It’s Spring break here in Virginia, which for my family means the obligatory visit to the entire family (Great Grandma, Dad, in-laws…you get the picture).

There I was sitting in the car with my handy iPhone thinking, “what to do, what to do” when I decided to search for “free iPhone app”. After loading the iHandy Level, the Flashlight, and the Fart for Free (for the kids of course, though I did shed a tear over fart sound #11) applications, I suddenly found Lose It! (I swear I heard choirs of angels right there in the front seat of the Acadia).

I downloaded what turns out to be a truly lovely application – a tool to help me manage my calorie intake / calorie burn rate on a daily, weekly, basis all tied to my own “lose it” weight goal plan. And it was EASY to use. I quickly added the 16oz. of white wine to the day (note, this is 386 calories), added the 30 minute treadmill run I had done that morning (burned about 350 calories) and began to plan the rest of my 1400 calorie day.

I have to say ladies, it is addictive. However, given that my home base for the next three days was my Mother-in-laws home (where the Schwann Food man is responsible for every breaded meal and candy is free flowing from every glass dish in the house) I was not able to truly use the beauty of the Lose It! application. But now that I’m home I am back on track and I gotta say, it’s phenomenal!

Give it a try, I’d love to know what you think.
