Wanting to exercise more?

Fitbit made me a healthier person

Wanting to exercise more?

Top three reasons why to get a Fitbit.

All year long a bunch of my friends bought a fitbit and loved it! Everytime I would hang out with them they would talk about it in every conversation. They would beg me to buy one, but I kept coming up with an excuse as to why I couldn’t. For all of the excuses I used they could give me a reason why that excuse wasn’t valid. I finally caved and bought a fitbit about three weeks ago, and I absolutely LOVE it! I believe that everybody should get a fitbiit for these reasons:

  1. They track how many hours of sleep you get each night.
  2. They are really motivating.
  3. They help you become a healthier person.

I always said that I didn’t sleep enough and never felt refreshed the next day. Once I bought the fitbit I realized how much I actually slept. I was right, I was not sleeping enough. I was only sleeping around four hours each night which is not good. If you reach your goal then it gives you a green smiley face. The smiley faces were really motivating to get more sleep.

One of the most motivating features about the fitbit is that it tracks how many steps you take in a day. The default setting is 10,000 steps in one day. Everyday I make it a priotrity to reach my step goal. There are instances where at night I realize I need more steps so I will go and walk in order to reach the goal. It has been really motivating to me in the fact that I now exercise more on a daily basis.

Before I got my fitbit I didn’t make the healhiest choices. I would take the elevator instead of taking the stairs, ate unhealthy foods, and only slept four hours each night. Once I bought my fitbit, I started realizing that I wanted to make better decisions. I wanted to get the stars for reaching my goals. The fitbit can keep track of the foods I eat and I didn’t want to have to log the bad foods and be over in calories, so I started eating better. I have found in the past two weeks or so that I want to be a healthier person!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
