  • This app was great because it stopped me from getting bored and seemed to make my run go by very quickly. I am not sure about the accuracy of the GPS, but I've only completed one level and I wasn't running any other apps to compare distance. They could cut out some.of the narrative, but every time I noticed my mind…
  • I would use all of these suggestions and see which activities can hold your attention, then include 2 or 3 of them into the routine. Someone mentioned how important what you eat is, and this will become even more true as you exercise. I know it is much easier for me to hit my food goals if I am exercising, because it is so…

  • I am trying to get some control over my late night snacking as well. The other day I logged a fruit and yogurt parfait for my afternoon snack, but only ate half and put the rest in the fridge. I ate the second half for my late night snack. It was "free" since I'd already logged the entire thing that afternoon, and it…
  • Exercise always lifts my mood. When I am really stressed out and am trying to juggle too much, I try to fit in a long walk by myself. This means I am not taking calls, texts or emails during that time. It gives me the opportunity to clear my head, organize my thoughts and develop a plan of action. It usually takes me about…
  • Last weekend was a sodium heavy weekend for me. Upon weighing myself on Monday morning, I'd gained four lbs. By Wednesday morning, I'd lost it all. Just watch your sodium, drink plenty of water, and work up a a good sweat.
