Let's Talk Exercise

I'd be lying if I said I workout a lot.  

I have the Fitbit One and I love it.  I keep it clipped to my bra and when I get home I just clip it to my tank top (because y'all know the bra comes off as soon as I hit the door).

The Fitbit tracks steps taken and floors of stairs climbed.  It also connects with MFP.  I have MFP set to a sedentary activity level and as my Fitbit tracks my day and see's that I'm being more active than sedentary it adds cardio calories burned to MFP log.

I try to walk 7,000 steps a day - 10,000 if I'm feeling froggy that day.

It also allows you to have daily/weekly/weekend challenges with your Fitbit friends.  I usually have 2 different challenges going on: one with work peeps and one with my super awesome cousin.  I find it motivating to be able to see what they're doing.  

If I'm in last place at the end of the night I'll walk circles around my dining room table/kitchen for half an hour until I catch up (seriously).

Hey now - it works.

I slipped some this weekend.  I inevitably drank some beers and ate some prosciutto bread and exceeded my calories on Saturday.  Then I forgot my Fitbit for a good 3 hours which just about murders any motivation I may have had when I woke up.

Despite the weekend I'm still getting there.
