Fitbit Charge HR

I haven't posted about my fitbit in awhile, not since last summer. I admit, I have fallen off the fitness and Zumba train lately, mostly because I've been so busy with shows and work and life! But I treated myself to an after-Christmas present - a new Fitbit Charge HR. It has a heart rate monitor, it's very cool! I went for a quick run last weekend to test it out and it was great! I stayed in my cardio zone without pushing myself to the extreme. My legs are feeling it though, oy. Hopefully this will get me back on the fitness train.

Fitbit steps

Hairspray is on every other night. Since my Fitbit clips on, I wear it under my costumes. Guess which nights are show nights!

Walkin'

Yesterday we had a big event at work that had me walking here, there, and everywhere.

It's usually very hard for me to get my 10,000 steps in, and I only hit my goal if I go to zumba. But I had passed 13,000 steps by 6:30. Phew, my dogs were barkin'!

Flu

I have the flu. I feel like death. This is day 3 and I think I might be getting better. But I won't be dragging myself out to any new year's celebrations, I don't think. Well, maybe I can make it to my sister's place to sit on her couch and watch TV. My fitbit tracks my sleep - this was 2 nights ago. I was very restless, lol! Let's hope I'm over the worst of it. And happy 2015!

Staying Fit

Between Rent opening this week and some changes at work, I have been too busy for Zumba. I know, so sad!! But my FitBit is keeping me fit. I try to get in 10,000 steps, and it helps when I'm in the theatre walking up and down the aisles in the audience, checking on lights and stuff.

I also get a bit of help from my work mate, who leaves me treats on my desk. This morning I got a lovely breakfast treat, made with chia seeds, hemps seeds, maple syrup, cocoa powered, milk and coconut flakes. It was so healthy, filling and DELICIOUS!

Fitbit Flex

Earlier this month when we were in New York, we walked everywhere. I started wondering how many steps we walked in the 5 days we were there. So my hubby bought me a Fitbit Flex, which I love! You wear it on your wrist and it tells you how many steps you've taken and how many km you've walked. It syncs easily on my iPhone to other apps, like myfitnesspal. I enter in what I eat there and my Fitbit tells me how many calories I've burned. It's a great way to watch my weight, but I'm more concerned about being active. On days when I do Zumba I burn so many calories I can have another meal! It also tracks your sleep and lets you know how many times you were restful during the night. I've been trying to get more hours of sleep, now that my Fitbit is making me aware of how little I sleep. I highly recommend the Fitbit Flex, I just love mine!
