So yea, we got some Fitbits.

Jessica and I just received our brand new Fitbits from the UPS man today. Basically it’s a fancy pedometer that you wear on your wrist all the time. It tracks how much you are moving throughout the day and gives you an estimate of how active you are, how many calories you’ve burned, how well you’re sleeping, how many steps you’ve taken and how far you’ve gone, and how long are you doing vigorous activity every day. They are a bit pricy I guess but good health and fitness is the most valuable thing you can have, especially as you get older so if it helps in that regard then it’s a very small investment for a very large return. It doesn’t matter how much money you have if your health is shot because you can’t enjoy it. Anyway they kind of look like one of those Livestrong bracelets, only thicker in some areas. I kinda have been eyeballing something along these lines for a while, when you see how you spend your days activity wise it gets you moving a bit more just like when you track your money it makes understand the overall picture and makes you smarter about your financial decisions. It figures that as soon as I order them and they are on their way I see that Garmin is coming out with one of their own that is compatible with the heart rate monitors that we already have and has better features. Oh well, we will try the Fitbits for a while and if I decide to go with the Garmin later then I can always sell them or give it to someone who really needs it. The thing I am most excited to try is to see what it says about our activity when we have some sex… I don’t know why, I’m sure I will be disappointed in what it tells me. Gimme a break, I’m not 18 years old any more after all!
