FitBit test

We all know how new electronics are just the answer that will help us be healthy gift that and will lead to super health or weight loss. I am putting the fit bit to the test.

I have been using the fit bit tracker for the last month and a half and really like it. One of the things I have learned is how many steps we really don't take. I figured 10,000 steps no problem, I can make it to the gym, I walked the dog, I try to do other things so no problem.

10,000 steps are a lot of steps. The fitbit is really fun. It syncs. To your computer or phone automatically. Well it syncs as long as you have the little plug in your computer. I did add for my birthday the scale. I wanted to see how the whole body fat thing would change. My new  scale also syncs to the computer and makes these really nice graphs.

I have been tracking everything I have eaten for the last 10 days to see what happens on these graphs by what foods I am eating. It logs body fat vs. lean muscle and also BMI.



So far I have logged everything. Today was really hard because we went to a form of a party that had food and drink. I followed the rule if you don't want to log it don't eat it. I did have a glass of wine. I really thought about portions as I picked some food items.

I am also doing a Plank challenge.  The challenge is to hold that plank 1 mim 20 seconds.  I might have to do this a couple of times a day so I get really good at it because I know challenge person is going to up the length.

Lets do this together.  There are many free or low cost websites you can log on to get a really good idea of how many calories you are eating.  If you are like me and like electronics please share what you are using and how it is working.

I will be watching how the body fat goes up or down compared to the scale #.
