Health, Wellness and Technology

Well, I am in that category that could stand to use more exercise and watch what I eat. My husband and I started eating healthier about one year ago. While he has lost quite a bit of weight, I have lost very little. However, the benefits of eating healthier and exercising has had other benefits by having more energy and just feeling better. Now that the weather is getting a bit cooler, I will continue my daily walks. I find that I don't really benefit from cardio coaches as I like the time walking to reflect on my day, my children's schedules and things that I seldom have time to pause and reflect upon in my busy world. While I would be interested in tracking food, calories, etc., I found the Nutrition Data site to be too complicated and not directed to my needs. Most of the food listed was fast food. I cook my family's meals each night and just wanted more simple, general foods to track, such as roasted chicken, squash, okra, etc. I generally keep technology out of my workouts as I enjoy the peace and solitude of exercising without technology. I have to admit though, that DDR can be quite fun and good exercise, too.
