FitBit One

I got a FitBit. Hopefully this well help me track activity better. I average 5,000 steps a day if I am conscious about moving, but my NORMAL and USUAL sedentary lifestyle averages me about 1,500 to 2,000 steps a day. Can you see how dieting alone would not allow me to lose weight? I seriously need to MOVE.

I will share my progress. I have just had it for a week, so it’s new. I just tracked my normal activities this week. Starting tomorrow I will exercise on the treadmill again.
