Random Ramblings: My Relationship with my FitBit

Today I went to check my FitBit and it was dead and any reason I had for moving my body died too. I started thinking about the love/hate relationship with this thing on my wrist.

Reasons I LOVE my FitBit:

• It really does cause me to walk more and pay attention to my steps

• I get up to go to the water fountain just to get 100 more steps

• I go on longer walks with Phoebe

• I don’t mind walking to the basement for laundry (stair count baby)

• It wakes me up gently with it’s alarm

• It tells me how I sleep

Reasons I HATE my FitBit:

• I feel guilty when I don’t hit my step goal

• My friends always beat me and I hate myself

• When it dies or I forget to wear it, I have no reason to move

• On lazy Sundays I feel awkward when it says I have 50 steps

• It tells me how I sleep, which is awful (is 4 hours a normal night for anyone else???)

• I think my happiness genuinely relies on how well I do with my step goals

Am I the only one who feels like this? Is this what they are talking about when they technology is taking over our lives? If you are my FitBit friend can you just like not move for 3 days so I can catch up?

Is there really any reason to live?
