iPhone apps
iPhones are pretty popular these days and I must admit to loving mine! I use it everyday for lots of things, including my fitness! So I thought I would share which apps I am currently using and let you know what I think! Feel free to post recommendations and reviews yourselfs in the comments section so I can find some more to try out!
1. Runkeeper
This is my most used application on my iPhone. I use it everyday to track my runs/walks and absolutely love it. I enter in my intervals for training which I get from online sites - like the c25k and bridge to 10k programs and hit the streets with my playlist selected! At the end of each run (or even during!) it tells me where I went on a map, how far I went, and my speed/rate for the whole thing, or during intervals. And it publishes to facebook and twitter! Now there are plenty of apps that will let you do that, but Runkeeper seems to have the greatest potential to use more functionality if I get more into my running, I barely even look at the website but there is so much on there which I haven't even thought of using yet! I am just waiting now to be able to integrate my polar heart rate monitor with runkeeper. One of the other apps has just added this feature (but not with the polar hrm) so I expect it will be some time in the next 12mths!
What I love though, is when I get an email saying that I have run more kilometers this week then ever before or something like that! Totally cool!
2. TargetWeight.
Now I am looking at something to log my wieght and I found this which is fantastic - only wish it had measurements as well! I might go look now and see what I can find! I do like this one though as it keeps it nice and simple! I just enter my weight each day and it graphs it, and positions me on a BMI chart (today I just went from orange (overweight) into green (healthy)!
3. Body Body.
I have just downloaded this and it looks fun! It is a tracker (will replace the above one if it is good) that allows you to choose what you track.. I've started with weight and waistline! The bmi seems to be out.. 24.97 is showing as overweight though I am sure the cut-off is 25. The language is a bit out as well e.g. says 'remained' instead of remaining but the writer is Japanese I believe so English would be second language. The layout is sooo adorable though! It is also password protected and allows up to 7 people - so you can record height and weight for your kids as they grow as well! I'm thinking this is a keeper!
I have a few more apps which I don't really use much so I won't bother putting them in here until I start to use them more regularly!

Setting Some Goals
Time to set some goals and make some plans!
Weight is pretty obvious - I want to lose about 10kg to get me down to 50kg. It is within my ideal weight zone, and given my small frame, it is probably more my maximum healthy weight! Now the hard part is working on the time frame for achieving this. At half a kilo a week, it will take 20 weeks. If I set my start day as Jan 1, 2011, then that will take me until the end of May. Not bad timing really as the next 12wbt challenge ends on May 14th but we have holidays planned for the two weeks prior to that! Hopefully I will make it a good camping holiday with lots of exercise!
So the plan:
27th Dec 60kg
3rd Jan
10th Jan 59kg
17th Jan
Preseason Begins
24th Jan 58kg
31st Jan (Kids back to school; Dyllan's B'day)
7th Feb 57kg
14th Feb (Holidays; Party for Dyllan)
1/ 21st Feb 56kg
2/ 28th Feb
3rd Mar (Graduation)
3/ 7th Mar 55kg
4/ 14th Mar
5/ 21st Mar 54kg
6/ 28th Mar (PhD begins)
3rd Apr (Cam's B'day)
7/ 4th Apr 53kg
8/ 11th Apr
16th Apr (School holidays begin)
9/ 18th Apr 52kg
10/ 26th Apr (School starts back)
11/ 2nd May 51kg (Holidays)
5th May (Vanessa's B'day)
12/ 9th May
16th May 50kg (End Challenge)
So that is all the major stuff but I want to focus on the next month in particular.
In the next four weeks I shall:
Lose 2kg so that I will weigh-in at 58kg for the 21st Jan (Pre-season start)
I will acheive this by:
Beginning the ease into 10k program and get up to week four (weeks 1-3 will be my first week of running, then week 4,5, and 6 will be three runs each over three weeks);
Doing strength training twice a week;
Things to do now:
[done] enter the 10k program into runkeeper (first 6 weeks)
work out a strength training programing for myself
set alarms in my iPhone!
Weekly Schedule:
Mon: Running
Tues: Strength
Wed: Running
Thurs: Strength
Fri: Yoga
Sat: Swimming (am); Running (pm)
Sun: Rest Day
Okay, so now I will head off and do what I need to do!
Food Today:

apple
egg and lettuce sandwich (wholegrain bread; no butter)
Beef and Mushroom stirfry and pasta (oyster sauce)
several cup of teas!
