I hit chest pretty hard last night, then followed it with dinner and an hour long walk. Today I hit back, semi-hard, and am planning to go on another hour long walk after dinner. Now that I’m phasing into my cutting routines, I’m finding I’m more tired – be it from extra exercise, fewer calrories, or probably both.

I’ve started tracking my workouts in a couple apps: BodySpace by bodybuilding.com and MyFitnessPal. BodySpace is good for tracking workouts and sharing them with the community. MyFitnessPal is more about tracking food intake than exercise, though it does have the ability to add workout information and does link to the iPhone’s Health app to incorporate walking and general movement caloric expenditure. It’s got some great features, particularly a bar code scanner utility, that makes tracking food really easy. I like not having to log everything I’m eating by hand, and it gives a good breakdown of what I’ve eaten so far, how many calories I have left to meet my daily goals, and breakdown of nutrients.

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep using them both. Part of me is still drawn to the old school notebook usage, and it makes updating here easier. Still, maybe it’s just learning and getting used to a new way of doing things, so I’m going to keep at it for a while and see if it sticks.

Part of the issue is that neither seems to be linking and posting to Facebook, so I don’t have links readily available that I can include here. I probably need to unlink and relink the apps to get them working again, since I made some tweaks to the settings after I installed them.
