    My name is Karen and I Need my Fitbit. :laugh:

    @taxmom:
    We should create a group call FA (Fitbit Anonymous), for all of us that are 'addicted' to that dang little thing!!!
    We could share our frustration, our need & dependancy for it! :laugh: :laugh:

    Hi. My name is Annie, and I'm addicted to my Fitbit. :drinker: :drinker: :laugh:

    Haha, no kidding!! Hello, I'm Carrie and my fitbit is my BFF! Runs and walks ALMOST don't count when I'm not wearing it! Last night I considered running home for it, but my route was planned and I didn't want to add any extra non-counting milage without it :laugh:
    Thank goodness for this group, I knew that my miles still "count" somewhere!

    I'm back! I am once again going to set my goal at 50 miles. My husband just had lap band surgery so I will be out walking with him. This will be my motivation to get off my butt!

    It's kind of pathetic that when it wasn't working I was thinking of all the "wasted" steps I was taking. At least Runkeeper gives me miles but I want it all! - steps too! This Fitbit addict Karen is glad to be back to normal especially in time for my few days in NYC where I really want to count steps. Now I have to keep going and move back up my friends list on my dashboard. I was almost in the basement.

    4 miles today, trying to get it done before Arthur hits here (although the winds might have felt nice :laugh: )

    T

    Thursday = Strength and Stretch class, but that doesn't add to the mileage. So I took a walk in the meadow and in to the center of the labyrinth. Sun and a nice breeze kept the mosquitoes away. Added 1.42 miles.

    July total = 13.86/

    I just keep forgetting, never ride your bike around town on training rides on holiday weekends. It's like playing chicken with a train. It seems like drivers doing holiday traveling, they freaking leave their brains at home. I am in florescent green, how hard is it to see me on the side of the road in a well marked bike lane! Came within a foot of getting creamed by a bus sized motor home. Had to way shorten my training or cut short my life. Sorry for the rant, but this gets totally annoying. And I don't need down days with my half century coming up next weekend.

    07/01 - 20.0 miles biking
    07/02 - 14.0 miles biking
    07/03 - 11.0 miles biking

    Total: 45.0 miles

    @anaconda - I can identify in a similar way.
    I have been travelling and I have had to run near my hotel and the holiday traffic made it so hazardous that I just had to run in circles in a big box store parking lot... and then still I was afraid of getting hit!

    Good luck on the century! :smile:

    So after resetting the fitbit (3 times) and uninstalling and reinstalling the software (twice) I finally got it to start syncing again. :happy: I still need to go into a dark room to read the display, :grumble: but at least it syncs. :happy: I guess I need to break down and get a new one. :grumble: Ah well, I guess as far as addictions go, this one is better than most. :wink:

    Added 6.5 miles today. :bigsmile: Some of that was getting away from the computer before I did something I would regret in frustration. :laugh: And you know, the whole time I was out, I kept thinking "but what if the Fitbit isn't recording this? :noway: How will I ever figure out my steps? :sad: " I really think I might need an intervention here. :laugh:

    July total 26 miles. Doing really well here. :bigsmile:

    @ anaconda. Sadly, that's why I load my bike into the van and drive to the bike trail. It really isn't too far to ride, but I'm not willing to take my chances with the drivers around here. Share isn't in their vocabulary. :frown:

    Have a good Holiday weekend for those in the US! And have a great Friday for the rest of you. :drinker: :drinker:

    Hey Chris - Sounds like you had a great day. You're marching right along on your goal for the month too. Way to go!

    @ Anaconda - I'm with Taxmom on this one. I load my bike in the truck and head to the bike trail. I'm not going to take on the traffic when we have Canada day on the first and Independence day on the Fourth. A lot of drunk holiday travelers here now. I love the tourists and the boost they give the economy but I'm not going to share the road with them when I'm on a bicycle. :wink:
