Hello friends! Today we're going to talk about reevaluating your plans. The best plans need to be evaluated because you know, we make mistakes. So, naturally a few weeks into my training schedule I decided to reevaluate my plan. One thing that is working very well is my group of allies. I have great, supportive friends and in particular one that asks me about my training and one that asks about my food. But I felt like I needed more data to be successful, so I bit the bullet and bought a fitness tracker. I know I said I was too cheap but I felt like the benefits would outweigh the cost.
This is the one I bought. I got this picture from the website, I tried to take one of mine on my wrist but it was terrible so this one would be better.
The benefits of this model are that it tacks your heart rate throughout that day (along with steps, distance, floors climbed, etc.) so that you get a more accurate calorie count. I wanted this so I can get a better handle on my calories in/calories out. This may be the only time in my life that I have cared about math. Ever. It syncs with the My Fitness Pal app too.
This model also has a silent alarm. I know that sounds terrifying, it's not. It's just an alarm clock on my wrist. It vibrates to wake me up and doesn't have a snooze button so I'm more likely to actually get up and get to the gym.
Between my friends and my new tool I will hopefully be more successful in my weight loss journey. I'll keep you posted!
