Movies, Kickstart and Products.....

First allow me to update my horror movie watching:

Phantasm: an oldie and after this watch I realized, despite being a cult classic, isn't really that good.

Sinister: whenever someone asks me to recommend a horror movie - this tops my list.  It's dark, it's creepy and it's got a lawn mower scene that'll jump you out of your skin (even at rewatches and you're expecting it).

The Dark and the Wicked:  this one is creepy and has some great scenes that will keep you guessing; but.....the ending ruins it.  So sad for a movie that had so much potential.

Vicious: this is a new one out on Paramount+ and it's pretty good.  There is a scene that is very hard to watch and you kind of know how it will end; but you don't care that it ends that way.

Shapa has had me back and forth between teal and green; and I'm okay with that.  I haven't been perfect with all my commitments; but Kickstart isn't about perfection; it's about working to set healthy habits.  So I do feel good with my Kickstart progress so far.

A while back I did a product review on Protein Pastry by Legendary that resembles a pop-tart.  I wasn't fond of them and expressing that view gave me comments on posts such as:

Well you need to heat them up before eating them.  I did.

It says it's a pastry not a pop-tart; you shouldn't be expecting that.  Well then it shouldn't look like a pop-tart; and pop-tarts are pastries as well, it says so on the box.

I just didn't like them and felt the cost doesn't make them worth it.  This week I was in a local grocery store and they had the following marked down on clearance for $4.99 which is half the normal cost:


Only this particular flavor was on clearance but at that price I thought I'd give them a try.  If I had had a choice, I definitely would of chosen a different flavor; but this gave me an opportunity to give them a try.  I've been pleasantly surprised.  This one comes in at 5 pts. but definitely hits that sweet craving spot.  I want to try the other flavors.  (I see from their website that the chocolate above is being replaced with another chocoate, that explains the clearance price).

So the pop-tart like ones were a fail for me, but the sweet rolls are a winner!
