\"fitbitflex\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For Christmas Hubs and I got Fitbit Flex’s. \u00c2\u00a0The idea being we’d not forget to take a pedometer that is on our wrist. \u00c2\u00a0We’ve been enjoying weekly challenges with my sister – who can walk the most M-F \u00c2\u00a0(not me is the answer!) – and other fun incentives. It really has shown me how sedentary I am and motivated me to move.<\/p>\n

As you all probably know by now, the daily walking goal for most people is 10,000 steps. \u00c2\u00a0I wanted to work up to that so I set my goal lower. \u00c2\u00a0When you meet your goal, the bracelet vibrates and the lights blink in a pattern. \u00c2\u00a0For the past few days, I’d get out of bed, shuffle to the kitchen and get coffee and my bracelet would start to celebrate. \u00c2\u00a0I knew I hadn’t reached my goal so I thought maybe my bracelet’s time was off or something.<\/p>\n

Since it’s raining today, I plugged it in to charge and headed to my dashboard. \u00c2\u00a0Somehow my goal was set for 45 steps!! No problem! I can obviously do that within 5 mins of waking up! LOL<\/p>\n

So, I’m back on track now! \u00c2\u00a0For those who want to know – on my own, I’m only walking 3000 steps. \u00c2\u00a0So my first goal was 4000 and now I’m at 5,000 steps. \u00c2\u00a0My ultimate goal is 10,000. \u00c2\u00a0But just as I can’t run a 5k without training and working up to that goal, I can’t do that right now without working up to it!<\/p>\n
