This Little Gadget



HORRIBLE picture of the Fitbit Ultra

 Is super cool! This is the Fitbit Ultra. I equate it to a pedometer on steroids. A friend of mine had shown me hers a couple of weeks ago, when I was on my way to becoming a SUPER FAT MAMMA. When I decided to start walking/running I knew I needed a way to track myself. I took a look at www.fitbit.com and liked what I saw. The Fitbit tracks, steps, distance, calories burned, and sets of stairs. And those are just the features on the actual device. When you update your dashboard (automatically done when you sit next to your computer), it also gives you all kinds of other great information like how many hours out of the day you are sedentary, active, or even very active. Way cool, huh? You can also track your weight, what you eat and lots of other things but I use WW for those! You also get to personalize a greeting for your Fitbit. Of course, I chose FAT MAMMA so when I use it, it says things like Bonjour, FAT MAMMA!
I have really enjoyed "getting to know" my Fitbit. It is just one more thing to keep me motivated. My goal is 10,000 steps a day...which is actually a lot! I can't wait to see how many steps I take each day when I am working!

Have a great weekend! This FAT MAMMA is headed to a pool party...can't wait until I am not a FAT MAMMA in a bathing suit! Too bad the Fitbit isn't waterproof...might have to do some water walking! DORK, I know!
