Fitbit Flex

I am excited for my new toy, the fitbit flex, but sad to see my bodymedia go.  It was a great four years and it was so sad when it decided to not work anymore.  On the upside, I now don't have to pay a monthly fee to see my data, which bodymedia should get rid of, the arm band cost a lot as it is.  So today is my first day with my fitbit flex on all day.  I charged it last night and set everything up and even slept in it.  It is very similar to my old bodymedia so I am curious to see how similar they are in calories burned.  I'm always unsure about new fitness gadgets, but have a few friends who have a fitbit so I figured I would try it out.  For those who are not familiar with the Fitbit Flex, it can track all sorts of information.  Below is a list of what the fitbit can do.

Fitbit Flex
- Tracks calories burned
- Tracks steps
- Tracks miles
- Tracks active minutes
- Tracks weight loss
- Tracks your sleep (minutes sleeping and restless)
- Calories eaten (I synced mine up with myfitnesspal)
- Calories left
- Water consumed

You can also setup goals and alarms on the fitbit flex.  It can do all sorts of stuff but I am more interested in the accuracy to help me lose weight.  I will let you know tomorrow how it compares to the bodymedia.  Happy Friday and GO SEAHAWKS!!!!

Work it out

Today is day 2 of eating healthy and working out.  The only big change for me is working out more as I slacked 2013 so now it's time to get back in shape.  I don't want to be a lazy couch potato so it's time to get moving. Yesterday I did my cardio, kickboxing, and today it was strength, yoga.  I forgot how much I enjoy yoga and how it relaxes me and makes me feel so much better.  I really need to start doing it more as it will help with my stress and it will strengthen my arms and core.  2014 lookout it's fitness time!

Happy New Year!

I cannot believe it is 2014, I feel like we just started 2013.  Time is flying by way to fast, I want it to slow down.  But for 2014 I have set those typical goals of getting back on track of getting healthy and finally losing my last 10 pounds that I have been putting off, but this is the year, I can feel it.  I started off the morning with a protein shake and kickboxing to help motivate me.  Bring it 2014 I am ready for you and looking forward to what will come of it.  Happy New Year Everyone!
