Apps Archives - A Father of Twin Boys

Recently my wife encouraged me to download and install My Fitness Pal app and I must say, I have been blown away how easy it is to use, but also to track what I am eating. The app not only works on the web, but also on multiple smart phones as well.

As most, I set out to lose weight, but after the 1st of the year, I normally just continue my eating habits. Now, I am more conscious about what I am eating and when I am eating, because I am tracking my calories. And to even got a step further with the importance of this app, my wife is able to see what I am eating and help encourage me to make better decisions when she sees that I have slipped and eaten a cheeseburger at lunch, instead of a salad or fish.

So far, I am on schedule with my weight loss and it is in large part due to My Fitness Pal.

As with everything else with our society, there is an app for our smart phones for almost everything. Here are a few apps that I wanted to share that I have either read about that I wished that I had used or that I have used in the past/currently.

Out of Milk – This app is perfect for people with ADD or that just forget because they have so much going on. It allows for lists, which I use for grocery shopping, to be created either on the phone or on a computer, which is then synched to the phone. I probably use this app once a day.

Baby Tracker – I have not used this one, but with twins, it could have come in handy.

Baby Sign Language – This is something that we have started doing, so I can see were this could come in handy.

It is amazing how technology is creating apps to make our lives easier as parents.
