Ever feel like you can not keep up with technology? I am not tech savvy, but I am stubborn (just ask my husband and son). So my new challenge is getting my Fitbit to work.
We use a Linux operating system called Ubuntu. The Fitbit does not seem to sync with it. So I try to sync with my iPad. Worked great. Once. Then I try with my iPhone. Worked...once. I'm pretty sure it's something I'm not doing right. Either that or the Fitbit doesn't like me.
Today I walked to my doctor's then to a mall that is about 2 kilometers away and back. One would think the Fitbit would be impressed. Instead it tells me that I only walked 2,300 steps and that the distance was .9 of a mile.
I have fought many a battle with fitness equipment, in which the fitness equipment usually wins. I have dealt with quilts, sewing machines, electronic gadgets and call centers where I can at least have the illusion of success. I will persist in getting this Fitbit to acknowledge my efforts! Or drive their help desk crazy.
Since I am writing about health, wellness and frustration, I'm going to mention something I really appreciate. Sparkspeople! Check the site out. Loads of information about health, fitness and for those who cook - recipes. They have calorie and fitness trackers. Even A1C trackers for diabetics. Exercise videos. All for free.
