Travel tends to throw some people out of whack. Maybe it’s because you can’t follow your normal daily routine while you’re on the road. Or maybe it’s just too easy to be seduced into blowing off your diet and exercise routine until you’re back among familiar surroundings. In either case, traveling 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 not exercising and eating right.

How Not to Fail With Your Fitness Goals
It really seems like we often set ourselves up for failure when it comes to our goals, and we are hard on ourselves when we don't reach them. Does this sound about accurate to you? I'm sharing a few strategies on how to not fail your fitness goals this year. Go Where You're Welcome I'm not going to say that your local gym has to be a place where everybody knows your name, but it should be a place where you feel comfortable working out. An inclusive, non-judgmental gym is so important, don't ...

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.

Goals
There will be no minor goals for me this year—in 2012, I'll be going all-in! I've had so many major life changes last year that I've been forced to think about where I want my life to go, what I like and don't like and everything in between. I'm physically in a place I never imagined myself being again—in my old hometown, and Greg's birthplace of Calgary, Alberta. There isn't any point regretting the decision to move here; I want to just make the best of it . I am going to be focusing a lot ...
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 ...
