"All progress takes place outside the comfort zone" - Michael John Bobak
I have decided not to go to the gym with a friend. It will cause too much stress trying to get everything into my day and week. I will do "drop in" with her on Fridays (my day off). I know that doesn't take me out of my comfort zone too far.... I do have several DVD's that I can do at home and don't require me to travel into town.
So on that note - we are now into the 2nd week and moving along, do what you can do when you can and we will be healthier together!

Great job keeping this going...many thanks!

magic - no I use a pedometer. A friend of mine has a both and the fitbit has way more steps on it than the pedometer. She says the Fitbit counts the times her arms swing.0

I have my fitbit on my ankle cuz I am usually peddling or walking the dog...so no swinging of the arm. But it should count when the left arm swings or non dominant arm swings, if you are walking.0 -

Not to butt into the conversation, but the fitbit can also be set so that it isn't as sensitive - by setting to dominant arm (then b/c it assumes its the arm that's used more, it doesn't register as slight of movements as it does when set to non-dominant arm). Does that make sense? It's early and I'm having a hard time getting started. LOL0 -
Sunday's Miles 4.87
Morning all...have to get on the bike fast...but when I did use in on my wrist, I watched the steps on my ipone as I walked and it was accurate.
Now, when I peddle it only gives me a step have each complete rotation...every time, my right foot complete around, I get credit, which I think is fair.
On my wrist it gave me a step for left, right, left, right...each step taken. I think it is pretty accurate.0 -
Still haven't really gotten my rear in gear:
8 - 2.22
9 - 2.61
10 - 2.01
Total - 27.51, 0/8
This week will be a better week!!!0 -
11 - 3.21 = 30.72, 0/8
Today is gym day. I'm not looking forward to the resolutioners who will be there, but I've told the BF that we are going!! If I have to go alone, I will.

I went to the gym with the bf, but he's sick and it was cut short. I thought he was being a baby, but last night, I was awake all night b/c of his coughing. LOL...guess he's not such a baby. (Although I get the allergy crud all the time and power through.
