It's Just Like Christmas!!!

I am so excited! I just posted a couple a days ago how much I loved using the My Fitness Pal app on my phone, but I have gotten myself a new fitness toy. That is right a fitness toy.

The other day when I was talking to my weight loss coach, she asked me what I had done to reward myself for the hard work, time, sweat, and tears that I had put into losing my 150 pounds. I told her that I went out and bought new clothes, and she said that that was something that I had to do. Had I taken the time to reward myself for the two years and continuous hard work that I put into making my healthy lifestyle. Well to this I answered no. I had thought that getting new clothes was enough, but when I thought about it she was right. I decided that I wanted to reward myself with something that I would use all of the time.

So I finally busted out some of the money that I had been saving and bought myself a Fitbit Flex. I just got it tonight, and I must say that I am in love. I got it out right away, put it on, and took it for a spin. I went on a three mile walk, just so I could see what it does.  It tracks my movement, tells me how many calories I am burning, and sends it to my computer. It also has a app that syncs to my phone. I am able to put in my food that I am eating , puts in my calories that I have burned, and lets me know what I need to eat to make sure that  I reach my calorie goals.

Tonight I think I will try one of the features that is very interesting. I can track my sleep cycles, and set and alarm on my bracelet that will vibrate to wake me up. I am so excited to be able to use it for the entire day tomorrow.  I love being so excited about something that is going to help me keep going on my healthy life journey. Hope to give everyone an update later on my thoughts as I get to use my new gadget more!

Have a Happy and Healthy Weekend!!
