I realize this is mostly a tech blog, but I do have a few personal categories on here, including one for Fitness. For those of you that don't know me personally, my fitness journey started a few years ago after losing my son Bryan. Last year, I decided to start doing triathlons as a way [...]
My final triathlon race of 2018 has come and gone already. Last Sunday I finished the Chicago Triathlon International Distance, albeit a shortened run due to the heat and humidity. Two days later and I'm still recovering with some sore muscles but I still had a great time at the race. A little background leading [...]
If you've been following my triathlon-filled summer of 2018, you'll know that I finished the Experience Triathlon Batavia Sprint and Lake Zurich Sprint. I'm officially hooked on triathlons. Sometimes I doubt myself and get anxiety, but I still can't get over the feeling when I cross the finish line. This past weekend I completed the [...]
I completed my second sprint triathlon yesterday and I still have a long ways to go before I feel comfortable at every leg. I picked up my packet and attended a Course Talk on Saturday with my wife since I had to work on Friday. We loved the layout of the park and she decided [...]
My Fitness Journey has been a long one with its ups and downs. I've written some posts over the years and I'll go through stages where I'm committed to diet and exercise and other times where its not so much. I think there are a lot of people out there that can relate. My wife [...]

Over the years I've written a few fitness posts, including some personal reviews of different fitness trackers ranging from Fitbit to the Apple Watch. My family has been into fitness for a while now and we've used a number of fitness trackers. Our Fitbit lineup includes: Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, and the [...]
My FitBit History As most of you know, I've been a FitBit user for almost 2 years now. I started off using the Flex, then upgraded to the Charge, and my wife even had the Surge. I have experience with all 3 of these fitness trackers. I've written a few fitness articles and even called [...]
I first joined FitBit in 2013 when I bought my Flex wristband. I enjoyed it that I bought my wife one shortly afterwards then her daughter bought one as well. We've all used the Flex wristbands with minimal issues. We've had a couple of bands crack on us around the display window but the Flex [...]
A friend of mine recently posted a question on Facebook about trying to lose weight and net calories. If you have a calorie goal of 2000 calories per day and you exercise and burn 1000 calories, does that mean you have to eat 3000 calories now, or still focus on your goal of 2000 calories? [...]
