Shout out to my little tall sister : Happy Birthday!
Why do babies/toddlers love cell phones and remote controls? But not happy if we give them their own. Loves being like us and doing what we do I guess.
The MN Twins are officially winners of their division of the American League. Yay!
Wearing what toddlers wear would be fun, comfortable, and colorful. Probably conversation starters sometimes too.
I like cool weather better than hot weather. I can put more on but there is only so much I can take off.
Until next time...

Friday's Feast: Popcorn
I really love popcorn. Especially from a movie theater. I can eat a large bucket if I'm hungry. I guess I haven't actually done this so maybe I just think I can. Probably better I don't try! :)
I made some popcorn in our air popper today. I like lots of butter and salt. However, I kinda overdid it with the butter today. ugghh! If you pick up popcorn from the bottom of the bowl and it is dripping I would say that is a problem. There is 3/4 of the bowl of popcorn left. I think I will pop more to mix with it. Maybe that will help.
Too bad I don't have any m & ms to add to it...that would per-fect it!
But popcorn is a fun thing because everybody likes it. That is probably the only people food we intentionally give a few pieces to our dog. And Emma had some (one of the top ten choking hazards for toddlers) at someone else's house the other day so she is hooked on it too. She does well with it though. Thank the Lord!

Thursday Review: Weight Loss Programs
I'm not currently on an official weight loss program right now. I have tried many.
Weight Watchers: I tried the point system. It worked great. It was something that I could "see". I was allotted my points according to weight and height. I think I gained points when I exercised too. I liked the weekly weigh-ins and encouraging meetings. The first week family was in town and we ate out almost every day. I looked up the restaurants' menus and calories, etc. I ate disciplined and enjoyed the food. I actually lost weight even though I ate out lots that first week. You can buy their food from the grocery store. I didn't like having to pay for meetings, etc.
Jenny Craig: I loved the food. It was expensive though and could only buy it from them. Plus, you had to buy fresh fruit and vegetables and some snacks. It was nice to have a weekly weigh-in and one-on-one time with a consultant. I lost weight but couldn't keep up with paying for the program and the food.
Adkins Diet: I loved being able to eat a lot of meat, eggs, and fat. And some veggies of course. And water. The first while it was hard not to eat any bread or sugar, etc. but got over it. I lost most of my weight and kept it off from this way of eating. I didn't have chronic heartburn anymore. I had more energy. But things happened in my life that I didn't continue and went back to eating anything.
Recently there was a study that came out that studied people over 20 years. Some on a low fat diet and some on a low carb diet. I think weight loss was the same, keeping it off, etc. But cholesterol was lower in the low carb people in the long run. Did you know that it never has been proven that a low fat diet lowers cholesterol...it is just accepted as fact. And doctors have developed these low carb diets. Interesting.
Everything in moderation I say. Plus, exercise. And lots of prayer.

Random Wednesday: Interesting Words
Misspelled words I have seen today:
"baught" instead of "bought"
"refraise" instead of "rephrase"
Yes, these were spelled by adults. And I know spelling isn't everyone's strong area. At least they are phonetic!
