Ok, it's time to face it. 41 years without moving seriously begins to claim its toll. Because I have to lose a lot of weight and I like to follow the progression myself, I have bought a healthtracker to support me here. I know I'll do the work myself, but such a watch will give me more fun.
No gym
I do not believe the gym. So that is out in the open. I do not know anybody who persists in being consistent, and those who do, there you see, as good as no progress. But hey, most people get a good feeling about it and that is also worthwhile I guess. I myself have a job in which I am mainly inside my office. I had to find something that I can do outside and I do not have to go to a gym for. Because I can sit all day with the greatest ease, I wanted something that reminds me of the need to move.
What to do?
During the vacation, my attention was drawn to the watch that @lizzymontagne wore on her wrist. She has a Fitbit Charge 2. When she looked at her watch and then on her phone she compared her movement, mainly her steps, with friends where they had a challenge together. There is a lively competition about who can take the most steps a day. Well, that's something where I'd like to pick up the glove too!
Putting a bit of fun into this
So today I picked up my own watch to be able to move and challenge friends all together so we can work on our health.
Whether it be for weight loss or other health related stuff. I think putting the fun in sport will get you motivated.
Challenging friends
So when I let @lizzymontagne know I bought one I almost immediately got invited by her to a daily challenge which involves making the most steps a day! (Challenge Accepted!)
Steemfat 2
So what a coincidence it was reading a post by my good friend @exyle: Commitment to Steemfat. Basically he and his girlfriend @bkdbkd also like to lose some weight end get healthier all together but they also created a deadline for themselves. Well, at least @Exyle did. So that triggered me...
Let's help (challenge) each other
Since I bought this awesome watch I thought maybe it would be fun if you both do the same and then challenge each other every day to reach this goal together! We'll make it fun too!
Obviously, we also need to update our progress here on Steemit so our fellow Steemians can support us! We need exposure so we will not slack!
Whatta you think... Steemfat Challenge accepted? I did!
(Thanx for pointing me in this direction @lizzymontagne)
Fellow Steemians, have the best day! And don't forget, Life is for living!
