Day 109 Happy: Good workouts and diet technology
I have been doing such a good job of working out at least once a day. I'm starting to feel a little thinner, and I definitely feel stronger! Not only that, but I have a ton of energy that I didn't have before. Since I do my weigh-ins on Friday mornings, hopefully all of my hard work will show up on the scale... then again, maybe not for this week since I had Chinese food with my Mom and sister at the mall in Georgia on Saturday and then I had a Pumpkin Spice Frapuccino at the airport on my way home... and I didn't work out Friday or Saturday this week. It was a little bit hectic. But I'm not just trying to eat better and work out week to week... it's supposed to be a lifestyle change... blah, blah, blah.
Also, I got the neatest (free!) app on my iPhone today. It is called My Fitness Pal, and it tracks all of your calories eaten and burned (through your exercise) throughout the day. It even builds a database from all of the other users and has nutrition information for tons of food already in the system. When you first download the app and use it for the first time, it asks you about your height, weight, age and goals and then tells you how many calories you should be at after eating and exercise every day. I'm supposed to have about 1200 calories a day, and as I enter in my breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, it tells me how many calories I have left. It's actually kind of fun and helps show you just how quickly calories can add up if you're not paying attention.
Just another reason to love my iPhone!
