Top Ten Tuesday: Phone Apps

Happy Tuesday!!!



And Happy July, yup we are now officially more than half way done with the year!!

July is my favorite month though, mainly because of my Birthday in 13 days lol.

Okay, so this Tuesday I have linked up with my best Nanci for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday, make sure you check out her post on her favorites too, there are some really good ones!!

This Tuesday we are talking about our favorite Apps on the phones!

First off how did we live with out apps on our phones. They are pretty awesome and keep us entertained and at times making our lives so much easier. I am on my phone a HUGE part of the day, checking things, working for it, etc, some say its an obsession well it is just a way of life now.

So Here are my favorite apps on my phone right now...

1. My Fitness Pal

-I use this to track my calories, meals, food intake, weight, macros and you can also follow other friends too. The best part you can see what they are eating and how they are progressing. I love when I can look into the food diary because I get some really great ideas for snacks and meal ideas. Plus it is super motivating. I have been tracking my food for almost a year now and it has really helped keep me track with my weight and continuing on with a healthy lifestyle.

2. FitBit

-I love my FitBit A LOT. It keeps me motivated and determined to get my 10,000 steps each day. The app shows how many calories I have burned, my heart rate, exercise days I have tracked, the floors I have climbed, miles I have covered, of course my steps. It always tracks your sleeping pattern, which is my favorite. Tracks how long I have slept for, when I woke up, when I was restless and so on. You can track food on the app too and your water intake. I absolutely LOVE the FITBIT app because you can set up challenges too. You and 10 friends can create a challenge and try to beat each in steps for the day, the week, the week and see who can hit 10,000 first in the day. I have had so many motivating moments with the challenges through the app.

3. Facebook

-It is funny how much evolved FB has gotten. When I first was on FB you had to have a college email to sign up, now everyone is on FB. But FB has so much more to it now, with Live notifications and group settings, it really is amazing. I have FB for myself, the Blog and a Group for my book club. Check them all out FB Page Runchewsparkle and our Group A Novel Bunch.

4. Instagram

-Probably my most used APP. I love to share pictures and look and find others. And when you click on the hashtags you can find even more people that way. I love Instagram and all it has.

5. Snapchat

- I am still so new to the Snapchat world and it is so much fun. Posting videos or pictures. And the filters with it are even better...



6. GoodReads

-I love this app because I can track books I have read, set up a reading challenge and see what friends of mine are reading. You can rate books too, get reviews and sometimes even speak with authors. I have looked at what my friends have been reading and got great recommendations. If you love to read, download this app.

7. Blogger

- I can write a blog post when I can not be at my computer, which I have been known to do especially when I am on the bike at the gym or walking, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

8. DD Perks

-Yup this is the Dunkin Donuts App. I can load my DD card, earn points and free Coffee. NEED I SAY MORE ;0)

9. TimeHop

- I love the TimeHop app and look at it every day. It takes posts I have shared from the previous years, sometimes as far back as 8 years. Shows what I have posted such as posts, pictures, videos, etc from Twitter, FB and Instagram. I have found some awesome memories with the app.

10. Endomono

-This app is how I track my runs. It gives me distance, time, and all lot more. I use it on all my runs and link it to My Fitness Pal and it tracks my exercise calories...



Its easy to use and I never lose my GPS signal with it.

Okay and a quick few honorable mentions...
Starbucks, Pinterest, Target Cartwheel, Word Swag, LYFT or Uber, iHeartRadio, POP (pinellas county library app-awesome) & Twitter.

Apps have definitely changed our phone experience and lives. Every store now seems to have an app and when downloading those Apps you can get execlusive discounts, codes and Even FREE items such as drinks and food.

So what are your favorite apps???

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
