Can Using the Modius Headset Honestly Benefit Your Health? This Is My 8-Week Diary

Week Three with the Modius Headset

February 14: My mom was in the hospital for the past 6 days battling flu and pneumonia; I was the one who stayed with her, and I didn’t remember to bring the Modius headset with me when I packed. Even though I felt like I was eating more than normal, it turns out that I didn’t really gain anything. I’m back on the headset now, though.

Week Four with the Modius Headset

February 18: I’m back on track, wearing the headset every day. I seem to be yo-yo-ing between 148 and 151 pounds, which is annoying. Honestly, it’s probably water weight; I’m one of those people who can go up or down a few pounds due to water weight without even blinking. Annoying.

My fat percentage is still in the 33% range, and it doesn’t seem to be budging.

I haven’t been able to ride my bike because it’s been too windy; hopefully, I’ll get an opportunity this week.

I don’t want to come across as bummed out, but I do wish I was seeing some positive change, and I do wish I hadn’t missed those 6 days. Ah well. Hopefully, this week will be better. I am still falling asleep easily and sleeping really soundly, and since that was happening well before our new mattress arrived, I’m going to say that it’s because of the Modius headset. I’m now using the Sleep Number SleepIQ app to track my sleep rather than the Withings (Nokia) Aura.

Week Five with the Modius Headset

February 28: I just got back from Mobile World Congress early this morning; I didn’t use the headset while I was gone — call me cautious, but since I have to return it, I didn’t want to take a chance of losing it or having it stolen overseas. I’m back on track, though.

Oddly enough, I didn’t feel the need to snack every five minutes while I was traveling, I’m still enjoying the benefits of falling asleep quickly (no insomnia!), and I didn’t feel like I ate overly large meals when I was hungry. I don’t have any more overseas trips planned until April, so I should be able to finish out the next three weeks without interruptions. I didn’t gain or lose any weight while in Madrid and Barcelona, and that’s saying a lot because the food and wine were really good. 😉
