Things of Interest

Things that caught my interest this week:

1. FitBit.  Apparently this product (http://www.fitbit.com/) is worn on your body.  It sounds like a pedometer on steroids.  It records distance and calories burned plus keeps track of how long it takes for you to fall asleep.  Then it records how many times you wake up during the night.  This information can be downloaded to your computer.  Like I said, a multitasking little gadget.

2.  A Timer:  On Dr. OZ a lady said she used a kitchen timer to set every 3 or 4 hours to remind her when to eat a snack or meal.  Freed up her mind to not have to think about food in between.That might be something I'll try.

3.  Mighty Leaf!  Chocolate mint truffle tea.  Does that not sound like something to try?   It definitely did to me and boy am I glad!!  I found it at Whole Foods in Vegas.

4.  Strechy Bands.  I saw someone somewhere using one and it reminded me I have some.  I got one out and have been using it .  I use it when I am sitting at my computer.  I stretch something  (leg, arm, or arms) while I read  articles, blogs, newspapers, whatever.  One of the times, I can workout a little at a time.  In order for this to work, for me exercise has to be incorporated in my daily life. 

There is so much information out there.  Sometimes you can learn at lot by just paying attention .  It's good to find things to think about, even if it is only for a minute or two.

My Dad always told me: "Pay attention, you might learn something".  He was so right.

I can, I will!!
