Free Android App of the Day – Router

Free Android App of the Day – Router

Product Description

Test your mental might with Router, a circuit puzzle game that’s fun for the whole family. Your goal is to connect identically colored points with continuous lines without any of the lines overlapping each other. Game controls are easy to master, but some of the puzzles will have you quite perplexed until you find the right solution to connect the dots. With multiple challenging chapters to solve and engaging game-play features, Router is a winner for puzzle lovers.

Puzzle-solving, brain-teasing entertainment
Nine Challenging Chapters
Router features nine different chapters, each full of more than a dozen puzzles that increase in difficulty as you progress. In each puzzle, you will connect the similarly colored dots with continuous lines by tracing your finger on the screen. More advanced levels will present you with more dots in new and unique positions. You will earn more points for making shorter connections. An undo button is provided if you make a mistake.

As you would expect, Chapter 1 starts off easy enough, but the difficulty soon picks up. Each subsequent chapter will require increased intellectual dexterity. Once you hit Chapter 3, you will be required to earn enough points in prior chapters to unlock more.

Earn Bonus Points; Get Hints
If your mental acuity is up to the task, you’ll be able to solve each puzzle with a perfect five-star score. For your efforts, you will be rewarded with a Star Point, which you can spend to gain Hints if you find yourself stuck in subsequent puzzles. With a worldwide leaderboard, you can see how your scores stack up with other players from around the globe.

Electrifying Graphics and Smooth Controls
Router brings you hours of brain-teasing fun along with smooth touch controls, which makes for a completely satisfying puzzling experience. Depending on your device, you can adjust the quality of the graphics as well as the sound volume and other game settings to ensure it suits your preferences.

What are you waiting for? Get puzzling!

Nutrisysem Journey -Week 2 Results

Nutrisysem Journey -Week 2 Results

We just finished week 2 on Nutrisystem.  This week was a really good week for weight loss for both of us. I was a bit nervous about my weight loss since I was sick a large part of the week with a cold. I was not sure what was going to happen when I stepped on the scale. I was really happy that I lost 4.9 pounds this week. I am very proud of myself that I did not fall back on my favorite “sick” foods. In the past when I have not felt good I have picked up frozen pizza and ice cream to comfort me while not feeling good. This week I stuck with the plan and did not fall into my comfort foods.  I will fully admit I thought about my comfort foods but then I thought about a quote I saw on Pinterest this week and had to remind myself – Don’t Use Your Stomach as a Trash Can. When I started thinking about my stomach as a trash can the food really did not sound that good.

  We went to a Luau party last night and I made a dessert and a fruit platter for the event. I was so proud of myself for working with a package of cookies and icing and not eating a single one. Instead I put together a fun fruit platter. I was able to have a plate of fruit and still sit down and eat with everyone without feeling like I was missing out.  John ate before we left the house and made sure to bring a Nutrisystem snack with him. Both of us stayed away from the large buffet table of food and felt really good about it. I have to say the feeling of accomplishment from not eating the food felt amazing.

Results

Tammilee – Lost 4.9 pounds / total lost -7.5 pounds
John  - Lost 4.7 Pounds / total lost – 15.7 pounds

Accomplishments

-Went to 2 dinner parties and did not gorge on food

-Did not splurge on comfort food when sick this week

-John worked out 4 times

Goals for Week 3

-Increase exercise to follow the My Daily 3 Plan
(a minimum of 3 ten minute workouts)

-Increase vegetable consumption

 -Make smart decisions while eating out with friends this week.

Favorite foods this week

Tammilee Favorites

-Granola Cereal – I love having this breakfast with fresh fruit

-Fettuccine Alfredo – This is a really filling lunch. I love the flavor of it

-Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes – I can’t wait to have this again.

John’s Favorite Foods

-Veggie Omelette

-Cajun style chicken and sausage dinner

-Popcorn – I am pretty sure John would eat a bag of popcorn nightly he likes it so much.

We are so excited for this journey! We are taking each day a step at a time but look forward to looking back in a few months and seeing how much we have accomplished. We are both focused and excited for this to work.
