As any casual reader of my site will realise - I am a terrible, gadget freak, come spendaholic. It is therefore no surprise that I have managed to find a purchasable product that will be absolutely invaluable /an absolute necessity in my latest project - the Body For Life challenge.
The product in question is a piece of software for my PDA device, called PocketBFL. [If I haven't previously mentioned my PDA device, it's a Dell Axim X51V, but the PocketBFL works on any PDA including the PALM variety.]
The program is by cellica, is sold as a companion product to the Body For Life challenge and enables you to plan your next days exercise and meal schedule. It acts as a reminder while at the gym and enables you to record body measurements and then displays charts of your performance. So far I have found it to be really intuitive, although there is a brief manual included. It is fairly easy to modify as well, so you can for example store details of your typical meals so that it can determine protein, carb and fat consumption etc. This is a real time saver, particularly as I seem to have a fairly short repertoire of acceptable meals at the moment.
It is early days but so far it is proving to be incredibly useful and I strongly recommend it to anyone on the program as it saves writing out your daily meal plans and updating stacks of excel spreadsheets.
