Healthkit

Being the computer nerd that I am, and given that I need to get back on track after the post expedition weight gain, I have decided to start playing with the iOS 8's Health App. 

At first there were no apps available that worked with the Healthkit. I guess some bug in Apple's stuff. But no there are some apps available so I can start.

So I downloaded the latest version of the Strava app so I can get my ride data in. Next step on the scale and get my weight, % body fat, % lean. Then take out the old Walgreens blood pressure device and get a blood pressure and heart rate. Humm, haven't used that in awhile, add new batteries and ready to go. Finally a calorie counting app. I have used About.com's Calorie Counter in the past, but don't see that it is hooked up with Healthkit yet. Looks like I used MyFitnessPal's calorie counter in the past also, and it is hooked to the Healthkit. So that is my new calorie app. 

After eating breakfast and entering it into MyFitnessPal, and with all my goals set, it is time to go for a ride. I've got a few places I need to go and things I need to get done, and with no car available it make a great reason to go for a ride.

I just like to ride my bike.
