THANKS A MILLION

thanks a million
phrase of thanks
  1. 1.
    informal
    thank you very much.

Hey fitbit!  Thanks a million.
These were my total steps during the three months that I have owned this device.   I purchased the device on September 3.


SEPTEMBER 3-SEPTEMBER 30


OCTOBER 1 - OCTOBER 31

NOVEMBER 1 - NOVEMBER 30


SEPTEMBER           677,302 STEPS
OCTOBER                920,446 STEPS
NOVEMBER       1,101,618 STEPS

through the first three months of being a 'fitbitter' I have logged 2,699,366 steps.

This level of steps, this level of walking is completely unsustainable.  At some point, I imagine that I will ratchet down to one hour of walking per day, or perhaps return to the elliptical machine, especially when the cold wintry weather really settles in.  Nevertheless, I am amazed that I have accomplished so much.  It does make me wonder how little activity I might have been involved in prior to September 3 without the silent taunting of the fitbit.  These days, I am always eager to run any errand that involves walking.  I walk in place (march in place) when waiting in line.  I walked in place while waiting for my dentist appointment yesterday.  I know I may look like a bit of a kook.  And I freely admit - I do not care.  Many people give me a knowing smile, with the question: 'Getting your steps in?'    Every half hour spent walking (even walking in place) surely is expending more calories than sitting down in a chair.  I have stepped when watching what little television I do watch - especially when in a hotel room.  It just seems like a much better way to spend an hour of TV time than being a couch potato.  I had previously mastered the art of being a couch potato.  I prefer to be a master stepper.  I prefer to be a walker.  I prefer to be fitter.  I prefer being the person today, over the person that I was one year ago.  Even when I am unhappy about life's many curveballs, I can always derive satisfaction from my daily accomplishment of exercising.  A bad day after walking ten miles, is a far superior day to a bad day that does not include a ten mile walk.
