A colleague lent to me her brother’s Fitbit. For the first two weeks, it didn’t register the change from him to me. Every morning, upon it’s first movement of the day, it would greet me with Bonjour Ben.
This little jumpdrive shaped number tracks steps, miles, and stairs.
I walked over 16,000 steps on Saturday. I only went for a walk in the evening to make sure I rolled over that 15,999.
I’m hooked.
I ran Sunday, in part mostly because I wanted to see if I could top 16,000 steps. Sadly, Bonjour Ben is old and it’s display stops working without notice or obvious cause. Even though I’m sure I logged 6+ miles yesterday between my morning run and evening walk, I’ll have to wait until the new FitBit arrives and I can tackle that same route again.
Bonjour Ben was returned to its rightful owner and I bought the next generation of FitBit this morning with my Amazon Visa reward points. I’m a little nervous about this being a ‘shiny object’ so I was glad to use points to pay the $90.
Now I wonder what it would take to get to 20,000 steps…
