Last school year, DESH was offering Fitbits to teachers as an incentive to help them be healthy. Ben got one of them . It sat on his bedside table for months. I told him I would use it after I had Meghan, so about a month ago, I got it and set it all up.
It has been fun to see how active or how very inactive I am in a day. Take today for example. I ran errands this morning, did laundry when we got home, then walked to the park where they have the farmer's market. I ended up the day by hanging up some notices for the apartments. That all came out to be about 9100 steps and 10 flights of stairs.
I'm not really a stickler. I don't wear it everyday, and I have very unsuccessfully tracked my sleep. I fall asleep before I can switch it over to sleep mode, plus lately I have been being awakened by one very needy girl 3 or 4 times a night. It would look like I've gotten terrible sleep the last several nights, and I have!
It is really exciting to check it throughout the day. It helps motivate me to do more even if it only is to actually walk around holding Meghan instead of just swaying in one place.

I had never heard of the fitbit so I looked it up. Looks pretty cool actually. I have been using a pedometer app on my phone.
No Way! Man, teachers get some cool things. I've been half wanting a fit-bit for a long time. I can't decide if it would actually be worth it for me, or if something else would be better. But I have until we're rich to decide I suppose.
Anyway, I think it's pretty cool, too. I would like to try out sleep mode especially. For daytime activities I also used to use my phone as a pedometer and that was fun.
