It's Spring!!!  That means lots of garden activity........... with Activity being the key word..... well, perhaps eating somewhat differently as well????   If I look back over my data since Dec, it's easy to tell which months I find a struggle!  I'm hoping knowing this might help me alittle over the next 12 months.
Here we are back on the "Let's try to get started again" wheel!   Fitting in exercise and walking over cold windy and icy winter days didn't go so well!  I also find it difficult to work out how to actually incorporate exercise into my "working " days since I have to travel 40 mins each way to get to work and home.  So rather than dwell toooooooo much on the negatives, I'm working on getting the exercise into my "at home and about" days!! 

This week I went out seaching to purchase a pedometer that I'd be happy with.  I've bought a few of the cheap ones which work for just a short time or just don't work period!  In my travels I came across a cute little gadget called a "Fitbit".............. I have to say that I've fallen in love with it!!  It works as a pedometer, but also counts flights of stairs, calories burned, works as a stop watch, keeps track of the time on a 24hr clock and also can track your sleep patterns!!  It uploads onto a web based program which gives you goals to meet and the battery gets charged by placing it on a docking station at the computer (mine is "docked" while I'm sitting here blogging!).  Having said that, the battery will last for approx 5 - 7 days so it says before needing a recharge!  The program also allows for you to enter in your foods you've eaten and keeps track of calories or kj's.  I'm finding the entering of food is not going so well for me......... but I do love the way it keeps track of my daily steps etc!  I would also add that I can wear this little gadget without feeling like it's there, which is kinda nice!  The only downfall I've found so far is that when I travel in the ute to work it seems to think I've walked up 12 flights of steps!!!!!.............. Yeah right!!!!!   I wouldn't need to be wearing it if that were the case LOL.
Now while I would love to leave with a pic........... my stupid camera (or maybe it's the laptop).... I can't get my photos off my camera onto my laptop at present!!!!   Did I say GRRRRRRRR.
Meantime, let's hope you all have a great day................ oh, and just incase you happen to pop by here.............. you might want to check out  a new blog I've started  www.the7pillarshome.blogspot.com     Hugs to all,  Sharm
