Oh hello, Droid.

A few weeks ago my company gave me a Droid as my work phone. Yes, be jealous. : ) When the volume is on and I get a text or an e-mail, the phone says, "DROID." And like a total nerd, each time it does that I say back to it, "Oh hello, Droid!" haha. My boyfriend makes fun of me for that.

So anyway, Droid has an awesome (free) application called Calorie Counter. It has tons of foods and their nutritional content loaded in it, including restaurants and even supermarket brands, like Jewel and Wal-Mart. The other awesome part is since the Droid scans barcodes, you can scan the barcode of any food and it will pull up the nutritional information!

The last couple weeks I've been really slacking on tracking what I'm eating. I feel I haven't oversplurged on anything and have been doing a good job. But I should track for a couple days just to make sure. I'll post all my totals later.

One thing I hate about counting is trying to guess how many ounces of lunch meat are on my sandwich or how big my piece of chicken is. Anyone have some good suggestions there?

I went to the gym around 4 p.m. on Sunday, before the Super Bowl - which I don't even really care about anyway, but my mom was making meatloaf that night and I wanted to work out before eating that! Of course, the gym was deserted, which is my favorite time to be there. I spent 35 minutes on the Crossramp machine between a resistance of 8 and 12 (went back and forth) and then ran a mile on a 2.5% incline, which felt good. I'm glad I didn't have any Super Bowl parties to be around with tempting junk food. Since my boyfriend lives in the Quad Cities, I couldn't go with him to his friend's party. He made his yummy Velveeta cheese nacho dip. Glad I wasn't around it, haha!

Then last night Robin and I did the Crossramp for an hour, alternating between resistance of 8 and 10 and an incline of 8 and 10. Burned over 600 calories! Going again tonight but not sure what I'll be doing. I need to focus on some weightlifting today.
