Hallelujah!

My miracle arrived this morning at 11:25AM. I actually waited for the mailman and ran out to meet him. I had already studied the manuals online and knew exactly what to do; however, I took what seemed like eternity to remove the strap\wing assembly from the armband. I can't wait for this thing to charge so I can strap it on. I entered my meals so far in the Activity Manager and I also entered my last known weight.
I know I said I would face the scale this morning but I didn't and I didn't want to weigh after breakfast. I will definitely weigh in tomorrow after an early morning walk\jog.

Well I decided to weigh in after all because I wanted to enter my true weight in the Activity Manager on Bodymedia's website. I was shocked to see 194.8lbs. I thought for sure my weight was under 190lbs but I will see tomorrow when I weigh first thing in the morning.

I got over the shock of the scale and got back to being excited about my gadget. I love it already. I can see up-to-date calorie burn and steps taken and I am just ecstatic. I know the novelty will eventually wear off but unlike the other things I bought, this one is simply no fuss, it just provides the information. The rest is up to me.

Although I didn't get everything up and running until after 12 noon, I still wanted to hit all my targets as if I started when I got out of bed. I am proud to say I did my 10,000 steps and had a calorie deficit of more than 1000. I would love to have a calorie deficit of 3500 which would translate into 1 pound loss per day but I would have to work out for hours to achieve that goal. Four pounds per week on a consistent basis will still get the job done.
