SLAM DUNK!

After a day of walking about, and biking back and forth to the YMCA (seven miles roundtrip) and spending 125 minutes on the elliptical machine... My new fitbit recorded over 20,000 steps.  At least the fitbit was impressed as per the message that I received below:

slam dunk!

You've walked 20,000 steps

When it comes to steps, you're not playing around, but you did just add the High Tops badge to your locker.

I had owned this FITBIT for a grand total of 24 hours when I had already convinced myself that I had lost the darn thing.  I had clipped it onto my pocket and when I returned home from driving in the car in the early afternoon it was gone.  I searched the car, and miraculously it had fallen on the side of the seat.   I am going to have to be very careful with this new 'toy'.  This 'toy' is just over 2" in length with the silicone/metal clip and weighs a whopping 2/100ths of a pound!
