8 Thoughts You Have When Putting on a FitbitĀ For The First Time
Personal Photo

To get in shape, it may be useful to be able to keep track of how many calories you burn, your heart rate, and your steps. Your next step is to pick out which Fitbit is right for you. Do you want GPS? Or water resistance? How about texts and calls coming to your Fitbit? Once you've found the right one, you take it out of the box. What do you do next?

I recently got a Fitbit Alta HR and here are my first thoughts.

1. I burn calories while I sleep?!

Molly Roloff

Fitbits restart every day at 12 A.M. I went to sleep around 11 P.M. and when I woke up, I noticed that I had already burned around 800 calories. This is literally answering my prayers–sleeping and burning calories?? Sign me up!

2. How can I accessorize the watch?

Molly Roloff

When I bought my Fitbit at Target, I let out a sigh of relief as I realized that my wrist was a small size. This is because the small came in pink with rose gold! Naturally, I had to accessorize to see what bracelets and rings would make my calorie counter a little more trendy. From cute athleisure to rose gold rings, there is a way to make the watch look good with any outfit!

3. I can add friends?

Once I found out that I could challenge friends to competitions based on our steps, I linked my Facebook contacts and friended everyone! Oops.

4. Should I really run around my house to reach my step count?

Is it necessary to reach your step count? Yes. Will I take extreme measures to reach it? Absolutely.

5. How does it know how I'm asleep?

This little watch is literally smarter than I am.

6. People can cheer you on?

Molly Roloff

I added a photo from a recent beach yoga session to the "yoga" page to see if anyone would "cheer" me on. I got over fifty people cheering me on in less than an hour! Thank you, supportive Fitbit community!

7. Reminders to move

Buzz! There is your Fitbit again, telling you to turn off Netflix, get off your couch, and start moving.

8. When I log my food, should I add in that extra side of ranch?

Molly Roloff

At the end of the day, we are all human. Is that extra sauce really going to make that much of a difference? Probably not, so do not beat your self up for it and continue on with your day!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a ā€œreal person,ā€ I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
