I absolutely love this product!!

I've only been wearing this for a week but I am amazed at how it really changes your thinking and awareness on so many levels!

What does it do?  Well, keeps track of everything for you.  What you do with that info is up to you!

Here goes:

• Sleep tracking (tells you how long it took you to fall asleep, hours of deep sleep, hours of light sleep, if you woke during night...add in a smart alarm and a power nap feature and you are covered.
• 24/7 activity tracking ... you set a goal for how many steps you want to take a day and it counts them up for you giving you bar graphs during the day ... and calories burned, distance covered along with a stopwatch mode and an idle alert.
• Food and drink tracking ... helps you keep track of what you ingest ... you can either type it in, use their library, or scan the barcode in for nutritional info. (See my photo below)
• Insightful information and trends you have demonstrated in neat little graphs.

You can get this product online (I think mine came from Amazon for $129.99) and use it with IOS5.1 or greater, iPhone 3GS or later, iPod Touch 3Gen or later or the iPad.

Personally I am fascinated by the sleep features ... I had no idea what my night consisted of while asleep!  It breaks it down to see when you are in deep sleep, light sleep, etc.  I feel much better when my light sleep is less and my deep sleep is longer.  I'm also on a mission to reach my steps for the day goal of 10,000 as I've been barely moving in my usual speed with being under the weather ... but it makes me want to move and walk the dog even if the weather is cold and damp!  

Ok, I could go on on about features but I thought maybe some of you who have heard about them might be happy to hear they are very cool.  Go buy one and start tracking yourself!!

Here is a shot of today's nutritional breakdown ... my sugar is high!  I think that's because my green smoothie had a nice batch of fruit and veggies that do count as a sugar ... even though it is a natural source of sugar.  Just something to watch and be aware of as we all tend to over do it with sugar of some sort.
