This is the Data from a Day walking around Boston
Last year I jumped on the workout/diet train with a vengeance due to my weighing in at close to 200lbs. I realize that even at 6ft 1in that 200lbs is not terrible, but I was feeling bad and wanted to get down to 180lbs. A friend of mine gave me his old FitBit and I went to town on the workout train. After using the website and clip for about 6 months I managed to reach my target of 180lbs and went into maintain mode. That is….until the holidays came around. This usually feels like the case, I will be good through September and then that last quarter I just fall off the wagon. Well it’s January and that means it’s time to saddle up and get cracking! (and a few other euphemisms)
Sarah and I both picked up the new FitBit Ultra’s and have been tracking the best we can. The new ultra has the ability to detect when you go up stairs and will display how many floors you have climbed. Because of this, I have started climbing the 6 flights of stairs at work, just for fun! (Who climbs stairs for fun!?!?!?! oh wait, I do!) We have been careful about what we eat and have even been following some of the teachings in the 4 hour body book by Tim Ferriss. The goal this time? Under 180lbs and better toning. How to go about this? Monitoring on FitBit, adjusting intake to be under my daily burn, and increase activity. I rearranged the basement for better use of the workout equipment we have, and plan to make use of the Kinect workout games. I know that last bit sounds cheesy, but you would be surprised how well it works.
Please feel free to follow my progress on my FitBit profile, and if you have a FitBit, ADD ME!
