Fitbit Flex

Do I dare say that spring is here?? I certainly hope so, we are due for some nice weather so we can get out and enjoy it! I am ready to lose this baby tummy and sunshine is a big motivator in my world and I need all the help I can get :) I have had a Fitbit One for a few years but haven't used it since before I was pregnant. I used to be pretty god about remembering it but now a days I'm a bit more forgetful so I decided to try the Fitbit Flex instead. Since it's a bracelet and waterproof I can wear it all the time, even in the shower. I found a black one on Kijiji for $60 and strapped it on for the first time today. I'm not used to wearing anything on my wrist but it seems pretty comfortable so far. As for the stats it's pretty much the same, it can keep track of your steps and calories burned but it doesn't count the floors you've climbed which is a little disappointing. I don't think that it's as accurate either. Being on your wrist it mistakes certain movements as steps, like burping or rocking a baby so it over calculates your calories burned. I wish that they would make a One Model that could be worn on your ankle or around your neck so that I wouldn't forget it. Both models have got me up and moving so I guess that is good. Link and I can't wait for all our walks this summer!
