Choices

I'm starving and I have, in house, ready to go, at least 4 great dinner options and another 4 mediocre ones. All of them will keep for several days so it does not really matter which goes tonight and which go on the next 7 nights. It's a plethora of dinner riches and a very hard choice. Kind of makes first world problems look like real problems!

I did go out this afternoon and should have waited until tomorrow. The sun was too bright and it was too hot but I survived. I really am driven by my stupid fitness tracker. I keep hearing how fitness trackers are just a waste of time and money. Not in my case. Not by a long shot.

But, I'm totally done for the day - hit my goal so it's ass on the couch until it flips to zero again at midnight. I have two more episodes of House of Cards and some other stuff on TiVo. And bears to knit.

I guess fitness trackers work or not depending on your mentality. I have a "habit builder" app (HabitBull) on my phone... It turns out I'm not motivated to do physio because it'll mean I can walk again, but I am motivated to do it for that little unbroken line of green dots...

(Still, at least it means I'm doing the physio, and I'll worry about the psychiatric implications later!)

I'm with you on the fitness tracker usefulness. I have gotten a lot out of the various ones I've used in the last 16 months. First there was a Fitbit, but the band broke after eight months and I never got round to replacing it. Instead I started using purely phone-based apps, like MyFitnessPal (when I was focused on shifting the pregnancy weight) and now Strava, which is quite intelligent about recording activities. If I set it off when I cycle to nursery to pick up the kids, it stops recording when I'm off the bike & fetching them, and starts itself up again without any intervention so I have an accurate time/distance when I get home.

I just bought a fitness tracker today, after much deliberation. So, I'm happy to read this!

Oh! I do hope you enjoy tracking yourself. I figured when I got mine, that I'd pay attention for a week at best and then lose it. That was in March of 2015. I am totally driven by this thing which is such a good thing for me. I hope even better for you!!
