| Weight Watchers, Blogger and Fitness Buddy Apps |
Whether it’s the people or the technology, so much of my
success has been made possible by the support I get through social media. Whether
it’s an app, blog or good old fashioned Facebook, my social sustenance must
meet one important nutritional criterion: ACCESSIBILITY.
We all have busy lives. Even though I am single (many folks
think that makes life easier for some reason) I have a 60 hour work week, school,
travel, elderly parents that need lots of help and work hard each day to
maintain my new, healthy lifestyle. This means I cannot be tied to tools that
require me to be at my desk to use. Healthy apps to the rescue! I have 3
favorites (pictured above)…
Weight
Watchers Mobile: This app allows me to track my food and exercise, look up
recipes, restaurant information and even has cheat sheets for comparing
cocktail choices! I can track on the road, at work, at play and even at home if
I don’t feel like logging on to my laptop. Weight Watchers also developed a
clever reader app that scans any food with a barcode and shares the needed
program information.
Fitness
Buddy: This app allows you to select from hundreds of exercises and
workouts no matter your fitness level. Complete with pics and video, it’s a personal
trainer and motivator all packed into one app. Starting a workout can be a
daunting task but this app made it easy for me to get started and has kept me
going as I travel from work to home to ever present work conferences.
Blogger
Mobile: Not sure why it took me so long to download this little gem, but I
used to think I could only blog at home while on my laptop. Feeling chained to
a desk, even one as lovely as the one in my home office, limited the time I had
available for sharing updates and ideas. As of last week, I am obsessed with
this app. Granted it’s not as glamorous to negotiate as the full screen
version, but it gives me a great outlet to post from anywhere the spirit moves me.
