Keeping off the belly.

So I've put on a bit of weight since I got back from Iraq, which was to be expected. Catching up with friends, eating out all the time, etc., will certainly take its toll on you. I've been doing some light workouts, as the scale called attention to my increasing weight. No bueno. Anyway, got a new toy in the mail today - a new pair of running shoes, as mine are from Iraq and nearly a year old. What came with it was a little sensor that wirelessly connects to my iPod, and monitors my distance and speed and such. A graph from today's run:

I thought it was kinda neat. I like technology, so I figure that by setting goals through Nike Plus, it might encourage me to keep them. That, and I like visualizing the work I've done. Sweet.

Fantastic! I like it! I'm still doing the Nordic Track and walking every other night with Mom. Did over 5 miles on Tuesday.

Jameson, this is a really good idea! You'll have to let me know how it goes because I've been meaning to start this type of program for awhile. Best of luck!
