A Walk/Jog with a New Fitness Tracker and A New Album from Day Six!
So last week I was searching on Amazon for fitness trackers. The main problem was that I wanted a tracker that had a heart rate monitor and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I discovered the Letscom Smart Bracelet. It does just about everything my Fitbit Charge HR does (except count floors) and does it for around $ 27.00.

Shadow of Death (Brady Coyne #21) – William G Tapply
Ok so here we are in February and I still have not formalized my 2018 Reading Challenges. The only thing that I do know is my goal is to read 65 books in 2018. Additionally I want at least 25 of them to come from my “to be read bookshelves” I’m actually close to having everything worked out and should be able to post the formal challenges this week.

A Weekend of Strong Workouts With a Charged Fitbit!
A Recharged Fitbit Recharges My Workouts and Me!
The other day I wrote that it’s not as much fun to exercise without a Fitbit. It’s more fun when you are exercising to see how many calories you’ve burned. After that post, I pulled out my daughter’s old Fitbit sans the part that holds the recharge chord onto the Fitbit.
The Unexpected President Paints a New Picture of Chester A Arthur!
The Unexpected President: The Life and Times of Chester A. Arthur
Ok quickly tell me everything you learned in history class about President Chester A Arthur. I’ll wait! I bet your done aren’t you? So I imagine that you said ” He became President after James A Garfield was assassinated” or maybe even “he was responsible for Civil Service reform.” I imagine that because that’s just about all I knew about him until I read The Unexpected President: The Life and Times of Chester A. Arthur by Scott S. Greenberger earlier this month.An additional tag line on the front of the book reads “A Gilded Age tale of corruption and courage” and that well sums up the book and the story of “Chet” Arthur. It is actually a pretty fascinating tale and Mr. Greenberger tells it well!
The Demon Crown – Science, History and Action Collide!
The Demon Crown – James Rollins Sigma Force #13
The Demon Crown is Book # 13 in the Sigma Force series from James Rollins. I think it just may be the best book in the series. I have written before that I love books that not only are good stories, but also teach me something new. Well, James Rollins does that just about as well as anyone writing today.
Cranking Up My Daily Workouts – Without a Fitbit!
I Miss My Fitbit
Okay I’ll admit it, I miss my Fitbit Charge HR. After my first Fitbit finally fell apart for good, I received another. I threatened to switch to a Garmin to get it though. The second one also fell apart. Then it died when it froze trying to update the software. Finally, when my daughter Elizabeth upgraded to a Fitbit Blaze, she gave me her Charge HR. That Fitbit has also fallen apart. So I am without a Fitbit or any other Fitness Tracker. As a result, I have not been working out as much! Actually,the lack of a Fitbit is probably just a convenient excuse!
