It’s not secret that Fitbits are taking over the world. \u00a0Everywhere you look, someone’s got one on their wrist or in their pocket. \u00a0It’s a great little invention and one that’s being made by dozens of other manufacturers now.<\/p>\n
If you don’t know, a Fitbit is essentially a glorified pedometer. \u00a0It counts your steps, calories burned and stairs climbed and syncs them (through either your computer or your smart phone) to the web. \u00a0You then get pretty graphs about how far you’ve traveled, how many flights you’ve climbed, and a bunch of other stuff that’s supposed to motivate you to be healthier.<\/p>\n
Here’s what a random day in January looked like for me. \u00a0Yes, I blurred out my weight, ’cause I’m chubby right now. (We’ll get to that shortly.)<\/p>\n
