When my brother and I started blogging some 3 years ago, it was for me a way to share stuff related to health and training. Strength training is a passion and since we started [more] seriously in 2000, I’ve always enjoyed researching and experimenting in this field.

For years I’ve stepped on the personal scale and log my body weight in my training log. When I got the habit of calculating my fat percentage, I then started a spreadsheet to keep the data and have basic formulas automation. At some point, I got this great idea to build a web application that would allow me to automate even more the process. And why not offer this application to everybody?

The project of building a web application, available for anybody wanting to follow their body weight online, was born.

Then, I was looking for a name. After giving it some thoughts, I made a link with “Key Performance Indicators”, used in the financial world. But I mixed the order of the letters by mistake and I end up with Body Key Indicators or BKI.

I went further a little… I was also looking for a tagline. I don’t exactly remember how I made it, but the “I, in my body” was there. And where this is becoming funny is if I take “BKI” and “I in”, mix them together, I end up with “bikini” (BiKinI)!

The last thing about bathing suit is more a joke than anything. I never tried to use it. Should I?

I will explained how I made the logo in a next post.

Finally, please note that the web application is still just a project… Hopefully, we’ll find some time to build it!

Until next post, Lift Consciously
