The Jawbone and I: Three Weeks Later
I bought the Jawbone Upmove for one reason! To find out what exactly I need to do to lose weight and be honest about it!
TO be honest about the fact I am probably far more sedentary than I will admit. To be honest that most of what I eat is just crap wrapped in a healthy coating. This isn’t my first fitness rodeo, I have done it all: Counted Calories, Counted Carbs, Extreme fitness routines, no fitness routines....you get it. The truth is none of it really sticks....because Extreme is not sustainable, and counting...counting works as long as you aren’t starving. Believe me, if you are starve yourself skinny you will binge yourself fat.
I made myself a promise that I would take a step back and let the data tell the story. The story is this. I am not active enough. NOT AT ALL! I average about 3000 steps a day.
I also eat too much. When I say too much I simply mean too many calories. The nutrition is a whole other story.
Simply put I am the the poster child of why someone becomes and stays obese....too little activity and too little food. I complained about this in an earlier blog.
Boost My Average step count to 5000.
- How! Set A Reminder, to walk for 15 minutes for every two hours at work. I work 8 hour days. This means during the week I will add approximately 2000 steps a day!
- How! Log Everything. This is possibly the most difficult thing for me to do! Taking action when the app says I am over. I have set a summary notification for the evenings just in time to let me know I might need to do some time on the treadmill or bike!
I will check in next week, let everyone see the results
