Techie Tuesday - BodyMedia Fit

This is my new favorite gadget: http://www.bodymedia.com/

It is a really cool way to keep track of calories in vs. calories out.  You wear your armband, and it monitors various things like your heart rate, how many calories you burn, how much sleep you actually get (if you wear it while sleeping).

then, at the end of your day, you plug it into your computer via USB (or they have the new Bluetooth model that you can sync wirelessly with your phone or PC) and it stores it in an activity tracker (they have a scaled down version of it in app form for you phone that talks to the web version too so you can always know where you are at in your calory intake or you can add your calories via your phone while you are out to eat.

Here is what the web aplication looks like:

Overview of your day:

Then you can expand sections to see more details like your calories consumed (this is from Saturday):
or your activity for the day:  (this was on Saturday when I took a Zumba class from 9-10AM)

I love this thing.
