Elliptical Review
Rather than following my initial plan of delving into research articles about winter blues, vitamin D, and how to maintain an exercise regime during the winter months, this post will serve as a basic update on the future of my blog and a few things going on in my life. I tend not to share personal experiences that can't be easily applied towards incorporating benefits for my readers, but I hope that you are able to take something from the brief summary of the past few months of my life.
Before I get into that I want to comment on the layout and design of the above site. It is streamlined and serves to provide succinct and useful information in a usable format. Page loading speed is good and image formatting fits into the design. I like the use of gif images to display the ellipticals actually being used. Reviews.com has a lot of useful info on a wide range of topics that is worth a read.
Back in November, I changed my career from Health and Wellness (which is what my college degrees is based around) to a career in IT. While this was a big change, I have had multiple opportunities to gain experience in this field as well. I immediately started with a company in Pittsburgh working in a basic call center with a focus on ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices). Within a few months I was thankful to receive a promotion to IT support specialist and have been enjoying the new areas that I have my hands in.
I have been working towards eliminating all sources of added sugar in my diet without breaking the bank. The biggest struggle has been finding time to cook the healthy foods that I need to be eating. Gluten and dairy are completely out of my diet(aside from the occasional cheese splurge). I am on a spicy food kick and have been crushing taquitos, blazing doritos, and any type of hot sauce. Energy drinks continue to be my crutch but I have eliminated sugar sweetened versions.
Exercise has taken a backseat to nutrition and I am grateful if I am able to get to the gym 3 tmes a week at a meager 30mins per session. The nice part about this is that every workout is different and I am sore every time (I tend not to plan my workouts and just do exercises based of what body part feels like it is lagging).
Things have been busy to say the least but I do intend to continue posting health related content whenever I have the chance. I will update the exercise generator with new exercises as I find the time and hope that everyone is able to continue along their journey to optimal health!
