Fitbit

I finally did it. After nearly a year of hemming and hawing, I actually bought myself a FitBit Charge 2! I had two reasons to hesitate. The first one is that it is really just a toy. An expensive toy. But there was a Black Friday deal at Sportchek, plus I used all the my remaining Scene points, plus I got a 10% coupon for signing up to their email list! Regular $200, I got it for $50! I spent all yesterday afternoon getting it set up and playing with it. Yes, it is a toy, but it's a fun toy!

My second concern was that I have tiny wrists. I was worried that a the Charge 2 would look ridiculous on me. I considered getting the Alta instead but I really wanted all the features that the Charge 2 has. Like the heart rate tracker, the multi-sports tracker, the nice clock face etc. But once I got it on, it doesn't look weird at all. I'm glad I waited for the sale and I'm glad I got the once I really wanted. They only had it in black or plum. My first inclination is to buy the black. Boring. So I went with plum. I like it. Enough colour to not be boring but not so flashy too!

So of course I had to try it out today. And luckily enough, Core de Force MMA Speed was the Challenge du Jour!! Whooo! It worked great! I burned 208 calories. My peak BPM was 178 and I averaged 148 BPM.

One thing is... the battery on my phone is pretty crappy so I don't leave my bluetooth on. I'll turn it on periodically throughout the day just so it will sync but I won't have it continually connected. Oh well, no biggie. I'm eager to check my progress throughout the week and see how I'm doing. Wish me luck!!
