DEERC D10 Foldable Drone

The D10 is an extremely user-friendly drone.

We recently received this little foldable drone to test. Built to be easy to fly by even the newest of newbies, this Deerc D10 Foldable Drone is intended for anyone over the age of 14. Although, I believe that with its simple controls and features such as one key start/landing, altitude hold, headless mode, and speed adjustment, pre-teens could successfully fly this drone.

Having a drone that is so compact is convenient and the carry bag that DEERC has included is a huge bonus, As soon as we uploaded the app to our phone it was clear that they had taken previous user suggestions to heart. And, tried to provide users with a great experience. The first thing I checked out was the video tutorial and found it very informative. If you don’t have a smartphone, you can always have some fun using the included controller.

This drone comes with a camera integrated into the body. With just 720 pixels it doesn’t provide the sharp images that we get with our higher resolution drone cameras. However, at this price point, we believe that it meets the needs and expectations of most flyers.

The D20 is very lightweight and so is the controller. Without any substantial weight, this drone is not designed to be flown on windy days or taken up to higher altitudes where there can be strong winds. If you do it could easily be blown off course so keep a close eye on it. Coming in around 6 inches by 7 inches this little guy can easily fit into almost any pocket and go where ever the mood takes you. For such a small drone it sure is a scrappy little guy. With this drone, you can take the fun with you!

DEERC D20 Foldable Mini Drone

This little drone is a handful!

We also recently received this little mini drone to test. It is built to be fast and agile, this Deerc D20 Foldable Mini Drone is intended for anyone over the age of 14. The D20 is very lightweight and so is the controller. Without any substantial weight, this drone is not designed to be flown on windy days or taken up to higher altitudes where there can be strong winds. If you do it could easily be blown off course so keep a close eye on it. We had quite a bit of trouble flying this drone in our tree-filled yard. It definitely needs lots of open space.

While having a drone that is so compact is a bonus, the app needs some major improvements. You can always have some fun using the included controller so there is no need to leave the entertainment at home. Coming in around 7 inches by 5 inches this little guy can easily fit into almost any pocket and go where ever the mood takes you. For such a small drone it sure is a scrappy little guy. With this drone, you can take some fun with you!

We really wanted to love this drone but it just did not perform the way we wanted it to. That being said, if you have a place like a large open field or gymnasium to fly, this is an acceptable starter drone.

Weight Watchers Get Healthy Freestyle Journey – Week 16

Keep Moving

It’s time once again to reflect on the past week. Recently, we have looked at milestones, how to stay motivated, the smart use of free foods, some tactics for dining out, surviving the holidays while dieting, the benefits of a 5% weight loss, diabetes, the importance of exercise, starting an exercise routine, and beginner exercises. Last week I continued with my new exercise routine and went to visit my Mom and celebrate Mother’s Day with her and my children. Even on my WW Freestyle journey, I could enjoy a sweet treat and thanks to a very supportive family it wasn’t a day filled with temptation after temptation. This week my goal is to keep moving.

Keep Moving
Beginner Exercise Routine

Between week three and week four is the classic time when people quit their new resolutions. I am exercising not just for weight loss but for the health benefits that aren’t related to weight loss, like feeling more energized, happier, calmer, and experiencing better sleep. However, just because I know the importance of exercise doesn’t mean it’s always easy to stay motivated… I must keep telling my self that the more I move the easier it will be to keep moving. With this in mind, as I start the fourth week of my Beginner Exercise Routine, it’s time to start increasing the number of reps and the time I spend exercising during each session. 

  • 10 – 20 Stationary Lunges – New number 15 – 30
  • 20 Bodyweight Squats – New number 25
  • 20 Upper Body Pushes – New number 25
  • 10 – 20 Walking Lunges – New number 15 – 30
  • 10 – 20 One Arm Dumbbell Bent-Over Rows  – New number 15 – 30
  • 3 Ten-Second Planks – New number 5

? SELF LOVE ?
Do It for Yourself… Treat the fitness and health commitments you make for yourself like you would your job, family, and friendships. You wouldn’t let important people in your life who are counting on you down, so why do it to yourself?

If you hit snooze a few times one morning and skipped your early workout, find time to get it in later in the day.

How my freestyle weight loss week went:

With physical therapy at the VA and a sinus procedure for my aunt, this was another week of appointments and waiting rooms. However, I tried to keep up my new exercise routine. Not a perfect week but I did get some done. As if I didn’t have enough to keep me busy, we adopted a 3-week old kitten. That has been a huge learning experience! From feeding every few hours to the bathroom tasks it is a lot like having a newborn baby. I can’t believe so much noise and poop can come out of something so tiny. Even with the sleep deprivation, I did get my walks in and was able to do my new exercise routine a few times this week. 

Saturday and Sunday were spent at home. Wow, the weekend went by so fast. All too soon it was time to get on the scale for my weekly weigh-in. When I stepped on I saw that this week I had lost another pound this week and am averaging 1.9 pounds of weight loss per week. I didn’t gain this weight overnight and therefore slow and steady is the way to take it off for lasting results. Until next week… Remember to stay positive and keep looking forward.

Weight Watchers Get Healthy Freestyle Journey – Week 15

Mother’s Day

It’s time once again to reflect on the past week. Recently, we have looked at milestones, how to stay motivated, the smart use of free foods, some tactics for dining out, surviving the holidays while dieting, the benefits of a 5% weight loss, diabetes, the importance of exercise, starting an exercise routine, and last week beginner exercises. This week I will be visiting my Mom and celebrating Mother’s Day with her and my children on Sunday so I am writing about my WW Freestyle journey on Saturday night. I will still be venturing onto the scale for my weekly weigh in when I return home Sunday night. I haven’t mentioned it before but I really like the structure of having a set day to weigh. I find that I’m not obsessing all week about the scale by having a set day to do it.

Origins of Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the world. It’s origins go way back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. The American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908. Anna Jarvis had originally conceived of Mother’s Day as a day of personal celebration between mothers and families. Her version of the day involved wearing a white carnation as a badge and visiting one’s mother or attending church services.

It can also be traced in the UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated long before Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation in 1914 designating Mother’s Day to be held on the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers. In the United States, Mother’s Day continues to be celebrated by presenting mothers and other women with gifts and flowers. Some families also celebrate by giving mothers a day off from activities like cooking or other household chores.

No matter how you celebrate the important woman in your life, whether she be Mom, Grandma, Aunt, Sister, Friend, Mentor, or someone special who is like a Mom to you remember what all us mom’s want is…

For You to be Happy and Healthy!

Some Of My Favorite Mother’s Day Quotes:

The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. – Theodore Hesburgh

A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. – Cardinal Meymillod

If at first, you don’t succeed, try doing it the way mom told you to in the beginning. – Unknown

Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. – Erich Fromm

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all. – Oliver Wendell Holmes

Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. – Unknown

Mothers were meant to love us unconditionally, to understand our moments of stupidity, to reprimand us for lame excuses while yet acknowledging our point of view, to weep over our pain and failures as well as cry at our joy and successes, and to cheer us on despite countless start-overs. Heaven knows, no one else will. – Richelle E. Goodrich

? SELF LOVE ?
Give yourself the gift of your own joy and happiness for Mother’s Day. Make time for at least one thing you can do for yourself.

Cherish the moments you have with your Mom. Let her know how much you appreciate her.

How my freestyle weight loss week went:

With physical therapy, pain management specialist, lab work, and check-ups, this was another week of appointments and waiting rooms. However, Wednesday had been set aside for an oil change, my Mom and two aunts birthday lunch at the Golden Corral, and our monthly shopping trip. That was a busy and diet landmine filled day! Lunch at the restaurant was challenging. Not because of all the food but there was so little prepared in a healthy manner. Most of the items on the bar were either fried, smothered in cheese, loaded with carbs, or high fat. I know that they are catering to what the public wants and that the items offered are low cost to prepare but I was still shocked that the healthy choices were so few. I did fix myself a nice salad and manage to find some baked fish, veggies, and lima beans that didn’t have a whole lot of added fat on the bars. Of course, I had to have a piece of my favorite sweet. But only one and I cut it into six tiny squares to savor each small bite. After lunch, thank goodness, we had a full day of shopping to work off the square of fudge that I had for dessert.

I did accomplish my goal of three 10 minute walks in this week. Plus, I was able to do my new exercise routine a few times this week. Before beginning this journey I was to tired to do much more than this blog so I was proud that I was able to accomplish so much this week.

Sunday was spent at my parents’ house celebrating Mother’s Day. My youngest son cooked on the grill for everyone. All too soon it was Sunday evening and  I got on the scale for my weekly weigh-in to see if the changes I’ve made would pay off. When I stepped on I saw that this week I had lost 2 pounds this week. Each week presents its own challenges, but isn’t that what makes life so exciting? Until next week… Remember to stay positive and keep looking forward.
