First:

I carried the GPS to work today, so I could determine precisely how long the walk to work is.

The walk to work was 1.0 miles, the walk from work was 1.1 miles.

But what amused me was the elevation graph.

It’s ALWAYS uphill.

Second:

Over the past year and a half I managed to put on enough weight that I stepped on the scale and read: 155.* That is more than I feel is healthy for me, so I need to lose at least 15 pounds. (Hence the pedometer testing.) Because of its integration with MyFitnessPal, I decided to get a FitBit One, not to track steps as much as to keep track of my calorie intake / outtake.

The FitBit One was waiting for me when I got home, so of course I immediately set it up.

Because I am a dork, this amused me:

And of course I’m adding the FitBit One to my pedometer tracking.

I can’t wait to find out of the One overcounts steps to the same extent as the Ultra.

(rubs hands together in glee)

I’M SO EXCITED!

* While I was clawing my way out of the pit of depression, I essentially stopped weighing myself, because I didn’t need one more thing to feel bad about. I believe that was the correct decision. Unfortunately, I was also been binge eating, so now my pants are too tight and it’s time to pay attention to what I’m putting in my body again.
