(Un)Wired for War!!

My Sony Walkman
The war against weight gain is hard. Working out is hard. Working out is tedious. What can be worse than working out - besides not being able to enjoy a 6-pack of gourmet cupcakes without guilt?

Working out without music.

I had gone through quite a few MP3 players, via sweaty workouts, rainy workouts and MP3 player drops and spills. So when I was looking for a new one, I passed over the Apple group and looked for something cheap, practical and convenient.

I bought two players. The first was the Sansa Disk Clip+, which cost less than $US30 and is pretty sturdy. But the one I was really looking forward to getting was the Sony Walkman, which is a wireless, hardy, waterproof MP3 player. I love it so far. No more worrying about sweat totally screwing up my player, or rain destroying my investment. I also hate running with the headphone cords flying about, so this is perfect. I gave these headphones a test run this morning and I think the earbuds were too large as they kept slipping out of my ear. But have no fear - the player comes with Medium earbuds already "installed", but with Small and Large back up buds in the box, so I have changed the buds and will hopefully have a better experience with them tomorrow as I plan to burn off this Twix mini bar.

  1. I loved your last line. I need to get back to the gym since it gets dark early now and I left the gym far behind a year ago. (I'm terrible, I know.) The eating habits have gotten so incredibly poor and I really need to rein things in. So, while you run (and my very health-conscious cousin does too), maybe the two of you will shame me to get myself going again. I went from a 5 day/week gym rat to nothing in a year. Craziness. And P.S. Perhaps I should invest in the Sony Walkman. Would really appreciate an update about how things progress with the comfort and durability.

    1. I will let you know how it has been going with the Sony at the end of the week after I put it through its paces.

  3. Way to go, girl! I've gotten used to the headphones but have been trying to run without music lately. It's not too bad.

  4. I don't think I've ever had a workout without music. I dunno what I would do!
