FuelShamed or Forgotten in the Drawer?
Our Weight Loss Guide pointed to a column from Jenna Wortham in the New York Times about her experience with the Nike+ FuelBand. At first she was "FuelShamed" if she wasn't getting enough activity for it to glow in rainbow colors and do the happy dance when she met her goal. But she grew disillusioned with its lack of precision and eventually it has ended up in a drawer rather than on her wrist.

Fit But Fat? The Fitness Counts
Is there such a thing as being both fit and fat and having the same lower health risks as ideal weight individuals? A new study of over 43,000 people found that there is a "fit obese" type of person, and they are at no greater risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer or all-cause mortality than similarly fit normal weight people. They had substantially reduced risks from non-fit obese people -- 30% to 50% less risk of those major death risks than non-fit obese people.

Listen While You Walk?
Have you listened to any good books lately? An AT&T ad that airs frequently during the Olympic coverage shows a runner out for his long training run listening to classic audiobooks. I always listen to podcasts or audiobooks when I'm walking solo, as well as in the car on my way to enjoy a walk (or work, whatever!) The miles fly by with a good book in my ear, especially this time of year when I'm getting in my weekly long slow distance walk for my marathon or half marathon training. They can also help beat treadmill boredom.

Protect Yourself from West Nile Virus When Walking
West Nile Virus is back in the news, with 48 states reporting a total of 1590 human cases and 66 deaths for 2012 as of August 28, according to the CDC. That's up 40% in a week. The virus is spread by mosquito bites, and as an outdoors walker that is a concern. Mosquitoes love me, so I keep insect repellent handy if I'm going to be walking in an area where I'm likely to get bitten. I've switched from DEET-based sprays to picaridin-based spray. It is almost as effective, yet is odorless and non-greasy. High concentrations of DEET can also eat through some fabrics, whereas picaridin does not.
Top Picks for Insect Repellents for Walkers: including clothing that repels bugs.
