Yes, there is an App for that!

27 Feb

As some of you know, I just got an iPhone and I have to say I’m in love!  It’s amazing how this tiny little phone can do so much.  And now it can help me make better decisions on my food choices and keep me on track to get to my goal weight by 6/15 (109 days away).  I tested out an app when I went grocery shopping and holy cow it awesome.  Fooducate app helps you figure out if the food you are thinking of getting is right for you.

Here is how it works:  You click on the app, and then put your phone up to the bar code on the food you are thinking of purchasing.  The app then registers the product, showing you the calories, what the product is, rating on if it’s a healthy food, and breaks down the ingredients as well as shows you what exactly the artificial ones are.  But the best function of this app, is it gives you better alternatives to what you just scanned.  So, that means, if you have been eating something you thought was good for you and then find out it’s not, this app helps you find something similar that is way better for you.  Like I said, amazing!

My next project before I go grocery shopping next week, is to scan everything in my house.  If there is a better alternative, then it will be written on the list to buy. Let me know if you try it out and what you think.  Happy healthy shopping!

Embracing Social Media

24 Jan

Confetti

Yeah!  My first blog post….crazy to think I cringed at the mention of social media  just  6 months ago and now I can’t get enough of it.  I finally got with it and joined Facebook, but not only did I create a personal page, I also created a fan page.  Then I got on Twitter…still figuring that one out and  now I have my very first blog!

I’m embracing social media to the fullest one step at a time of course.  I was going to wait and launch my blog later this week; I wanted it to be perfect! But nothing is perfect and no matter how perfect I get it, this blog will be a work in progress.  So, here it is in all it’s glory.  I hope you enjoy it and please let me know if you’d like me to discuss specific topics on health and fitness as you know I love helping you guys out!

This blog will take over my “Notes” section on Facebook and will eventually take over my weekly newsletters.  I do love my weekly newsletter so I’m not ready to give those up yet, but I might reduce them to monthly…we’ll see how it goes. My commitment to this blog is to post at least 3 times a week so that is a lot of info for you guys!

So, what else can you find in this blog?  OMG…so happy you asked!  You can find out about the workouts I do (all Beachbody of course), about my Shakeology recipes and how it helps me stay on track, and tons of clean eating tips!

This is my journey of fitness and helping others meet their fitness goals!  Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a post.  Here’s to a fitter us!
