Check-In & Fit Bit Force review

Jan 25, 2014

Still going strong and sober!  Went to my 3rd AA meeting yesterday...still trying to find another WLS support group that meets more then once a month.  Let see what's new... I bought the Fit Bit Force... I was totally stoked when I brought it home.  I researched for a whole week before buying it (so I thought)...and figured I'd buy-in to the hype.  I wore the band for 3 days and then never picked it back up.  The fact that it counted every movement as a step drove me bonkers.  When I'm driving....sitting at my desk typing, eating..all steps.  For $129.99 this thing should be have more accuracy.  Also, I was pissed off when I used the sleep tracking function...I know I got up to go pee twice, and it never counted those times - nor did it track those steps.  My lil brother asked me if it had a BMR (sp?) or heart rate checking ability... I said no.  He said, well, this is just a really cute pedometer then.  Guuurrrr.  I took it back to Best Buy and got my $141.45 back!!!!!  In my AA meeting, I was told I have too much free time on my hands thus I need to find a hobby or something to do with my time (otherwise, being alone - immersed in my thoughts could be very detrimental).   I decided, I wanted to start making skirts for myself and my daughter.  So now, I'm looking for a nice sewing machine.   Well... nice enough under $141 !!!  

One last thing... on Saturday, I went over to my BFF's house to comfort her through a bad breakup.  Of course when I got there, she was already on bottle # 2.  She also had a fresh pack of cigarettes that were whispering sweet nothings in my ear.  I did great!  Not a sip of wine, not 1 drag on the cancer stick.  NADA!  I'm sooo proud of myself.  I drank my water and ate my trail mix the whole time.  

Today, still fighting back.  Still happy I got RNY in 2009.   

Xoxo,

B
