    There’s something very satisfying when you see your number get closer to 150 and away from 155!! I’m thinking It’s because when we see 155+plus in elementary school we were taught to round up if the number was over 5! Congratulations on being out of the “round up” category Tami!!

    I did not push myself to do the right things this week. I didn't stick to plans, and I didn't exercise.

    It may not be a new week, but Today is always a new day! Tell us if you need us for advice or moral support!😊

    Your Fitbit doesn’t automatically sync your steps into your diary?
    You guys are all doing AMAZING! I've had a busy day and haven't really had a chance to comment since I got home from work!
    I just got back in from my run! The rain finally stopped playing games!

    I am really perplexed, though, as I have been using MapMyRun and Fitbit to track my workouts(MMR will sync workout data to MFP, which Fitbit doesn't)... MapMyRun has my total distance marked as 2.05mi, where Fitbit has me at 2.86mi. Both run off of my phone's GPS, but I am thinking Fitbit is more accurate. I had mapped out my route, just shy of one mile to my turnaround spot, but I run for about 5-10 minutes around the the turnaround before I head back home. I know Fitbit has been fairly consistent, but MMR usually tracks almost the same mileage each day(between 2.0-2.4mi).

    Anyways... I have the Fitbit Versa... Does anyone with a fitbit that uses the GPS tracking find it to be accurate? Does it act fairly consistent? Just wondering! :)

    Apple cider vinegar has antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. It may also offer health benefits, such as aiding weight loss, reducing cholesterol, lowering blood sugar levels, and improving the symptoms of diabetes. I drink 2.5 Tbs daily by putting 1/2Tbs in my 20oz Water. I used to add lemon and liquid Stevia but now it’s just ACV and water.. I actually find it boring to drink water without it now..
    @Krysless2 What do you use the ACV for? Is it for taste, or another reason? Also, I didn't realize your water counter cup was that! I LOVE IT! I have to keep track how many times I filled my bottle-I bring so many reusable bottles with me to work, and try to keep track that way! When it gets too hot at work, though, I lose track because I keep going for more water!

    @Krysless2 my Fitbit always tracks my steps, I am just wondering why MMR vs Fitbit vary wildly on distance when both are tracking via gps... it's just hard to measure progress when my same run is getting different mileage at/around the same halfway point... fitbit will hit the mile mark, and MMR will say I made a mile about .25mi after.. just odd



    Edit: yes fitbit syncs steps to diary, but I wanted a way for my exercise to be logged in the diary for the little challenges MFP/Underarmor does... Sorry if that's confusing

    @Krysless2 and @HASWLRS Thanks for the tip ladies. I need a bigger water bottle!
    My smaller one just needs refilling too much....that's probably why drinks seem like a hassle.

    @Krysless2 You're absolutely right. I went ahead and pre chopped vegetables so I couldn't make the excuse of I'm to tired(lazy) at meal times. That is my first step.

    I realize that just because I'm working hard around the house doesn't give me the excuse to eat whatever. I am not actually burning a million calories painting a room and moving furniture.

    @Krysless2, love your inspirational post this morning! So many true statements....I can't tell you how many times I have said the words, "I can't snap my fingers and make it all go away" to myself!!

    That was quite a workout you posted! I am assuming that was in a gym? Hope you are having a better day today!

    I use endomondo as my GPS tracking for hiking and biking. Endomondo, Fitbit and MFP all synch together and the GPS measurement from endomondo and my Fitbit seem to be pretty close to the same mistance. I have an inspire HR.

    Hmmm, I'm am still curious why fitbit vs mapmyrun have such weird distances! My steps are roughly the same between the two! 🤷‍♀️
