Recently my brother commented on Facebook that he was now the proud owner of a Fitbit and I made the typical little-sister snarky comment about needing one in order to add another facet to my life-long competition with him. I'm only competitive with him because he's smarter than I am and it pisses me off; but I have more college degrees, so there. Anyways, I had been a little curious about them for a while and decided what the heck. Today I went out and bought one, its pink since Lorelai helped me pick it out, and it's bitchen.
The technology they fit into this miniscule computer is amazing. And it's pink and has flashing lights on it.
In the 9ish hours I've had the thing I've noticed a few things.
1. It gets a little confused if you put in a target weight over your current weight. Yes, over. I want to gain weight but don't want to do it by sitting on my ass and eating potato chips. Not that that doesn't sound fantastic in its own way.
2. Apparently the average Fitbit user doesn't drink much bourbon, its not an option in the searchable foods. Yes, bourbon is food.
3. I find myself more than a little irritated I didn't get "credit" for the 5k "run" I did this morning before I bought the thing. I'm a little worried I'm going to get obsessive about this thing. But it's ok because it is pink and has flashing lights on it.
