Me and My Mio-A Modern Love Story

I know that many of you are having a heart attack after checking my blog and finding that (gasp!) I've actually posted something new. Let's just say that I've been slaying dragons for the last few months (hang in there, mom). Well, I have a new favorite thing and I felt the time was right for a comeback tour. I have been a little pissy about the fact that I haven't managed to get back to pre-second baby weight, so I decided I needed to embrace the technology out there that would help me work off my booty. Not wanting to invest the $250 for the BodyBugg, I chose the Mio Motiva Petite and it ROCKS!!!!!! You enter all your personal info, like weight, height, age, how much weight you want lose a week, ect. and presto....you have a daily calorie goal. Then you enter in your calories for each meal. Then you work out...(unfortunately the watch doesn't do it for you). It has a strapless heart rate monitor on the watch that monitors how many calories you are actually burning for the duration of your workout. It calculates how many calories burned and subtracts them from your intake. As long as you stay below your number of net daily calories...you are on your way to being someone that people refer to as "tiny". The cool thing about this is that it totally takes away the need for a food diary since you just enter your meals right into your watch. Bonus is that I don't have to do any math - my nemesis since 7th grade algebra . I've only had this thing for a week, but I love it and have already lost a pound. Momma happy. I mean, Tiny Momma Happy.

PS- I got mine at Academy for $89, but if you can wait for the post office, Amazon had it for $79.
