Nope, I didn't fixed my sleeping, I'm working hard to make it worse! Instead to go to bed early, I stayed up late watching series... one more night

The collateral damage is that I'm messing with my caffeine adiction which I had under control, but now the lack of sleep means that I need 1 or 2 cups of coffee to not to fall asleep at work.

I had another busy day. Today I wore a cross pattern skirt, something like this but not too short

My coworker, the smelly guy, had to do a comment, as usual

It was something stupid like "Oh.. you are so religious today" I mumbled "go away Satanas" and I left the office, a little pissed and feeling uncomfortable. He doesn't do the same to the other girl who works with us. Annoying! Maybe I'm overreacting, I don't know.

Another coworker who has an iPhone asked me if I tried Facetime. I told him I don't know what Facetime is then he explained to me it's an app for videocalls, better than skype or whatsapp. He said I should have the app installed on my phone but we could not find it. I looked for the app on the App Store but I could not get it. I changed the country from my Apple ID but nothing. I was getting pissed. I researched on Internet then I found this: "FaceTime isn’t available or might not appear on some iPhones and iPads purchased or used in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and United Arab Emirates, including Dubai." Ya.. I got my iPhone from Dubai

I installed an app for fitness called Workout Trainer because Samsung health app doesn't show the training plans in the iPhone. I wanted to try a training today but I felt so down when I got home, then I just layed down in the bed and messed with the app. It has pics to explain the exercises but not videos. I would prefer an app with videos, and also a free app. If anyone knows a good app like that please let me know.
After being lazy for a while I did 1 hour bike while reading the journals.

I'm ready now to go to bed to watch 1 episode of Arrow and to sleep late like usual. If you are still awake, go outside and look at the moon... it's so beautiful tonight! I tried to take pics with the iPhone camera but they are not good.

I found in Samsung Store an app to track my activity which is very very complete, I love it! It's called Samsung Health and it tracks better than Google Fit the step I walk. There I can track my sleep hours, eating, workouts, the cup of coffee I drink, the glass of water, etc. You can also set goals and join training programs. Everything for free .
It shows where I walk, distance, calories burned, longest activity time, speed, and other info. If you want you can add images and notes to the walking entry.

I'm very interested in the option to track my eating. I know it is bad although I do not eat junk food. I can search every food, snack, drink I have in the list and also choose in the different varieties of any item. It will count the calories and nutrient it has and track it. My nutrient balance is very bad by the way. It recomend for my profile 1700 Cal so let's see if this changes when it tracks all my activity.

About my sleep I set a goal of 7:30 hours that I know I won't get for now because there is so much I want to study, learn and to do.

Yesterday after work I had some things to do so I walked more than usual and I did 15k steps or more because I installed the app after left work, which means it could not track the steps I did at morning. I came back home after 9 p.m., ate pizza and went to bed to waste my time on instagram. I wanted to work but i felt very tired because walking so much.

There are my records from yesterday:

I felt asleep by 3 am and woke up this morning at 10.30 hours. I had to go so I compared my walking in both applications and this is what they say: Google Fit shows I did 7165 steps and walked 5.09km, Samsung Health shows I did 9108 steps and walked 6.85 km. I already knew that Google fit miss steps because I checked it counting by myself the steps I do in a block and comparing it with the appl. I checked if Samsung app miss steps and it doesn't miss, maybe few steps until the app detect that I started to walk but it is not a big difference.

I joined a circuit training called Muscle Endurance Building, for 3 days in a week with a duration of 14 min daily. The application shows how to do the exercises with a video. I like it.

So far I am very pleased with this application and all its fuctions and rewards system is a good motivation to keep you in movement.

I installed an app on my cellphone to improve my talking. It's called "English Conversation" and I like it so much! it's simple and efective. It has a lot of conversations that you can listen to and then you choose a person to replace. You can also record the conversation then few weeks later you can hear it to check if you have improved your talking. Each conversation has a quiz to check your understanding. I did the first convo today, how awful is listening to myself talking so bad!! but it's ok, I'll become better soon

I see that the app I installed to register my physical activity show me how many calories I burn even doing the basical bodily functions. So I was wonder how many calories I should eat. I've never worried about diets, calories, weight, etc. so I had no idea about it. I got some calculator online and it says I should eat 2000 calories to keep my weight and 1500 if I want to lose 1.1lbs in a week.

So, how to know how many calories I eat every day? My first thought was: if coffee has so many calories I'm really fucked up, so I researched about that and.... it has not calories!!!!!

if I add coffecream: 20 kcal. sugar 30 kcal. So, drinking 3 cups of coffee at work = 90 kcal. Coffee I drink at home at weekends: 50 kcal each.

I researched the calories of all the food I eat and I think I eat less than 1500-1600 kcal every day, maybe it explains why I don't get fat and why I'm always tired when I try to do workout. The app shows I burn 1400-1500 kcal every day this week. Not sure if it's ok that I eat the same than I burn, if this healthy?
Anyway I won't start to calculate the calories of every single thing I eat, I was just curious about the numbers the app shows.

Today I didn't go to work for health issues so I've been working on the website. I setted a lot of things. I will keep working on it this weekend, I want finish it fast to get the payment. Tomorrow I work just until 2pm then I don't go to work until Monday because Easter

A friend told me about some app to earn money filling survey. I instaled it on my 2 cellphones and earned 4usd in just 5 days. The surveys usually pay 1usd but sometimes you can get surveys wich pay 5usd. They pay by paypal every time you complete a survey (it can take 1 or 3 days sometimes, or few hours). I checked what functions the app uses from my phone and it use just the storage (because they will make you add a picture or video always) and contacts.
If someone wanna try it, the application is called Streetbees, and you can also add my referral code 9113LC (not sure if you get something for it but anyway you can install the app without enter any referral code)
I was about to install another app wich everybody say they really pay but when I checked, before download it, the permissions that you have to give to the app I changed my mind, because that app get the control of ALL your phone, even mic and camera. No thanks.
In the other hand today I sold some stuff in the auction website, and I still have a lot of products to post.
Talking about money, 2 coworkers (fat boy and ex sales manager) will start a new service business together and they want I make the website, newsletter, etc.

I need to make time to start studying English again, and to practise it. It will help me with business too.

I'm cooking spinach pie for dinner, it taste delicious! After eat I will play a little with Michael then sleep.

I found this application for Android called Eljay to update journals like Livejournal, Dreamwidth, deadjournal and Insanejournal.
The style options when you create a post are just Bold and Italic. You can add a link and 'Read More'. Crossposting works. You can link an user too. But I don't see an option to add images. There is the only bad thing I found so fat. If anyone know how to add a pic please let me know.
