To lose is to gain
"One pound per week"- a rule
For three last few weeks I have been trying to lose some weight. This had been very interesting. Difficult might be a better descriptor.
In order to be honest with myself I stated recording everything I eat in an app called myfitnesspal. I am almost addicted to it. I enter everything in it religiously. Apparently, I am not the only one.
An article in August 12th issue of UsaToday the apps are beginning to be the popular choice for losing weight. This phenomenon is affecting traditional programs such as weight watchers.
Because of the ease, your friends can join and keep you honest.
One of my coworkers, Carrie, did and she is giving me hell if I slip up or overestimate an exercise. Nothing like an honest critic.
I believe that this is just a part of the quantified self movement that tries to capture as much information as possible. In the future this might be a bit more automatic through sensors. In the end this app makes it easier for me to track myself.
Today's question is:
"How do you keep yourself on track?"
