SIX MILLION STEPS

The fitbit counts steps. If the device is being worn, it counts steps. It matters not whether you are aggressively exercising or very passively walking to the refrigerator. Nevertheless, I noticed something this morning. I have noticed that I am less than 7000 steps away from logging my six millionth step since last September 3 when I purchased my fitbit. This information is likely interesting to only one person in the world. Me. As this is my blog, I decided to document this today. I should reach my ten millionth step sometime later this year. I admit it - I am a fan of dubious achievements.

Morning Elliptical: 910 calories

Late Afternoon Elliptical: 945 calories

Early Evening FIVE MILE walk with my daughter

MID-DAY UPDATE @ 11:00AM local time

As expected, after my morning workout...I surpassed six millions 'lifetime' steps since September 3, 2015

It appears that my next milestone on my fitbit will be my 'lifetime' achievement of 'traversing' THREE THOUSAND MILES which I will surely reach within the next three weeks.

IT MIGHT BE AWHILE BEFORE I DO THAT AGAIN

After my evening stranded in Shipshewana, I managed to get up early and spend two hours on the hotel elliptical machine prior to breakfast. Late in the day, after I returned home to Chicago, I had a hankering to return to the elliptical machine. I used the wifi in the fitness room to watch a movie on netflix - Escape From L.A. As it turns out, the movie was not that great. It is a sequel to a movie that I have never seen - Escape From New York. Only the sequel is available on netflix. The 90 minute movie lined up great with my 90 minute workout. Later in the evening, it was time to watch the Republican Debate on CNN. While I was considering watching this latest slugfest, I chose instead to return to the fitness room and listen to the debate over the radio. There is a TV in the fitness room but the sound is not loud enough to really hear what everyone was saying - so I just concentrated on listening to the debate on my phone (iheartradio) with my headphones. When the day ended, I realized that I had spent FIVE HOURS on an elliptical machine. It might be awhile before I do that again! It is a dubious accomplishment and I am proud of myself that I had enough energy to do this in one day. It was a somewhat ridiculous endeavor - but I fell asleep quite quickly last evening.

WELCOME TO INDIA

Earlier this month, my fitbit reported that I had walked the distance to Japan since I had become a 'fitbitter' on September 3, 2015. I missed that notification when I received it on February 1st. According to fitbit, the length of Japan is 1869 miles. Late last night, my fitbit congratulated me for traversing the equivalent distance of India from North to South - 1997 miles.

This was the notification that I had received earlier this month congratulating me on walking the equivalent distance of Japan. I will admit, that I do get a kick out of these 'badges' that I earn from fitbit. I wonder 'where I am going next." I suppose that I will find out when I get there!
