ve even got the WW Egg and Sausage Biscuit.  That is 6 points which is a lot for breakfast, but it’s a nice change of pace.  WW makes Ice Cream Bars too.  They are 4 points so I like to try to save points for after dinner when I can have an Ice Cream Bar.  It’s just great and it’s keeping me away from “cookies” at church and the Cookie Meeting.  Oh and also, they make little “gummies” that are only 1 point for 8.  I eat them in the car when I drive.  But my gum is “0” points which is even better.

I’m going to sign off for now.  Time to go to church and I want to ride BB so I better get going.  Thanks for visiting.  I may come back to this later……we’ll see.  I want to vent about my computer “issues” too!
