Your Fast Food Workout Plan

A good starting point to deciding if you indulge in a McDs, how much time you’ll need to spend burning it off..

You’re hungry, and you’re in a hurry – so you grab a burger, a taco, or a burrito. But before you take a bite, think about it: You’ll need to exercise a lot to burn off those calories. Even the options that seem light – the smaller burger, the breakfast sandwich, the wrap – are more fattening than you might think.So how much havoc can a fast food meal wreak on your otherwise healthy diet? We’ve crunched the numbers, compiled the calorie counts, and even created a simple interactive calculator so you find out exactly how much exercise it would take for you to work off each meal. Here’s to making healthy choices!

Am I the only one who is the slightest bit suspicious by this convenient “heart attack” – just a couple of months after he resigned and soon after the scandal really took hold?

Had been snowing last night, so a slow careful run today.

Haven’t done much posting and not much running recently, weather being cold so when I finally do run, it’s usually a relatively short distance. Will need to re-work on that :/

Goodbye Nike+

I’ve spent a long time using Nike+, their Fuel Band and then their GPS Sportswatch, but now, it’s time to end that relationship.

I’ve recently had immense trouble connecting to their servers via their app and uninstalling, reinstalling even clearing the cache doesn’t help. Tethering my phone and accessing the site itself from my laptop gave me the same error, even on Incognito/Private mode.

Nike and Three (my MNO) bounced me back and worth between each other — both blaming the other. Nike saying it was an MNO problem, and Three saying it was Nike’s servers, and that they were able to replicate my issue on multiple devices on different networks. Neither accepting responsibility.

Since Nike+ is the only fitness activity tracking site having this problem (Fitbit, for example, does not have any issues), I am now ditching using Nike+.

In other news, I got this badge from Fitbit — the Africa Badge, for walking 8,046 km – the length of Africa.
