So as everyone knows, who reads this blog, Ken and I have been on a healthy lifestyle craze. We are both dropping weight with diet and exercise aided by the Bodybugg device. This nifty gadget gets worn on the back side of the upper right arm -- mostly hidden by clothes. It is quite a tricky little do dad. Basically, there are sensors on the back of it that somehow track your every calorie burned, step walked and bouts of sustained physical activity.
All this information gets uploaded into the computer as well as my entering into the same computer program every calorie I take in. Basically, it gives me concrete numbers to work with so I know exactly what I am taking in versus burning. Simple, really, burn more than you eat and the weight falls off.
Well, last night was the first night of Hanukkah, and Ken decided to enable my complete obsession with all things Bodybugg! There is a digital readout accessory that wears like a watch -- and it shows me up to the minute details such as my calories burned, or steps taken, etc. It is wicked cool! It is really the only thing I wanted for any of the holidays, so I am taken care of good! Yay!!!!
Now, nothing says I will not be continuously uploading information so I can have it charted for posterity, but I can now obsess as much as my little heart desires!
Oh, by the weigh (pun intended) as of this morning, according to my scale, I am down 49.5 pounds!
PS: Holiday Q&A returns!!!
Q: Were you ever in a Holiday play, and if so, what part did you play?
A: I was in a pageant of some kind when I was a wee one and I played one of several Little Drummer Girls. I even found the coffee can drums when we were cleaning out my Mom's place. The only reason I remember this, though is that we have pictures, which I also found. As soon as I remember where I put them, I will upload to share. How about you? Any plays or costumes?

First of all, I love the smaller banner. Your blog looks so sleak and slick now. :)
I am so proud of you and how well both you and Ken have been doing with your weight loss. I really wish I could get my butt on the same track but I can not seem to find the motivation. I think my desire to eat myself to death because it is the only thing that makes me feel better about my crappy job is holding me back a bit.
As for plays, I was in alot of them. I played Mary, an angel, a snowflake ballerina and Mary again.
You are rockin the weight loss. Just keep going the way you are all the way to your goal. You are the best!!
For plays, we act out the nativity every Christmas Eve since I was a kid. So I have been pretty much everything except Jesus and Joseph. =) I love Christmas. Did I mention that? hehehe
Congrats! I am really excited that you are doing so well with the program. My mother is also starting the program and I can't express to her how thrilled I am that she's taking that next step. Heck, I'd just like to have a BodyBugg but not useful without the software.
