Food for Thought on the Lose It App

It’s time for a healthy eating update with the Lose It App! I’ve officially been on the Lose It app for a full month, and the Pajama Jeans have been ordered. I’m beyond excited.

I know guys. But stay with me here. They’re pajamas. AND they’re jeans. And they’re as seen on tv, so it’s pretty much a given that as an owner of a Magic Bullet, some Nelly’s Dryer Balls, and Mighty Putty, the Pajama Jeans are gonna make an appearance at my house sooner or later.

But that’s beside the point! The point is the Lose It app has done exactly what I wanted it to – it has completely changed the way I eat. You’re only alloted a certain number of calories a day, and you log what you’re eating as the day goes on so you can see where you’re at. If you eat an Islands burger and fries, you’re easily gonna blow all of your calories at lunch, leaving virtually nothing for breakfast or dinner. If you want to be able to eat heartily for all three meals AND snackage, you better start picking healthier alternatives.

I said before, I’ll say again. I’m not dieting to lost weight, really. I’m dieting to get healthier. Last night was the first time in a month that I’ve had fast food, which is pretty much amazing. I haven’t had a soda since xmas. I go to the gym once a week, and find other ways to be active at least 1 or 2 other days of the week. My plan is to use the Lose It app all through 2012, just to really hammer in the healthy eating. If I can do this for a full year, I’ll have a really good handle on what to eat, and what not to eat.

I bought some Smart Dogsย soy hot dogsย to try out last week, since they had way less calories than regular hot dogs and still a good amount of protien. Seemed like a good thing to try for lunch with Phil. (He loves em by the way.)

And it broughtย up an interesting question… You know how it’s widely accepted that hot dogs contain less than desireable parts of the cow… Lips and a-holes, that’s the saying…

This question is a little delicate.

Um…

What about Smart Dogs?

Is there an undesirable part of the soybean? Am I eating it?

Yikes.

I will not eat soy rear ends!
