In some states you know Spring has arrived by the singing birds and aroma of fresh flowers. In Arkansas we know it's Spring with the arrival of tornados. This year, it appears Spring is arriving early. Today was the first tornado warning of the year, with warnings across Central Arkansas. Thankfully, it doesn't appear that any tornados touched down, but it is still something that puts the entire area on edge.
E and I were talking about how we can watch our local weather stations so that we can be prepared. I explained that sirens used to mean that there was a tornado spotted, but now with new technology the sirens sound when it looks like there is a good chance of a tornado touching down. We discussed how this helps us get to our safe space ahead of time.
Just like our technology has assisted with the weather, we have technology to assist with losing weight as well. For me, the myfitnesspal app has been a vital part of my journey so far. It allows me to plan ahead with my meals. I punch in what I'm going to eat before hand, which serves as a sense of accountability. It helps me stick to the calorie intake I need, and then lets me know how many calories I can allow myself for a snack. The biggest thing about this is that it keeps me from overeating. As someone who used to sit down to eat a few chips and polish off the entire bag, this is critical. So tonight I'm thankful for technology and how it's helping me to lose my butter half.
My calorie intake today has been great. Also, I got up again this morning and worked out first thing. I'm very tired because I went to bed too late, but I love that I got to spend more time with my family.
