So, Michael pulled out my data. I have to say what he could get wasn’t impressive. <\/p>\n

What interests me is the activity data: how many steps, how many miles, how many flights of stairs, steps over the course of the day, what time of the day I’m most active…<\/p>\n

So. I got daily totals for steps and distance.<\/p>\n

Yeah, not really impressive. But, at least it’s something to play with.<\/p>\n

\"Weekly_Steps_FitBit\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we have weekly steps. That peak in July 2012 was our vacation. The trough immediately following was the discovery of my cousin Ben’s death and his funeral. Talk about literal highs and lows…<\/p>\n

The low point of the end of Dec 2012 \/ start of Jan 2013 was vacation week, where I laid around and read books and didn’t do much of anything else.<\/p>\n

The lowest point was when I got pink eye AND some kinda virus the same week, and my only activity was getting up to go to the room of resting.<\/p>\n

\"FitBit_Monthly_Trimmed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the data presented by month. Please note that I removed the partial months of January 2012 and July 2013.<\/p>\n

Interesting to note that the drops from October through March correlate with a rather nasty bout of depression. That was kind of a vicious circle: I didn’t walk because I was depressed, and the less I exercised, the more depressed I got. But you can see I’m slowly getting back on track.<\/p>\n

Something else I’d like to point out, is that FitBit didn’t give me any steps for bicycling, so a 20 mile bike ride counts for nothing as far as FitBit is concerned. But as far as my MOOD is concerned, it’s exercise, and definitely counts.<\/p>\n

Once I figure out the best way to do so, I’m going to take the data from my Omron pedometer and combine it with the FitBit data, and that should give me close to five years of data. What I wish I had was some calculable measure of my depression over those five years, so I could see how my exercise and depression relate over time. <\/p>\n

Not sure how to do that, however, since typically I don’t even realize I’m going through a bout of depression until I’m well into it. And it’s very hard to gauge “how depressed am I today” since that tends to be a comparison only to the previous day or two, which isn’t a very accurate measure.<\/p>\n

So, there’s the first of my data crunched. Once I figure out how to combine this with my Omron data, you can expect EVEN MORE EXCITING data, looking at steps over an even LONGER period of time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
