MOVIE REVIEW - "SNOW WHITE" - **SPOILERS**

 **Movie Reviews are my own opinion and may be different from yours.  All reviews contain spoilers, so read at your own risk**

Where to begin with this one?  I'm all about taking the old Disney cartoon movies and making them live action; but can we just do that????

Snow White is the classic tale of a young princess, hated by an evil step mother, who finds her prince.  Pretty simple, huh? Not in this day and age.

Snow White isn't a damsel in distress here - she doesn't even find a real prince (oh she finds true love, just with a commoner) - after all this Snow White is a "I am woman, hear me roar".

Oh it has all the characters the original does, but it almost seems like they thought they had to have them.  The seven dwarfs were left out of the movie title because that would be offensive and at first, Disney thought it may be time to change the dwarves to something else or leave them out all together.  Good thing Disney realized they were a big part of the story! They CGI'd them....it was hard to tell them apart.  Dopey looked like Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman - and once you see that, you can't get passed it.

Disney seems to think that making Snow White not a damsel in distress; that she'll empower young female children.  You know what those young female children want? They want the fairy tale.  Stop spoon feeding them reality and let them be kids!

This movie just didn't flow as well as some of the others; it just didn't.

2 out of 5 stars.

On The Right Track

 So Shapa today has me in the Teal - which is great!

Still not feeling the greatest, I get tired quickly without really doing anything active.  Just sitting at my desk at work exhausts me.

I'm looking forward to Kickstart starting again, but there's a few weeks for that yet. If you're interested you can sign-up or get more information here:  KICKSTART, it's FREE to join.  If you want, you may purchase their journal for it: Kickstart Journal, but you do not need to...any journal or a plain notebook will do; you may find that you do not need any type of journal or notebook.

I hate to keep talking about Kickstart; but I do find it to be a useful tool.  It gives me some structure; which I'm missing from no longer having any meetings; it just keeps me on track.

I think I'm going to start to do some movie reviews on the blog.  I see a lot of movies, at least one a week, so I have lots of opinions!!

Back in the Gray

 Shapa put me in dark gray today.....that's the worst you can get.

Then I woke up feeling sick again.  Hubby has it again and passed it on to me. 

And, of course, the weather has started to be nicer and I've no energy to walk.

I always feel like I'm always going back to square one!  Why can't I get passed that?

I'm still looking forward to the next Kickstart which begins April 28th.  That's still a way off!

I just need to pull through this cold and keep trying.  Move towards getting Shapa to at least the light gray area.

Calories Finally!!

 This afternoon the calories finally appeared in my Weight Watchers app.  No update, it was just all of a sudden there!  So it is coming out; if you don't have it yet keep looking on the app down where the macros are listed (protein, carbs, etc) when you see the plus ( + ) sign, click it and you can add calories.  That area will let you add or delete what you want.  I kept calories and protein and deleted the others (they aren't deleted forever, you can always add them back).

So we'll see how it goes.  I'm resetting my start day to Fridays again.  I just always like having those weeklies for the weekend!

I am still using my Shapa scale and it has me maintaining in the green!

Where Are Those Calories!!!

I still don't have the calorie option on my WW app.  I've gotten several updates and none have brought me the only update I want!

It infuriates me!  I have never understood why, if I'm part of the beta group, I don't ever get any of the "new" things to test before everyone else?!  What's the point of beta? And, before you ask, yes I have left beta and downloaded the regular app only to still be met with no calorie option.

I do not understand how the app store can provide the update to some members and not others.  I don't understand! Now it seems that the update may not be out to all until mid-March.  Yes, I know, that's only another week or two.

I only rejoined WW because of this update.  When I used Healthi, that information was available, and it made a big difference in my weight journey.

A few posts back my Shapa scale had me in dark gray - the worst place to be.  Over the last week or so; it got me to light gray, green, teal and blue.  Today I'm in green, which is basically maintaining.  I can live with that!
