10,000 steps.....


So I got this cool thing called a Fit Bit Flex for my birthday. I wear it on my wrist and it tracks my steps, calories burned, and even my sleep patterns.  It then syncs up to the computer and my iPhone to let me know my progress.  It is so awesome.  Much like the Fitness Pal app, it has made me aware of how unhealthy my current lifestyle has been.  The FP app let me know how much sugar I was consuming.  The Fit Bit lets me know how sedentary my life style is.  I know this is partly due to my type of work and the winter weather, but still....my word!! So you are supposed to have at least 10,000 steps a day to be healthy... this is where I am at so far.  However, I am going to get there.
 
Day 1- 2579
Day 2- 5925
Day 3- 3001
Day 4- 3324
Day 5- 7461
 
Add to this some poor sleeping patterns and this girl was not shocked, but saddened by what she has let happen.  Time to pull myself up by the boot straps and make some changes......
 
By the way...I will let you know my weight loss too, not a number (I am too vain for that) but that is not my total purpose.  It is health, energy, and longevity. I have a busy family to keep up with and enjoy.

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
