jcgator2016 wrote: »Hey Team, got a quick question.
My wife wants a fitbit for Christmas. I'm an android guy (Garmin), so I don't know anything about fitbits. She wants the square one, but has to have a watch face with a sweeping second hand thats she can see without readers. She doesn't run marathons, doesn;t need split times, or any of that stuff. Just wants to record steps, biking, HR, etc.
I noticed the Fitness Blaze Special Edition has the watchface she likes, but it also has tons of features she is not interested in.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Jim!
I have a Fitbit Versa and I like the size of the watch face. You’re able to change the face through the app and I’ve seen sweeping ones. I wanted the Versa mostly because it’s waterproof and I was on a water aerobics kick for a while. The Fitbit Charge 3 is also waterproof and has many of the same features with great reviews. I think my next one may be the Charge 3.
You can go to Fitbit.com and compare any of them. The only thing I don’t like about the Versa, is I’m on my 4th one in the last year and a half. A couple of them just died on me. They were under a yr old, so still under warranty. I bought my 2nd one at Target and they switched it out with the receipt. If you have a Target Red Card, you can save 5% on them, even if they are already at a discounted price. I saw a commercial tonight and they’re on sale at Kohl’s now too😊 I think Fitbit’s website has lowered their prices too for the holidays.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I’ll post a pic of my current watch face, simple and digital. You can customize most watch faces too-pick your colors for sweeping hand, numbers, etc.

Thoughtful Thursday: How do we turn those negative thoughts around?
Here is some reading to do when you have a quiet moment....
I'll be working on these techniques this week! I hope you will join me and share with us what has worked for you.
Tips to shift your Mindset:

When positive affirmations aren’t working, a slightly different technique:

GOOD MID MORNING WARRIORS....
SINCE I AM GOING TO BE IN TOWN TOMORROW I THOUGHT I WOULD POST MY RECIPES FOR YOU TODAY.
THE FIRST ONE IS A VERSION FROM LEE DRUMMOND ( THE PIONEER WOMEN) THAT THE TEEN CHEFS AND I USED TO MEET OUR CLIENTS NEED THAT WANTED A LIGHTER AND HEALTHIER VERSION OF THIS ITALIAN CLASSIC
Zucchini Lasagna
• Level: Easy Yield: 8 servings
• Total: 1 hr 40 min (includes cooling time)
• Active: 25 min
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
One 20-ounce package cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 ounces spinach, rinsed and drained
3 large zucchinis (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound mozzarella
6 fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 cups low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 eggs, beaten
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Two 24-ounces jars store-bought marinara sauce
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until it wilts. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/16 inch thick. If the zucchini looks watery, lay the slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture before using.
4. Grate the mozzarella cheese and set aside.
5. Cut the basil into a chiffonade by stacking the leaves on top of one another, rolling them tightly and then cutting across. Finely chop the parsley. In a medium bowl, combine the herbs, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the eggs, salt and pepper and stir well.
6. To assemble the lasagna, place a third of the mushrooms and spinach mixture over the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon a layer of marinara on top and cover with half of the zucchini strips, carefully overlapping the edges. Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture onto the zucchini and spread to distribute evenly. Sprinkle half the mozzarella on top of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat the process above, layering the mushrooms and spinach, marinara, the remaining zucchini strips, cottage cheese, and mozzarella into the dish. Top with the remaining mushrooms and spinach, followed by a final layer of marinara.
7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the Parmesan over the top and bake until the lasagna is hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow to stand for 35 minutes before cutting into squares.
Bon Appétit
