Happy New Year....Bring on 2013!!


Like the rest of you, my 6 week holiday extravaganza included a lot of eating, a lot of cookies, a lot of adult beverages….and very few workouts!
Also, like 80% of the rest of the world, I found myself feeling a little soft and went to the gym for a little new year, new goals, new expectations pick me up!  To my surprise, the gym was emptier than I find it during my 5 am workouts.  What I conclude from that is that way too many people partied a little too hard last night and aren’t starting their New Year’s resolution for a few more days (or at least a few more hours).
So for everyone that needs a place to start that may not be stepping into the gym, I have found the perfect ap to help jumpstart your 2013….
MyFitness Pal
This ap is easy and motivational and takes very little effort to keep up with…so while you are all sitting on the couch, trying to find the motivation to start your new year’s resolutions, pick up your phone or grab your computer (or tablet) and sign up…no excuses!
This ap is a FREE way of helping you track your calories, workouts, and even use the buddy system to help you achieve your fitness goals.  This tracker already has millions of foods preloaded into their database to help make tracking as easy and convenient as possible.  In addition, as you enter new foods or new workouts into your tracker, it automatically saves everything you do to make it that much more convenient as you continue to use your tracker.
Studies show that tracking your calories and physically writing down what you eat, makes you more aware of what you are consuming and will double your weight loss success.
Don’t need to lose weight? This ap also helps you maintain or gain as to whatever your fitness goals are.
Try it….you won’t be disappointed!
