My Fitness Pal

Monday 28 May 2007 @ 4:00 am

My Fitness Pal is a 100% free calorie counter and weight loss tracking service to help you track and achieve your weight loss targets. I just signed up and the process is fast, easy and cost-free. You get a quick reminder of your target weight loss by a specific date based on data you provided during the sign-up - mine was 10 pounds by July 1, 2007.

The main page features a quick snapshot of your daily calorie goals, which can be updated by recording your food intake via your personal food diary an your burned calories via you exercise log. This calorie counter feature is a great way to both track your daily progress as well as keep a written record to see how you implemented your weight loss activities several weeks or months down the line.

The calorie counting service is powered by their exercise and food databases. The very extensive exercise database allows you to choose the exercises you performed and how long you performed them. The system will then, based on your weight, give you an approximate amount of the number of calories the activity used up. This is a great service to those actively counting calories.

What I love about the database is it’s not focused exclusively on regular strength and cardiovascular exercises but takes it a step further by allowing you to compute burned calories based on normal everyday activities such as cleaning the room, playing the drums or playing frisbee. This allows a much more exact computation of burned energy than just logging in gym workouts and aerobic sessions. You can also create your personal exercises and input your approximate calorie burns for each, which means you can add regular activities for you like walking from home to the bus stop at a set pace or making love during the evenings. It’s a great personal touch.

They have a similar database for food where, like in exercises, you can also customize for your own intakes.

Lastly, I am a big fan of community forums when it comes to weight loss. I don’t think there’s anything more helpful than a community of like-minded individuals ready to help you achieve your goals and working towards the same.



How To Stop Falling Asleep During Powerpoint Presentations

Friday 18 May 2007 @ 6:37 pm

Soooo you’re one of my kind. The kind that can’t sit through a single powerpoint slideshow presenting the latest company programs, advertising campaign or project guidelines.

Most possibly, like me, you couldn’t sit through a single class back when you were in school as well. Are we ADD? Are we such stimulation whores? Or are presentations - not just Powerpoint- simply fishing boring?

Here’s how to stop falling asleep in them and avoid boss-irritation:

  1. Don’t attend one.
  2. Make excuses not to attend one.
  3. Drink coffee.
  4. Stare wide eyed. You may strain your eyes so blink every five minutes or so.
  5. Look down at your notes and pretend to listen.
  6. Look at a blank area of the projector screen and imagine Jessica Alba there.
  7. Make excuses not to attend one.
  8. Hide behind someone’s head so if you fall asleep, it’s not easy to notice.
  9. Raise your eyebrows and keep it that way. It’s hard to sleep this way.

The World’s Most Comfortable Bed For Having Paris Hilton Over

Friday 18 May 2007 @ 12:39 am

My dream bed is a double-king size bed. Half will be a water bed. The other half will be a stiff bed. I love sleeping on a waterbed. It's fucking dreamy. And I love fucking on a stiff mattress. It's the best fuck always. Next to the bed is a jacuzzi, ergonomically designed so as not to spill over water onto the floor. This way, when the weather is too hot, I can just jump out of bed into the water and vice versa. Same when it's too cold with warm water on the jacuzzi. Lastly, I'm sure Paris Hilton will find it hot. Mmmm. Specials Remove Hair Hair Away Unwanted Hair Shave Hair Hari Remover Hair Removal Remove Hair Hair Away Unwanted Hair
