I've found myself some new motivation and I'm LOVING it!!!
I know you all aren't as obsessed with Biggest Loser as I am (well maybe you are...) but
after getting lots of ad's directed toward me about Body Media I had to check it out for myself! ( they use and advertise this on Biggest Loser often)
It is basically an arm band with a sensor on it that you wear on the back of your left arm
all day long, even when you sleep. The reason it is so awesome is because
those sensors calculate how many calories you burn throughout the day, it gives you the activity level you
reached at diffrent points (moderate or vigerous), it calculates how many steps you take, and something
that I think is WAY cool, it monitors your sleep... it literally tells you when your just laying down or when you are actually asleep!
If you haven't figured out by now I bought myself one and it came on Saturday and I'm in love with it...
it makes me think about what I'm doing throughout the day to make sure I'm staying
healthy and moving toward my weight lose goal!
I contemplated buying this for a few months now because it was a little expensive and you have to
pay a monthly fee of $7 (big whoop) but I wanted to make sure I was going to be
completely commited to using it to my benefit and not just waste money on it! Since nothing
I have been trying has really worked lately I decided to try it out, I can always use a little
encouragment! The thing I'm most excited about it is it connects with MyFitnessPal and it
automatically syncs what I import on either one back and forth, it also adjusts my daily calorie intake
automatically based on how many calories I'm burning and what I need to eat to make up for it.
When I activated it I had to option to go with Body Media or The Plus program (Jillian Michaels), I was
pretty excited cause I like to read and follow some stuff Jillian has to say about
weight lose, so for 4/week (kinda of a lot more) I decided I would try it out and see what happens. Well I was not excited once I signed up and found out that Jillian's website does not connect with MyFitnessPal(kdlarson22),
I didn't want to have to enter the things I ate on two different forums, not to
mention her forum doesn't have as many things in the database as MFP. So I get to keep using it for a month on Jillian Michaels and learn what I can for free and then I switch to the regular Body Media site, which isn't all bad, they still give you tips on things you can do better in order to
achieve my goals.
Keep your fingers crossed that I can gain this motivation and run with it!
I still have a few things that I need to give up that I know are hindering my weight lose
I just haven't completely commited yet (getting VERY close though), on a
SUPER positive note!!! I hide the two month mark of NO smoking!!! ( I don't even miss it)
On to funner things!!
This was my fun DIY project of the weekend! I have SO many things that I have
found on pinterest or that I have just come up with in my own mind and I'm finally started to get a
few of them done!
This was a jewelry box like one I had as a kid, I decided to paint it
and since everyone is SO into Chevron lately I decided to add a little spice to it!
I didn't have any pictures of it completely put together with all the hardware and glass,
but you get the idea! :)
Happy Crafting to Everyone and Enjoy your Tuesday!
:D
