with under 3 weeks until our mexico vacation, i am highly motivated to lose a couple more pounds and get bikini ready!!! staying healthy is a combination of exercise and eating habits. since i don't practice a "diet" but rather a healthy lifestyle i am keeping track and being accountable for my food choices and exercise by using an app on my phone called "my fitness pal." it calculates your weight loss goals and tells you how many calories you should be eating. then you enter the foods you eat throughout the day and when you exercise it gives you calories back. often times we snack during the day, drink a soda, grab a piece of candy, or a few chips, but all these empty calories add up. so by doing a food journal i find that i am much more aware of what i am eating and portions as well. the other app i use on my phone is "strava." it is to track bike rides and running. it gives you the distance, your average speed and shows you the route. i know that "my fitness pal" and "strava" can link up and share info, but i haven't learned how to do that yet, so i use them independently.
i stocked up on plenty of fresh veggies, fruits and meats, so i don't have to think too hard about dinner. it helps when you also have a work out buddy and jarad really helps support me with my fitness goals. lately i have been loving to get outside and go for a nice walk after work. even though my energy level is getting low at that point, i know it is good for me (and wilfred) and it's an easy way to get in a 2nd workout and enjoy the fresh air while decompressing from a long day at work!
