So as I have mentioned before, one of my goals during this deployment is to lose 30-40 pounds. We had a weigh in yesterday (I HATE weigh ins) and since arriving here in Afghanistan I have lost 12 pounds. So that made me very happy. But, I still hate weigh ins. I could write a whole post on how the weight standards are from the 1940s when nobody had any food, and they are probably a little out of date, but I won't.
So anyway, I still have a considerable amount to go. I found this little device online, that seemed like it would come in handy. It is called the Fitbit. Apparently it is like a fancy pedometer but it also tells you how many calories you have burned throughout the day. You can also wear it while sleeping and it monitors your sleep. Which in my case, it will tell me that I don't sleep very well, which I already know. I mostly bought it because I am walking everywhere and this way I can tell how far I walk in any given day and how many calories I burn. And knowing myself, I will end up walking more places and burning more calories as I will try to beat my previous days numbers. I'm just competitive like that, even with myself....
So, I'll have to let you guys know how useful this thing is. So, stay tuned...
