No, I&#8217;m not turning anorexic but I just realised that I have gained some pounds over the summer and whilst I was in the process of losing those extra pounds, I thought of <em>adding <\/em>on a few more pounds to lose to get to a target weight that I&#8217;ve been thinking about for a while, but haven&#8217;t really been serious about doing it.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ll be using the website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfitnesspal.com\">MyFitnessPal<\/a> to track my progress by entering what I eat, and entering the exercise that I do (essentially, I&#8217;ll be counting calories burned\/inake). I happened to come across this site whilst waiting for my Mum @ her dentist today (she was having 3 root canals!). Eek. Anyway, they had free Wi-Fi and whilst browsing on my iPhone, thought about getting an app for health and this was\u00a0 one of the first listed apps. \ud83d\ude42 I thought that since I&#8217;m so into my iPhone right now, I&#8217;ll be more inclined to actually follow through (since I&#8217;ll have a phone-interface <em>and<\/em> web-interface to work with!)<\/p>\n<p>My goal is to lose a pound a week&#8230; Don&#8217;t know exactly if I&#8217;ll be able to do that, but I&#8217;m hoping to reach close to my target weight by the time I run my 9th marathon. I&#8217;m also hoping to reduce the size of my waist, i.e., gut! since you can enter your neck, waist and hip measurements (so it&#8217;s not just about weight).<\/p>\n<p>I know I already won&#8217;t eat right after a week (LOL) but with any luck and <em>some<\/em> discipline, I can at least match my intake to my activity&#8230; Ahhh, who am I kidding? Let&#8217;s see how far I go before dropping this altogether. +_+<\/p>\n<p>p.s.,<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re on MyFitnessPal, LMK! We can be &#8220;friends&#8221; on there and encourage each other ^_^ The app is also available for phones running Android OS \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, I haven&#8217;t lost my mind but I need to lose 12 lbs in order to get to my target weight!
