This is a cool way of tracking your workout progress. Handy logs fitness app on the Blackberry app world. The application is free and you can sync it with there website allowing you to track your progress online and from your Blackberry.

Today was the first day I tried it out. I entered each set of each exercise after the set with the reps, weight used and a description of the exercise equipment used.

Below is a sample of what I get from Handy Logs. I copied this information using the Bolt browser and pasted the info into the Wordpress application on my Blackberry.

I had a thought today that was more than 40 characters and I wanted that thought to be published on the web with its GPS and a picture I took outside. I had a number of options, I tried the quickest first and after my work out I am writing this post now doing cardio with my Blackberry and the Wordpress application second option choice.

The first attempt to get my thought across with GPS in the Twitter applications I have on my Blackberry. Twitter for Blackberry and Ubertwitter. I went with Ubertwitter and my twitter account Curtis Matthews Twiiter accountIt allowed me to take a picture and post a note less than 140 characters.
I remember the application asking me during the initial setup about which GPS option I wanted, I want with cell towers the first and default choice. I am trying to save the draft now but the GPS did not work the first time.
Ok now the second attempt did not but when I got into my car it let me post. Its now 9:10am in front of LA Fitness. I will add my picture I took of the front when I first came in.

I download an upgrade for my Wordpress application on my Blackberry 9700.
I just took a short video clip of inside the store here in Weston Florida to see if it uploads properly with this application. Before the upgrade I really could not add video with this app from the Blackberry.

It still does not work to upload video taken with the Blackberry.

The error message says:
Blog message (code 500) could not write file test-video.3GP (invalid file type)

Last year we went to Universal Studios Orlando for New Years Eve. I decided this would be the best time to try out may Video capabilities of the Blackberry Bold 9700. The video taken below is the Macys Parade at Universal Studios in Orlando on New Years Eve. The whole video is a little over 15 minutes. I posted the Video up on the web from my Blackberry Bold 9700 with the QIK application. The QIK application only work to upload videos already taken with my 9700 the app has problems and is not working to allow me to stream live video like I did before with my Blackberry Bold 9000 with the QIK application. But this video was uploaded and will give you a good sense of the quality of the video camera for the Blackberry Bold 9700.

Today I did my first mat pilates class. First I did about 10 sets of pull ups, and then I took the pilates class. All my years of weight training, I never stretched properly so I thought that pilates class would benefit me. I did exercises and stretching that I never did before. I see the benefits from stretching so I’m deciding to take that class as much as I can with time permitting. Since they class starts so late I only can take it on my days off and my days off are not consistent so the class may or may not be available that day. Tonight I planned to take a different class, I’m going with my stepdaughter Rebecca to do a body shape in class. This class uses light weights with aerobics. Hopefully these different exercises we’ll help stimulate different muscles in my body. I need to continue to grow if I want to compete in a natural body building competition.

This post was completely done by a speech recognition software that I have on my Sony laptop. So this is basically a test, hopefully I will get much better at this allowing me to do more post to my Blogs.

I did a post earlier today with the Wordpress application that I downloaded to me Apple iPhone but it did not save. I am only using the web with wifi because I had a Blackberry Bold before and I did not change the data feature as yet. So everything that I wrote before did not save I thought it saved because I was able to go back and edit what I wrote before but now that I wanted to publish what I had written with the pictures, ii do not know where the text had gone.

We went to see the pay per view UFC fight at the Carolina Ale House on November 11th
