I got a Fitbit! I’ve been thinking about getting one for a long time, but I’ve always thought that they were too expensive. Until I found a great deal for one on Groupon.
Pretty teal color, right? This model is the Fitbit Flex. They generally sell for $99.95. I got mine from Groupon for $59.99. (If you click the image above, it will bring you to Groupon. If you then buy the Fitbit, I’ll get a $10 referral bonus. Then, you can refer your friends and get $10, too!) I’ve had the Fitbit for a few days now and I’ve discovered a couple of things. It takes effort to get to 10,000 steps in a day. In fact, I haven’t made it to 10,000 steps in a day yet. The Fitbit also tracks how many minutes of activity you do in a day. Today, I had 32 minutes. Seeing that on the screen made me feel like a sloth. Seriously. One half hour of activity in the entire 24 hours I’m given each day. That’s kind of gross. And motivating. I plan to give a little update each week on how I’m liking the Fitbit and whether or not it’s helping me move more and possibly lose a little weight.
I also have a recipe to share. I threw together a dinner the other night and it came out delicious.
