The one thing that I notice about working out and eating a bit healther is that I def feel better when I do. Just biked for 15 miles had a salad and some grilled chicken and I feel good. Relaxed, satiated and ready to chill for a bit.
But I'll be damned if some of the food I eat doesn't take so much better...
The other thing is that I feel like it cuts into the day a lot. Granted, I like to play video games and I could cut some of that out, but by the time that I get off work, go to teh gym, come home, shower, make dinner and eat it's 7:30/8:00 most nights. Def adds another 50/90 minutes into my day.

I am surprised it doesn't recognize something for the rowing though it's not as feature rich as their higher end ones with GPS (but I wanted something more like a bracelet than their others so I don't mind). Outdoor cycling it picks up my rides as rides for the activity though not always the full number of minutes that my bontrager trip 200, that I use for logging the ride to then enter into mapmyfitness manually (I quit tracking via gps to conserve phone battery), logs.
I've started doing this. I just take it off the band and stick it in my sock. Records my 'steps' pretty close to what the bike thinks that I did in terms of rotations per minute.
