My new favorite website!


I HAVE to share! I just absolutely LOVE this new website. It's www.fitday.com. You can use the trial version or purchase the download for $19.95. It's the perfect way to track everything you eat, every time you exercise and WHY you eat and WHERE you eat and WITH WHOM you eat. When you enter the food (if it's not in the database, you can put in custom foods that will always be there when you go back for them) it tells you the amount of calories, protein, carbs, fat and misc nutrients you are ingesting. There is a diary you can track moods, or MIGRAINES or any other issues.

But then if you are thinking "But Chatty-Kat, what if I want a personal trainer so I will exercise more?" The bestest site I've found is www.efit4me.com. You choose the training tools you have available to you from a list on the site. They compile a training program from those items and a schedule of when you should workout. When you go into your specially designed program and click on each exercise, there is a computer image that demonstrates HOW to do the exercise. It's SO cool! I've never seen anything like it. I'm using the trial version, but if you subscribe, (and I'm sure I will!) it's about $6/mo or an even better deal for the annual fee of about $60/year.

I have a HUGE library of exercise DVD's but my favorite program is easily Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds. I even got the Chatty-husband to do the one-mile program this morning! I absolutely love to exercise - it's just getting myself to do it when I'm tired. It's easier to watch tv with a big bowl of ice cream than to put on a sports bra and proper shoes, switch TV to DVD, maybe move something out of the way and start the exercise. BUT SO WORTH IT!! I love the feeling after about 10 minutes, when the endorphins kick in and I get that higher-than-halcyon feeling. It makes me happy and energetic and I really love it. Just gotta do it!
