Fitness trackers
Is it just me, or has anyone else been curious about all of the new fitness trackers out there? I just started a new job that involves me running around the ER following a physician for 8 hours a day, so I'm really curious how many steps I'm taking and how many calories I'm burning. There are gadgets at all price points, from basic pedometers to high-tech devices that track everything from your eating to your sleeping habits. Here are some fitness trackers I have my eye on:

Proceed with Caution
I say this because if you are a Diet Coke addict, like many of my friends (and often times myself) are, you may not want to hear this...
Men's Health recently wrote an article called "The Truth about Diet Soda". I think most people know that diet soda, though it has zero calories, is not good for you. Yet, many of us (ladies I'm talking to you) continue to choose it over regular soda/water/milk, drink it in disturbing quantities at ungodly hours but still consider ourselves relatively healthy. The article basically says that diet soda drinkers compared to regular soda drinkers and non-soda drinkers have larger waistlines. Why do they think this is the case? Artificial sweetners leading to overeating, poor diets that accompany diet soda drinking, lack of nutrients.
I know that when I am tired, lazy, stressed, snacking while watching tv with friends, and overall not worrying about what I am eating I am more likely to drink a diet soda. Am I addicted? No. Could I make some better choices? Of course. Other drinks recommended in the article to replace your diet soda are water, green tea, seltzer, or coffee. I'd choice an iced coffee in the summer or a hot tea in the winter over diet coke. Will you?

What other low cal foods or drinks do you consume knowing they are not the healthiest of options?
Since babysitting I've been a sucker for those 100-calorie cookie packs. After eating the 3 cookies in the bag I feel accomplished for having so much restraint but feel hungry again 20 minutes later.
Could you give up your diet soda addiction? Will you?
