Book Journey hosts a great Meme although it's called "It's Monday" which is just... well, too bad. (Monday, I mean. Book Journey's awesome.)
I am finishing Replication and starting The Giver - I'm starting the review for one in my head and thinking of the next one already, which means 3/4 way thru-ish.
It is Monday, so I have a LOT to do today, so we'll see how much "fun" progress I actually make.As for Musing (by Should Be Reading)...
Did you do any reading in lieu of watching the football game, yesterday, or were you foregoing reading to watch the game?
I didn't read too much yesterday. I watched the Superbowl and boo-ed the Patriots* and caught every commercial. Of course!! jajajajajaja
Which commercial was your favorite? (if you watched)
As a family, our vote was the M&M commercial... Did you see it? We were laughing so hard and everyone had to try out the naked chocolate dance. Hilarious.
(Here's the video - go ahead, try out the Naked M&M dance this Monday morning!)
We liked the Apocolyptic Chevy one as a close second. The Twinkies were totally perfect.**
I didn't read so much, but I found a cool Ap for my Nook called Lose It! I punch in what I eat and it tallies my calorie count. I got tired of counting our calorie count on the handy paper at least two weeks ago***. This Lose It! remembers my food choices, too, so as I get bored again with keeping track all my snacking, it'll make it easier to keep going.
It's very helpful. I guess I'm not maintaining that 500 cal/day goal, which explains the slower weight loss of the past week.

| SuperBowl snack spread - healthy style! |
On the bright side... I whipped up a SuperBowl snack spread that didn't toss the diet out the window!! Tell me this isn't totally cute and delicious lookin'!! Plus I had "hot wings" (not shown) made with chicken breast and blended tomatoes with my special blend of hot spices and stevia sweetener. Yum!!

| Strawberry Sorbet in the ice cream maker Strawberries + frozen Banana + Sweetener |
I had to run to the store for more strawberries, the Sorbet was such a big hit. It was 1/2 hour before the game started and the WHOLE WORLD was running to the store for last minute snacks. I could hardly find parking. At least all the check stands were open!^
* Because the Patriots beat my team, the Rams.# So logically I had to cheer on the Giants, which irritated Cool, Man, whose team forever is the Packers## who lost to the Giants a few weeks back causing us to have a Very Bad Weekend. The game is always funner if we're picking opposite sides, anyway.
# As a new wife, I had to pick a team in my enthusiastic support of all things husbandy and I watched the pre-season games carefully and decided the Rams would make it to the Superbowl, which they won that year###, and per my Cool, Man, I must stick with my team forever and the Patriots beat them so I don't like 'em forever.
## He is "cool".
### I am good!
** Wait a minute... do I sense a FOOD theme?!?!
*** Anything very systematic gets boring to me quickly and I "forget" to keep it up.
^ It makes me feel like one of a flock of birds to be doing the same thing as everyone else at the same time, you know? Tweet - Tweet!!
