April, So Far, So Good

April is moving along quiet well for the time being. I ordered and received my FitBit on March 29th and am excited using it. It is very discrete compared to my BodyBugg. I can wear it on my bra and no one can tell. I love seeing how far I walk seating people at the brewouse and how many flights of stairs I climb while at home. It also somehow tracks how well I sleep (so far I'm at an average of 96%, which is great). It also can sync with my Iphone to the calorie counting program I've been using, MyFitnessPal. If anyone has an Iphone I highly recommend the MyFitnessPal app. It has a HUGE amount of brands and restaurants to help you add up calories. It also has a camera where you can scan the bar code off of food items and it will automatically pop up with the nutritional information.

My roommate and I went healthy grocery shopping on Sunday and are both committed to getting healthy. I even have the boyfriend on board too. I've been trying to make us healthy dinners too. It's really nice to have a support system with people you can check in on, and help to keep you motivated. 

I've decided to stop getting food from the brewhouse because even their healthy items are still more calories than I can afford. There are only about 4 things that I am going to allow myself to get: Chicken Noodle Soup, Mozzarella Tomato Salad (no dressing), Grilled Chicken Breasts (with nothing else, no sauce), Mini EnLightened Beef Tacos (no chips or refried black beans), or a salad (modified with no added calories and/or light dressing).

I am happy to say that for the past two days I have stayed under my calorie goal. I am really trying to get back to the basics with eating healthy since I don't have a lot of time to get to the gym right now. I am going to try to get to the gym but am finding it so hard after 5 hours straight of standing at work. My feet are so tired I can't even think about running. But I need to get some gel insoles or something so I can get to the gym!

I'm excited and looking forward to what April has in store for me.
