The Fits

I bought a Fitbit in May that i bought myself for my birthday.  Since then it has given me a few fits!
Last month when i had to travel to Ohio for work , i got out my suitcase of course. When i got home and unpacked, my Fitbit disappeared.  Todd and i had walked that morning to a nearby restaurant for breakfast, then on way home i stopped at a garage sale and then walked back home a different path.  I thought for sure it fell off at the garage sale and some lucky person found out. I retraced my steps a few times and looked everywhere but didn't find it.  I was soooo bummed that i lost the dang thing after only having it less than 2 months.  The stupid thing costs 140.00!  Fast forward a few weeks and i got my suitcase back out , there it was in the skinny flat pocket.  When i put my hand it in to get something out while unpacking, it must have came off.  It doesnt take much for it come off. I dont have the newer version that has an actually watch clasp.  Mine is like a trucker hat- one side has bumps the other has holes- fit the bumps in the holes.  LOL
I wore it on my Sturgis trip although i hesitated taking it with me.  It survived fine the first day. Then the second day, while riding  it flew off my arm. I felt it fly off but we were at a place where you couldnt really turn around or pull over.  Thank goodness my friend Jacqueline was a few bikes behind us and saw it fly off.  She was going slow enough that she stopped, jumped off bike and picked it up and caught up with us. We had no idea she even stopped. At our next stop for gas, she told me she had my Fitbit. I was soooo relieved.
This thing has given me a lot of stress in a few months i've had it.   Oh well, I am wearing it until i lose it again. If i do lost it, i'm not buying another one!

The Fits were a punk band from England and were popular in the late 70's early 80's.  I remember listening to them when i was in high school.  Thought it was "fitting" to play a song by The Fits.

This song is called Disease

Have a great Friday y'all!!!   I will be doing everything i can to stay indoors.   The heat has zapped me!

Diets suck but being fat sucks more

I struggle with my weight. I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I am a stress eater and I've been stressed for the last few years.  I think I'm the only bride that actually gains weight before their wedding. I almost didn't fit into my dress. 

If you remember though, I got married a month after my dad had his double lung transplant.  I was seriously stressed for several months leading up to that.

It's summer now and you can't go into any stores without seeing swimsuits at the very front.  Makes me cringe! 

I have no one to blame but myself.  When I get home from work I could be walking around the block but instead I sit in the recliner with my dogs in my lap.  Oh and I really love food. My favorite thing is to try new restaurants.  

Many of my friends have bought Fitbits or  other tracking devices lately and they seemed to really like them.  I drank the Kool-aid too.  I decided I was going to do that for myself for my birthday. So a few weeks ago I bought a Fitbit Charge.  It's not the fancy one that measures heart beats and GPS and other bells and whistles.  Must admit, I haven't lost any weight but I do take the long way around to my desk at work and if I'm really close to achieving the 10,000 daily steps, I'll walk around the house or backyard until I do. I figure any extra steps is good. 

I'm so very grateful that my husband is very very supportive and tells me all the time he loves me no matter what and finds me beautiful.  I've had 2 relationships in the past where they were pretty mean and unsupportive if I gained weight. That alone was so stressful. I felt pressured all the time. I know I need to lose the weight for my health but I also want to feel good about myself.  

It's a challenge every day.  I really do love  tacos!
