This week was not so great. I worked lots of extra hours, and I sometimes feel like my primary function is to baby sit adults. I didn't get enough sleep this week, and I have been ravenously hungry. I have at least figured out what caused The Hungry. I quit taking birth control about a month ago and its hormone time. Que all the usual suspects: hunger, fatigue, irritability, and general aches. On the bright side, my knee has been feeling better so I have been going for short walks. While I did not stay under on calories, I did meet my exercise goals, so at least I've got that going for me. Now, onto the Fitbit story!
I'm sure everyone knows what Fitbit is and the line of fitness products they offer. (www.fitbit.com) Through a health program at work, I received a free one about 6 months ago. Unfortunately, I lost it after a short time. Then I started having knee problems so I never purchased a new one. With my knee doing better I decided it was time. I opted out of ordering one online for a lesser price so that I could guarantee functionality upon purchase. I go the store, choose one, get the case unlocked, and purchase it. I get it home, set it up with my computer, put it on and go for a walk. I take it off to check my steps. I tap the screen and I see lines. I tap it again and again lines. This happens a few more times before I finally see mileage come up. I tap over to steps, and I see steps = 0.
I sigh and repackage everything I purchased and drive back to the store to exchange it for another. I get the new fully functioning Fitbit home. I set it up and then place it on the side table. A little while later I'm laying in the floor doing my leg/knee exercise when I see it. I see it in pieces across the living room floor. Millie (my husband's black lab) is beside it wagging her tail. She ate it. She ate my Fitbit that I worked so hard to get. He has promised to buy me a new one today, but come on! Those things are cheap and his dog just eats it. She is a sweet dog, but sometimes she is awful!
