I am trying to figure out what I really like as far as vegetables. I think I am allergic to a number of uncooked vegetables and decided to research possible causes for the itchy throat and upset stomach. I happened upon a disorder called oral allergy syndrome. Seems there are a lot of people out there with this. If anyone ever had similar symptoms check it out.
Lastly, I would like to share a little fruit of my research. This morning I found this neato little app for smartphones which can be found here MyFitnessPal.
MyFitnessPal
This nifty little app has a food diary, a neat little fitness calculator, and exercise tracker. It will even calculate, based on your vitals, how many calories you need to intake daily in order to meet you goal weight in the time frame you want. It allows you to keep track of calories in the food diary as well, with a nifty little feature to scan bar codes and automatically input the food you ate and the servings.
I only intend to use this for a couple weeks at least in order to see where all my calories and nutrition are coming from and give me a good gauge of what I can accomplish with my exercise and moderation in food consumption.
Jocelyn continues to be a great support and motivator, she is definitely my rock :)
This is gonna happen, that's for sure :)

I know you can do it guys!! :D I'm so glad you decided to do this; its awesome how you're both supporting each other to become healthier and happier. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't remember if I actually mentioned it to you or not, but have you heard of Fitocracy? Its kind of like a role playing game for fitness. You input any exercise you do and you get points, gain levels, and get achievements. Also, they sometimes have "quests" that you can do, which encourage you to try new exercises or reach certain goals.
Keep up the great work!! :)
