BodyBugg and Grocery Shopping

Not eating like a starving pig is proving to be expensive. It's so much cheaper to just buy a fridge full of lean pockets and stock up on bread and sandwich meats than it is to buy REAL fruits and vegetables. I went to the store to day to get some fruit, veggies, milk, juice, granola bars, and chicken, and I ended up spending eighty dollars. Goodness gracious. Of course, I couldn't resist the temptation to buy Lean Pockets, so I got those too. There are just some things in life you can't part from and for me that item is my Lean Pockets or Hot Pockets.

I remember the first time I ever saw a Hot Pocket. My dad had purchased the old school BBQ Beef Hot Pockets. I didn't know what they were, but I kept looking at him eating them, and I finally asked what those were and could I have one. From that point on, my mother had to buy both my father and I BBQ Hot Pockets upon every visit to the Base Commissary. 

My BodyBugg program is confused about me I think. I don't think it realizes I stay up all night and sleep all day. Since my schedule is messed up, I've been documenting whatever I eat during my night owl sessions on the day portion of the food log. (So everything I eat tonight will go on Wednesday's food log instead of Thursday even though midnight it changed to Thursday.)

Here's a little orientation to how the Body Bugg system looks on the computer.

This picture below is what appears on a daily basis once I upload all my food that I've eaten and uploaded my data from the BodyBugg. The target calories burned is based on my goal that I want to obtain by a certain date. I want to lose about 2-3 lbs per week. My calories consumed is based off of two meals (my schedule is messed up like you know, so still going to up for a few hours.) If you look on the bottom of the picture you can see where my activity peaks (where I burned the most calories).

Here's what the food log section looks like. They give you a meal plan that you can follow, and you change that up as you need it or just decide whatever diet you want to do. I've been sleeping during the day (as you can see from my activity log), so my "breakfast" was what I ate at 730 PM and my lunch was what I ate when I got home from shopping around 1230 AM/1 AM.

 Here's my activity log. It tracks medium to intense activity. My 4 AM activity was when I decided to dance around/do TV workouts. My 10 PM - 11 PM is when I went to the gym. I did 45 minutes of the elliptical/treadmill. 11 PM - 12 AM is whenever I went to Walmart and was walking around the store/carrying groceries.

It's a great program. It keeps track to see if maybe you need to pick up your intensity if you want to lose the amount of weight you want to lose in your time period. It also motivates you to workout because it shows you how many calories you will only burn if you don't workout the rest of the day.

I like charts and stuff so it's a great program!
