My Best Friend- My iPod

In my last post I told you of my worst enemy- soda.  After I wrote that post I started thinking about what my best friend was when it came to exercise and dieting and the answer was obvious- my iPod. I'd be lost without it!
There are two reasons why I love this little piece of technology:
1.) Music- The most obvious reason of course. I don't think I could get through a single workout with listening to my music. Maybe its my ADD or something but I get so bored running on the treadmill. Sometimes I think I could run forever, I just get bored and eventually give up.
2.) Lose It- I discovered this App a couple weeks ago when my friend suggested I use it. I decided to try it out and it was free so I decided, what's the harm? I absolutely have fallen in love with it! I can track everything I eat in the entire day and it's great because I carry my iPod around with my anyways, so if I eat something, I can record it on the spot. It also lets you record all of the exercise you have done and tells you how many calories you have burnt. And then at the end of the day you can see your net number of calories. Also, there is an option that lets you set a goal. You input the required information and it will tell you how many  calories you can eat daily in order to lose the weight you need to. This is a great tool and I recommend it for anyone who has an iPod Touch or iPhone.
