Fit-bitten

LIAM WAITING FOR HIS WALK TO ADD 2500 STEPS TO MOM'S FITBIT

I am coming up to the one year anniversary of purchasing and wearing and incorporating Fitbit into my life, October 20, 2017
I have been Bitten by the Fitbit device. It is an addiction. It controls my actions. I love that it does. I  am an exhausted controller of me. I need someone else to help. I got it with my Fitbit.

Last year, I wrote a story about it. Here is a refresher.

An excerpt from it
 What I have Done to Get Credit for my Exercise on Gym Equipment

Swung one arm while on the treadmill, using the other to type on my iPad...precarious
Hooked my Fitbit on the handlebars of my home row machine
Exaggerated hand motions while walking on both gym and home treadmills
Strapped my Fitbit to the pedal of my home row machine
Stuffed my Fitbit in my sock for all machines
These have been mostly successful...still working on the sock insertion 

Really???
I did all that???

A year later I have discarded all these tricks
 and figured out a doable step-accruing routine

What works

walking in place 
while waiting on a line
  
plants
 one a time, taking to sink and back (I have many plants)

laundry 
increasing trips up and down stairs

parking
 far away from my destination
  
LIRR
walking the platform at the station when train-waiting

regular health club workouts
