Track It or Pack It

Have you ever thought about the food that you eat in a day? I never used to, but when I decided to take my healthy lifestyle to the next step, it was a must. I had lost quite a bit of weight just by starting to exercise, but exercise isn’t always everything. What fuels your body  can make or break the progress that you make while you are trying to get healthy. Tracking your food is a great way to see how you are fueling your body. You would be surprised at some of the food that you’re putting into your body that you might not necessarily realize. Everything that gets put into my mouth gets put into my app. That quickly helped me get rid of the munchies that I so often got.

In today’s world, technology is awesome. My Fitness Pal has been my compass on my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I was able to type in my weight, height, how much I wanted to loose or maintain, and it told me the calories that I could eat to achieve these goals. You would be surprised how much success you can have when you are really in tune with the food that you put into your body.  For me, I don’t like to see the calories of the bad things that I want to eat, so I try to find a healthier alternatives. I can track my weight; see where I am lacking nutrition wise, and make decisions on what I can and cannot have.   With this app I am also able to track my workouts.  This feeds into the net calories that I have obtained. This way I can make sure that I am getting enough calories to sustain my body, but not to many that would jeopardize my success.

I track so I don’t pack.  It is my compass that points me on the right path in my life long journey.
