Soooo...I hope everyone in blog land had a Merry Christmas. Mine wasn't bad. I got an new iPod Touch which was totally exciting. I had one before, but it was not big enough to hold all my music and all my apps I use for weight loss and running. Wondering what those are??? I use Weight Tracker which holds tons of stats including weight, running time, miles, waist measurements, and tons of other stuff. This is one of my favorite apps because it also shows your progress as you set goals. The other one I use regularly is the Couch to 10k app. I started this one after I graduated from the Couch to 5k app for the second time. Like the Couch to 5k app, it alternates between walking and running. It is a pretty cool tool to help you gradually run further.
Anyway so I got this new iPod...super exciting huh??? Yeah, but there is one problem...I gave my old one to my fourteen year old daughter. No, that isn't the problem...the problem is that I told her she could go ahead and restore the factory settings. This, of course, deletes everything on the iPod...including all my stats in Weight Tracker. Basically, I lost my running log. No big deal, right?? Big deal to me. I have been really upset about it. I was looking forward to seeing how many miles I have gone since I started running in March of this year. I was going to set my mileage goal for 2012 based on that. Bummed....that is all I can say.
I still have goals for 2012. To run at least six 10k races, lose those last 17 pounds, and now to keep a running log in two places instead of just on my iPod. Lesson learned....but I am sure there are many more for me right around the corner. I hope everyone has a great and healthy 2012. Chubby girl...out!
