I don’t know how I forgot about this with yesterday’s post. But I have an awesome story for all of you. Friday morning I was getting ready for work and I grabbed a pair of jeans that I have been eyeing all week. I started to put them on and started to get really worried when they felt tighter than I remembered, I pulled them all the way up and buttoned and zipped them when I realized that they were not the pants I thought they were. They were TWO sizes smaller! Can you believe it? The scale hasn’t moved at all in 2010, but the clothes are fitting better. Sweet!
That was a great way to begin the weekend. I really want this to work, but I have no idea what my real calorie burn is, and so that causes some consternation. I’ve been doing research on the fitbit and the body bugg. I went back and forth all week and finally decided that the body bugg was worth the investment. I read a review that said that the fitbit didn’t register calorie burn while working out above a walk. That is the whole reason I wanted one of these devices. I don’t need a pedometer. I need something to help me figure out what an appropriate calorie deficit is. I’m really hoping that the body bugg will give me the information I need to make smart decisions. So far I love it!
My lunch was a lot of snackie items that I didn’t track immediately and so I made poor decisions. Oh well.
(dan made some yummy polenta for lunch)
Who uses a body bugg? Any tips/tricks to share? Do you find that a 500-1000 calorie deficit always works to lose weight?
