Back in October 2011, I decided I needed some help with counting my calories. Not the calories I consumed. The ones I burned. I used
Calorie Count for what seemed ages, but it only counted my caloric intake of foods, not what I was putting out. It was ideal for food journals which works really well and I encourage everyone to write what they eat down but I needed more. I also wanted something that was convenient to wear and would register my video workouts. I had looked at some of the HRM watches (which I was skeptical about because really I just wanted to do the calories...I can measure my own heart rate thankyouverymuch), and even considered a Nike + Sportband but it only registered a pace walk, meaning if I am standing in my living room doing TurboFire, it wouldn't show up that I did anything. I also feared that it wouldn't show me on a treadmill in case I get lucky enough to twist Goose's arm into one someday. Thinking ahead for the future here people!
