So... today is Wednesday, August 14th, 2013. Going on my
eight month of using a fitness tracker. I originally purchased the +Fitbit One
back in January, 2013 to keep track of my daily steps, distance, calories, and
how my flights of stairs climbed. Initially, I was doubtful about learning to
adapt to carrying around device clipped to my waist or in my front pocket.
Moreover, the worry and added step (no pun intended) of synchronizing a device
routinely. However, after the first week I was… hooked! Counting steps became a
habit after the initial week and the Fitbit One continues to take care of
everything. If I forgot to synchronize on Monday or Tuesday – no biggie.
You can actually goes days without connecting your tracker to a smartphone or
computer. Although, once your friends join in and the leaderboard grows a daily
sync becomes even more fun! The programmers make it easy allowing you to setup
auto-synchronization with your computer or your smartphone – problem fixed!
Sleep
How well did you sleep last night and for how long? The
Fitbit One and the Fitbit Flex both come with a sleep analysis feature built
in. Just before I retire to bed each night I press the button for three seconds
and a timer initiates. The sleep mode also serves as activity mode (more about
that later). In the morning when I awake for the day I press the button again
and the timer
