My New Toy "Fitbit"

My cousin told me about this new wireless personal trainer she got and how much she was enjoying it so I jumped right on the band wagon and got one too.  I am in love with this little gadget.  It tracks your steps, it will even monitor your sleep to see how well you actually are sleeping.  You log into your fitbit account on line and it will add your activities to your personal page and keep track of them.  You just need to be within 15 feet of the little dock that is hooked to the computer for it to be read.   It also has a display on the little gadget so you can check your steps, miles etc.  On line you can record the food you eat and it will tell you the calories, fat content, sodium, carbs etc.   You can keep track of your weight too.  If you are diabetic, there is a place to write down your blood glucose levels.  I can keep track of my heart rate, blood pressure and measurements on the site too.  The little monitor does not monitor those aspects of your health, but its nice to be able to log everything in on one site.    I am loving this thing.  Keeps me mindful of how much I sit too.  The little monitor thing clips onto your clothes, I hook it to my bra so no one even sees it.  Its tiny as you can see in the photo.   I found myself walking a circle around the kitchen table a few times yesterday and today at the store, I decided to walk the perimeter before I actually shopped for what I needed.  Exercising just became more fun !
FitBit is going to change the way I live my life.
