[today’s run:\u00a0 nothing… walk 1 mile]<\/p>\n
For Christmas my daughter bought both of us something called a FitBit.\u00a0 It is a little pedometer thing that comes with a USB bump thing.\u00a0 They connect to each other via bluetooth, like a cell phone and headset.\u00a0 The pedometer you carry around and it shows how many steps you take and it shows the time of day and the number of calories you have burned.<\/p>\n
Then there is a website.\u00a0 When your pedometer talks to the computer, it updates the website with your activities.\u00a0 And the website has a food log, and a place to enter weight and blood pressure and blood glucose and who knows what else.\u00a0 Anyway, with all of this info they know if you are eating too much or exercising enough.<\/p>\n
I can do the pedometer part.\u00a0 I’m not very good about the food logging part.\u00a0 But this year I need to do some serious trimming, so this is the way to go.<\/p>\n
The little pedometer has a face on it that changes if you are active (a smile) or sedentary (a frown).\u00a0 Kind of like when the kids had those little giga-pet things.\u00a0 Except with this it is happy when I exercise and don’t eat too much.\u00a0 So maybe I’m the pet.<\/p>\n
