Back to basics

My favorite pair of "fat" jeans.

Simple enough right. You know those are the jeans, that don't make you look like you are pregnant and shapes the cottage cheese that is your buttock. Well, I accidentally mooned an unsuspecting crowd the other day when my favorite pair of jeans failed me.

I have gone back to the http://www.Sparkspeople.com diet. I would really call it a diet per say. It teaches you how to live and eat. The potions looked small to me before, but I got use to it.

The only thing I don't like about it is the limits on foods. Every once in awhile I like a nice Ribeye or Sirloin steak. Those options are not available on the Sparks peoples diet. Another option I feel Sparks in a miss is the ability to "scan" your foods.

Another diet I have been using is the Daily Burn. I found it as an iPhone app. It lets you use your phone as a label scanner and all you have to do is insert how many serving you ate. Daily Burn also tracks your exercise and suggests exercises to do for maximum benefit. Daily Burn also tracks weight and let's you view real time progress. It is for the most part a free app. It can be upgraded to a the Daily Burn Pro for 9.99. This gives you a 30 day subscription, from what I understand, to make the app more integrated with a desktop, gives you meal planning options, and more advanced exercises, progress reports and body tracking. For the mess I am now, the free app is good for me. I will more likely try the Pro once I get closer to my target weight and size. I will also be using my other apps like iMap my walk and iMap my run. I use iMap my Run when I'm skating.

As I said before, things are finally looking up. Now the weight is going down.
Stress is the biggest weight gainer, but that is another rant.
