Almost there!
I don’t know how many miles I might have walked without this thing. Maybe a two-fifths as many, since in the year before the Fitbit I considered it adequate to walk a couple of miles a day. Now I feel kind of sedentary if I don’t get at least five. So yeah, I’d say the $60 bucks was well spent.

It keeps on ticking.
Lately I’ve been doing these challenges with Fitbit friends. You try to get the most steps in a week, or a weekend. For a contest with no cash prizes, it’s amazing how motivating it can be. Maybe you’re getting ready for bed and notice that you’re only a couple hundred steps behind the leader. So you decide on a quick turn around the block. Or you have to run to Walgreen’s and decide to walk instead of drive. That kind of thing. It all adds up.
That’s a lot of miles, period–win, win!
Wow. That’s amazing. I would have guessed that 6M steps would be impossible for that short of a duration — which is a testament to how much you’re walking.
