"You can find out how many calories you burned by becoming an Elite Member."
Translation: Spend more money on running.
Ha! I know I've burned hella calories. The new scrubs I bought are already hobo baggy. I'm always starving. Ok, not starving. I exaggerate. I'm always hungry. The scale isn't moving, I'm just hungry and my clothes are loose. I'm burning a lot of calories.
Dear Runkeeper,
I love you for helping me feed my brain. I now use a Forerunner 110 GPS watch to help me know my pace and my distance. I still manually enter my miles into Runkeeper and I also plug the minutes into myfitnesspal (either with the laptop or smartphone. Why? Hello. I'm Michelle and I'm an addict. I'll going to obsess over something. I know myself pretty well. It's either this (tracking my progress) or I'll spend my days and nights riding the Serotonin to Dopamine Express, armed with Hershey bars purchased with a ticket heavily discounted on the shame market.
I choose numbers.
So I'm going to pass on your offer to take my money and do the math for me. I've got this.
No Thanks,
M
