Fitbit, Baseline #1

[lagilman]

First note: the fitbit is easy to affix to either my bra strap or my waistband without a problem.  Well, one problem: because of my, hrm, slightly-built nature, clipping it to my front leaves a visible lump under fitted clothing, and to the side means I'm constantly aware of it brushing my arm when I type.  So... that needs to be figured out.

Today was, as promised, a sluggish-writer baseline day. With the exception of running out to the store to pick up cat food (more or less around the block and down the street) and laundry, I didn't leave my apartment all day, nor did I exercise (except the usual mid-writing-session stretches, which I do to keep the blood moving).

As of 10:30pm, I've walked 5,200 steps (2 1/4 miles, more or less).

That's nowhere near the 10,000 steps/day they suggest, but not too bad considering the circumstances, and probably proof of my family's belief that even when I'm sitting still, I'm still moving.

Now I need to establish an "out and about" baseline, to figure out how active I am when I head downtown for work, and go from there...

If you don't mind having the FB showing, you can also clip it to the neck opening of your top. (That's where I clip mine when I'm not wearing a bra.) That also makes it easier to check your step numbers compulsively throughout the day. :-)

If it makes you feel better, it's not your, ah, slightly-built nature that makes the Fitbit poke out. It does it to me too. :)

It was suggested that I could clip it to the front of my bra and use the hollow of my cleavage to "hide" it when I was wearing a button down shirt. This person (female) had...clearly never seen someone with less than a C cup. 0-0
