How to Use FitDay

I was in the habit of logging my food and activities into FitDay at the end of the day. But what it revealed was how badly I had failed that day to hit my eating goals. It seemed that I was going way over on the fat content of my meals. So, I started to use FitDay to plan my meals and activities the day before. That way, I could make changes to my diet before I ate the fatty foods. It's made all the difference int he world.

You can use FitDay free online, or do what I did, and buy the software download. The download has lots more food items from which to choose and there's no annoying ads to wade through. Go to FitDay.com for more info.

Now come the problem of the sore muscles. The traps were the most sore, so I employed a set of yogaballs that Chris had bought. The setup resembled two tennis balls in a sock. I places these on the floor and lay down with them under my traps. Oh, the pain! But after some shoulder movement, I got my best massage in years.
