Okay, I usually do all of myself tracking on pen and paper so that I am able to go back and really analyze things better for myself.\u00a0 I am on the wrestling team here, so losing a lot of weight every week is very common for me.\u00a0 I tend to lose somewhere between twelve and fifteen pounds every week.\u00a0 I write down everything I eat and how my weight is, and then relate that to how I feel in my workouts.\u00a0 This allows me to see what types of things my body needs whenever I am at a certain weight.
\nFor this assignment, I decided to download “Food Blogging Free” on my Kindle.\u00a0 This is pretty much the exact same thing as my pen and paper method, but in digital form.\u00a0 This app gives you a blank space to type whatever you would like.\u00a0 After you submit a blog entry to your own personal page, you are given the option to then share to social media outlets if you choose to do so.\u00a0 I have noticed that it does have a few features that help you count calories taken in and burned, however I am not using these because I would not do so in my normal day to day logging.\u00a0 As for the future of this app, you could actually say it would be limitless.\u00a0 With self-tracking, there are countless ways to track yourself, especially in a category such as food and health.\u00a0 This app could evolve into something revolutionary for the medical world, you never really know.<\/p>\n
I choose to never post my information to social media.\u00a0 I do not use self tracking for others but for my own gain.\u00a0 Because of that, I do not see why it is appropriate for me to publish it to social media accounts.\u00a0 I do see how it could be a positive for other people though, allowing them to keep themselves accountable for their own actions is always a great motivator.<\/p>\n
I do believe that self tracking makes me happier.\u00a0 I believe this because my body tells me so.\u00a0 If I am, for example, nine pounds overweight, I can look into my log and see what I have eaten in the past when I was nine pounds over that allowed me to have a great workout.\u00a0 Because I am keeping a log of this, I am able to feel and perform better than ever before.\u00a0 As for other people posting their information to social media, I do not really have an opinion.\u00a0\u00a0 I tend to keep scrolling without glancing twice, knowing that whoever it is that posted it probably did so with good intentions.<\/p>\n
