Oh Fitbit - You Rock! Fitness Goal Time...

I have had my Fitbit in use since 12/26 (and even that day it was only half of the day).  Since doing it - so far my best stats:

• 7,614 steps on Dec 28, 2010
• 2,931 calories burned on Dec 29, 2010
• 3.35 miles on Dec 28, 2010
• 731 active score on Dec 29, 2010
• 23 very active min on Dec 28, 2010

When I make my post for January - end of month, I'll do another summary. 

• I'd like to regularly hit 7,000 steps, but I'd like to have a few days (maybe one a week) where I hit 10,000. 
• My goal is regularly hit 2,900 calories a day - again with a few days where hitting 3,200 would be nice. 
• My goal is to have a day where I do 5 miles, and I'd like to have to an active score in the 900's. 

I think all that's pretty reasonable, yes?

In order to get back on track starting tomorrow I return to Fit4Life Bootcamp.  This usually kicks my ass. This is how I lost my 35lbs a few months ago - and until I see a positive sign on a pregnancy test, this is what I will continue. 

I also took hubby over to the new YMCA that they just built and signed up. I like working out at home, he doesn't.  He insists he has too many other things to do. So the Y is on his way home and he's going to go there before even coming home. Luckily we have another Y right within the area so if this one gets super busy (it's brand new) we have another option.  I signed up for a membership there because I figured I can go on Tuesdays, Saturday and Sundays (when there is no bootcamp) and once I get pregnant, that's where I'll go to compensate for missing bootcamp. 

I'll check back at the end of January and hope I meet these goals ;)

I'm in love again! (Shh, don't tell DH!)

Image via CrunchBaseFor Christmas, as I mentioned yesterday, I got a Fitbit. This thing is amazing. I only got to wear it for half of yesterday, if I had worn it all day I KNOW I would have broken my goals and made it.  But alas, I didn't.

Let me tell you about this little thing.  Here's what she looks like: (Yes, it's a She, considering she's attached to my bra most of the day, I feel it's only appropriate).
Here's how small she is:

Here's a breakdown of what the interface looks like (and No, it's not my account your peaking in on ;) )

It logs your calories burned (even those for just sitting there being alive) and you can enter your foods that you eat.  I am going to use that feature especially right now to make sure I can get myself on track and figure out an average amount that I normally consume, and then what I need to burn to lose 2-3 a week. 

You can track your water intake, journal, feelings, blood pressure, glucose, etc.  The list goes on and on.

Last night I wore it for sleep, and I had to kind of laugh  because even though I woke up 20 times (which I counted 16, so it was right on track), I still managed a 89% efficiency for sleep!
I'll be logging my daily reports in my training log - but I imagine I will be coming back to brag about this little bugger as time goes on ;)
