Actually, this past week we spent most of it on vacation with family on a reunion, so lots of food, lots of sitting and chatting, and not a whole lot of exercise. I did manage to take as many walks around the neighborhood as possible, so we did accomplish a lot with that.
One major thing I think I needed was a way to track my exercise. I was looking up apps on my iPhone and found this, the MyFitnessPal app. It is pretty fantastic. It helps you track your food intake and exercise and helps you calculate total calories. Most importantly it breaks down the nutrition of the food you've eaten and tells you if you've reached your limit on vitamins, minerals, cholesterol, etc. I really love using this and it really helps you realize how much you eat even if you don't realize it. At the end of the day it also tracks your progress and lists what your weight would be if you continued on the same path. It's helpful, very helpful and I love it and am using it in my daily trackings.
Back from vacation now and resting, but just bought a bunch of healthy groceries so hoping this week will be a success. Til then :) Tah tah!
