Man... Last Monday was such a bummer for me. I was really down on myself for letting myself slide and gain 1.4lbs! It actually hurt my morale a little bit. However, I took it upon myself to make sure I did better!
My friend convinced me to download an App on my iPhone 4 (which I love) --can also be downloaded on any Apple product (iPhone3, iPad, iPod Touch)... It is called "My Fitness Pal" and it is totally FREE! I highly suggest anyone who can, download this app!
It helps you track your Calories and Exercise. You can also link it to FB or Twitter (which I haven't and probably will not do just because I already do this).. :-D It keeps track of what you ate and if you aren't sure about the calories (for example a home cooked meal), you can type in the pieces that you had and it will find the best matching results. I won't say that it is 100% accurate because sometimes you do have to guess about how much you ate and if their best matched result is really that... But I love it! You can also friend people on it, so I am friends with my girlfriend here at work and... guess what.. You will never believe it! I am also friends with my husband! You heard it right!
My husband David has joined in on this weight loss journey with me. I wasn't going to force him to join, but I think he finally saw the light that I was shining in his face! Haha! He downloaded the App as well and has been doing AWESOME! It is so nice to have him on this journey with me, it makes it that much easier to continue to work on my weight at home now! Having both parties eating better and supporting each other is AMAZING! It works!
And the verdict is.... I lost 4.2lbs since last week! I think this is amazing! I know it is a ton of weight to lose in one week, but if you counter it with the 1.4 I gained last week, it nets to 2.8lbs which is more reasonable!
I tell you, it has made all the difference having David go through this with me now! I love it!
