Random Ramblings..

I don't have any stellar post today, no pregnancy update.  I'm in survival mode right now.

My current semester of grad school wraps tomorrow with 2 finals and a massive paper so not much to say unfortunately.  I just have to tell myself only two more semesters to go!  I have about 5 posts that I've been dying to write so I'm hoping to get them out next week. 

Hopefully you're having a good week.  If you're crazy and stressed like I am, hang in there..hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

But in the meantime, one of my posts was nominated as "Best of the Blog" on Babble.com.  I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it if you'd head over there and "Like" the post (and maybe share if you're feeling generous). 

 
 
On another random note, I'm slightly obsessed with tracking things, numbers primarily and I'm thinking about investing in either the FitBit or the Nike Fuel Band to help me stay accountable post pregnancy.  What are your opinions?  Do you have one?  Which would you buy? It would be fun to buy both and compare/review them but sadly my budget doesn't allow for that but I really, really wanna.  :) Oh well.
 
Happy Thursday!  The weekend is only one day away!  ;)
 

How is your week going?

  1. I have actually never heard of either of those tools, but the fitbit looks especially interesting to me. I would love to hear how you like it and consider getting one myself post-pregnancy.

    Good luck on finals. When I graduated law school, someone asked if I might consider an MBA, and I gave a resounding "HECK NO" primarily because I do not want to take any more tests!

  2. I don't have either, but I did a TON of research, my favorite is actually the Jawbone up. The one thing it doesn't have is Lose It integration and that's what is holding me back from buying.

  4. Hang in there Katie! Good luck with your finals and paper. I liked your post on Babble too! It is a great one. I don't have a Fitbit or Nike Fuel Band but sounds like a great way to stay accountable post-pregnancy.

  5. Good luck with your Finals! I don't know much about either fitness tool, as I use a Garmin. But, I've heard good things about both. I'd love to check them out one day.

  6. I received a Nike fuel band as a gift, and every time I wear it I walk more steps and keep going further!!! It lights up when I meet my goal...a huge girlish plus. One other positive is the online community; you can connect w other Nike fuel users and compete! I'm sold....despite the "free" status.

  7. Yes, tomorrow is Friday. Hooray!
    I bought my husband a fuel band for his birthday last year and it was a total waste of money because he never uses it. So annoying. If it fit my wrist I would use it because I am obsessed with tracking things too!

  8. I reviewed the Fitbit Aria scale on my blog. The total bomb except it does not track your activity. I'm reviewing a watch/pedometer this week that is very cool! I hope the stress eases and things settle for you soon!
