Little Christmas throw back picture for this post tonight.
So finished up my last workout for the week and the week went something like this:
Monday: Swim 100x25m
Tuesday: Swim 90x25m
Wednesday: Day Off
Thursday: Bike 42 min 20.5km + 5k run right after the bike
Friday: Swim 90x25m
Saturday: Bike 39min 20.5km + weights
Sunday: 7k run
Not to shabby I guess, if only i wasnt off setting all the exercise with the christmas baking that i have been doing haha. Have worked this weeks schedule around christmas, its what jesus would want haha.
I have been researching fitness tracking devices with some great opinions from facebook friends last week.
I have got it down to 3: FitBit, Jawbone and the Suunto mega super tracker.
Having read all the reviews, and done all the pricing for what I am going to need it for just getting started I think i am going to go with a fitbit. The one they are set to release looks like it will have everything i need for the short and medium term. My wishlist is for the suunto ambit3. Aside from flossing it will pretty much do everything in the way of tracking but for me the cost is just a little beyond what i am prepared to spend. Thanks again to all the folks that wrote it with their experiences and thoughts, it was greatly appreciated.
The last thing i will leave you with a speech from one of my favorite Christmas movies, def in the top 5, the top being:
Christmas Story
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Miracle on 34th Street
Scrooged
Die Hard
From the King, Bill Murray -
It's Christmas Eve. It's the one night when we all act a little nicer. We...we smile a little easier. We...we...share a little more. For a couple of hours we are the people we always hoped we would be. It's really a miracle because it happens every Christmas Eve. And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it. I know. You have to do something. You have to take a chance and get involved. There are people that don't have enough to eat and who are cold. You can go and greet these people. Take an old blanket out to them or make a sandwich and say, "Here." "l get it now." And if you give, then it can happen, the miracle can happen to you. Not just the poor and hungry, Everybody's gotta have this miracle! It can happen tonight for you all! If you believe in this pure thing, the miracle will happen and you'll want it again tomorrow! You won't say, "Christmas is once a year and it's a fraud." It's not! It can happen every day! You've just got to want that feeling! You'll want it every day! It can happen to you! I believe in it now. I believe it's gonna happen to me, now. I'm ready for it! And it's great. It's a good feeling. It's better than I've felt in a long time. I'm ready. Have a Merry Christmas. Everybody.
