Snacks snacks snacks and apps!

 Alright so no gym today, I ended up staying late at work and by the time I left my ankle was killing me so I will just have to get up early tomorrow and go.  On another note however I got snacks at Walmart today!

 One thing I got was Veggie straws! I have had these before and they're really good, plus they have a low calorie count which is good considering I'm trying to keep track of my calorie intake.  They are all natural with no preservatives added with apparently 30% less fat than the "leading potato chip". I don't know what potato chip that is but hey at least these are healthier and yummy as well.  I bought the 6 pack so it will hold me over for a little while, or at least I hope so haha.

 I actually got two kinds of vegetable chips today as it turns out, these are not as good as the veggie straws but I was at work when I bought these so I could have a snack since I did not eat lunch before I left for work. A serving of these is 1/2 a cup and its a 130 calories in the serving, since work was really busy I only ever got to eat maybe five pieces haha, but they will come in handy as well.

 So last night I also put two new apps on my phone, one "Lose it!" and "7 Minute Workout". I already had the app for my Fitbit and for "MapMyWalk" so these two will help with my journey as far as keeping track and remembering to log my meals.

  So the "Lose It!" app is really cool as a way to keep track, based on the amount of weight I want to lose overall and the amount I want to "lose per week" it calculates a calorie amount each day that I budget to be able to eat. It shows it as making sure to exercise to burn more calories than in-taking calories, I log what I eat and certain things it actually has in it's system so it's easier to log.  I can scan the bar-code of a product and if the system can recognize it then it pops up with a page to log how many servings eaten and what calorie count it is and then ta-da! it's added. Also I can log my exercise throughout the day. To log my working activities I used my Fitbit to tell me how many calories I had burned and used that to log the exercise that way.

Now this app is really cool too, sometimes getting to the gym can be difficult with errands, work, life in general. So this will help me get in an extra workout and will explain it to me on how to do each workout so I am not confused or not really getting any progress from it because of my not doing it correctly.

That's it for now then, tomorrow I will probably go to Zumba at my gym but it wasn't been decided on yet haha.

 Until next time lovelies.
