1. Â On Monday I went to the doctor for a physical exam. Â All went well. Â I mentioned a little bump in my face (close to the cheek) and some minor pain in my knees. Â She recommended a sports medicine doctor for the knee pain. Â She mentioned that I am down 11 lbs. from last year. Â What? Â I remember last year my mom asked if I was pregnant so I guess I was on the heavy side. Â Still no word on my blood results to check for diabetes and cholesterol results.
2. Â Last week at the RnR Chicago Half Marathon expo I purchased the Fitbit Zip. Â It is a small gadgets that tracks steps, distance and calories and syncs them to my phone. The goal is to walk 10,000 steps each day and yesterday I walked 4,410 steps or 1.92 miles. Â I am not sure if I should wear it while I run because I also track those miles and I feel like I am double counting. Â Right? Â I can’t wait to use it when I am back at school. Â For sure it will be more than 10,000 steps.

3.  I love chocolate and enjoy a protein shake after my workout.  After reading Katie’s blog at Live Half Full and mentioning About Time, I just had to try it.  I ordered the trial pack (chocolate and chocolate mint) and loved it.  I then purchased a container from Amazon.  What I love even more are the ingredients.  Try it.

Just Keep Running!

I love About Time!!! So good- no funny aftertaste or texture.
Yay for weight loss! Good luck with the 10,000 steps goal (outside of running)! Have a good day!
Me too. Thanks for the recommendation/suggestion.
Thank you.
Have you tried any other fitness trackers? Curious how it compares to something like the Nike Fuelband.
No, I have not.
