Update!

Been awhile since I updated this blog so I though it was time I did so! Been much with work lately so time has not been around to write.

Since last I wrote I have reach a weight at around 84-85kg depending on what time of day I weigh myself.

I have also invested in a heart rate monitor to more accurately get a sense of calories burnt during my jogs. I decided on the Wahoo Tickr as it does work with Android, I'm not sure it does work with all android devices though so don't take my word for it. With my Nexus 5  however it works flawlessly.

At first I had to use the Wahoo app to track my jogs and then sync with Runkeeper but since the latest update of Runkeeper it can now pair with the Wahoo Tickr directly which is great and saves me a few steps in settings things up.

Running the same route as I have tracked countless times with Runkeeper before my calories burnt with the added data of the HR monitor seem to be a bit higher in general I guess as it has more data to work on to do a more just estimate.

So for the price you really can't go wrong with the Wahoo Tickr, if you are looking for a HR monitor to get more accurate data for your fitness progress. The only con I really can say is that the box does not state it actually work with some Android devices and just looking at it you would believe it only supports Apples line of phones.



I keep working hard on improving my fitness thru running and really love the progress I have achieved so far!


Keep running!
