In either case, travelling can be disorienting and stressful, and it’s very tempting to put that part of your life on hold until it’s all over and you’re left with no more excuses for ...
How Not to Fail With Your Fitness Goals

How are your Health & Fitness Goals Coming Along?
I've been eating a lot better since moving here from Vancouver—mostly because there is a full-sized kitchen to use. I have also been using my Ozeri 4x3motion Digital Pocket Pedometer to track the number of steps I take daily.

Ozeri 4x3motion Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer Review
I've mentioned before that since moving somewhere that actually has a winter, I've been having a hard time getting myself to get up and go out there for a run—but recently, Tazim picked up an Ozeri 4x3motion Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer. It was supposed to go in my stocking, but like the bad boy that I am, I wheedled my way into early access—and I'm glad I did. I've used a simple keychain-fob style pedometer from in the past—we liked it well enough but wondered what we'd get if we spent $5 ...
