I know, that&#8217;s what I get for the free version. Google Play has commercials as well, but not nearly as many. And it seems like there are a wider range of preset channels to choose from. I turn GP on in the morning and just let it run all day. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/extrapolatethis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/google-play-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"google-play (2)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-1153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extrapolatethis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/google-play-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/extrapolatethis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/google-play-2-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width:75%;\" align=\"center\">\n<p><strong>Exercise<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been really watching my diet and trying to exercise more since about October\/November last year. But since having more time, obviously I can find the time easier. I think it&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t feel as rushed, I&#8217;m enjoying it much more. I lift twice a week and do yoga twice a week. I don&#8217;t have much experience with yoga, but there&#8217;s no doubt it relaxes me. I&#8217;ve been doing the P90X2 yoga and love it! It kicks my ass!<br \/>\n*In full disclosure, the man in the pic below is not me.  : )<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/extrapolatethis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/p90x2-yogax2-e1459445645319.png\" alt=\"p90x2-yogax2\" width=\"225\" height=\"124\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1154\"><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width:75%;\" align=\"center\">\n<p><strong>Cooking<\/strong><br \/>\nI admit, I was pretty spoiled when it came to having my meals made for me. I helped clean up though, so it&#8217;s kind of like I helped cook.  Hmm, maybe not. Anyway, I&#8217;ve been trying my hand at making dinners. I think I&#8217;ve done pretty well. Not some two ingredient meals either, some pretty good ones. Earlier this week I made <a href=\"http:\/\/chefsavvy.com\/recipes\/the-best-chicken-parmesan\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chicken Parmesan<\/a> that turned out awesome! I know chicken parm usually comes with more of a spaghetti noodle, but we had some leftover macaroni to use up &#8211; just explaining the pic below. Today, I&#8217;m doing my first repeat recipe, pesto salmon, mmm good stuff. Let&#8217;s see, I also made some home made Sloppy Me&#8217;s I call them. &#8220;Me&#8221; because I&#8217;m Joe. Creative, I know. No canned sauce for me, this was all homemade.
