Yearly themes encourage us to make better versions of ourselves without tying our success or failure to a single target. However, if you lost 18lbs, is that really a failure? No - of course not. If you don’t lose those 20lbs, you miss your goal. Examples of a yearly theme might be “the year of nutrition” or “the year of punctuality.” The hosts of Cortex practice “yearly themes” where instead of setting a specific goal, they assign themselves more of an overall guiding theme for the year. Last year I started listening to the Cortex Podcast from Relay FM. People do this because something happens one day that throws them off their intended objective, and they become discouraged. The challenge with New Year’s resolutions is the average person abandons their goal after about a month. Most New Years’ resolutions centre around a specific goal like losing 20lbs or drinking eight glasses of water a day. IPhone users with iOS 8 looking to put Apple’s new Health app and HealthKit to use can try out MyFitnessPal for free on the App Store, and 9to5Mac will continue to share HealthKit apps as they become available.With a new year comes New Years’ resolutions.

Last night iOS 8.0.2 was distributed with a fix for the previous issues again re-enabling HealthKit. The app adds to a small list of approved HealthKit apps on the App Store after Apple removed HealthKit-enabled apps on iOS 8 launch day due to a last minute big with the feature forcing developers to submit updated versions of their apps without HealthKit support in order to be available again.Įarlier this week, Apple released iOS 8.0.1 with a number of bug fixes including the return of HealthKit support, but the update was quickly pulled after users reported it disabling cellular service and Touch ID functionality on iPhone 6 and iPhone Plus devices. Specifically, MyFitnessPal can share meal data you add to the app with other HealthKit apps while weight and workout data can be shared back and forth with other apps. The new version allows users to interface three types of data with Apple’s Health app and other HealthKit-enabled apps: meal summaries, weight syncing, and workout data from exercises. MyFitnessPal, an app focused on helping you track your diet habits and caloric intake, has released a new version today with support for HealthKit and Apple’s new Health app on iOS 8.
