Bad Few Days

For some reason, I'm a little annoyed. Nothing really specifically bothered me today or this weekend but some reason I am upset. If I was a female I would easily blame this on PMS or something but I'm not. It's just one of those couple days where every little thing that I would typically just brush off is just picking it's way into me. I should be excited, new things are coming my way. Heading to China in the end of the year, Europe the next and attempting to live a more healthier lifestyle. 

I'm sure it's just a few bad days and I'll get over it but it's really annoying when you feel you can't let things go.

I'm FAT - Jawbone UP and Myfitnesspal

I am fat. I am sick of it and so I decided to change it. I am currently dieting and working out and trying to be more active. Of course being the techie person that I am, I'm using some Apps that will help me along the way. Currently I am using myfitnesspal and also the Jawbone Up. I've had the Jawbone up before but with the fail product they released before I wasn't able to take advantage of it before. I do now have the updated product and it seems to be working pretty well for me.

If you're not familiar with the Jawbone UP. It's pretty much a fancy pedometer that also monitors your sleep and food intake which all syncs with your mobile device. The app i'm using is myfitnesspal and it's a pretty handy tool. It's basically a calorie counter but in order for it to work for you, you need to constantly input your data of everything you consume so it can tell you what and how much you should eat. What's great about these 2 things are that both apps talks to each other so all the workout and calories burned on Jawbone up reflects of how many calorie intake I can have that day on myfitnesspal. I've only been using these products for about almost a month and currently I've lost 6 lbs. Of course I would love to lose weight faster but I just have to keep it consistent. 

I know losing weight is hard to do but you have to keep at it.
