Oh boy...
So this week I made it to the gym twice this week (so far, today is a possibility).
I tried the ab machine yesterday, and I felt the burn - but I wondered... is it worth doing an ab machine when you are round and have a belly? lol... I'm not looking to get a six-pack, I just want to burn calories and work muscles. So, for now, I'll keep doing it.
Yesterday after the gym, I went to add my water intake to my Fitbit app. It "updated" as soon as I opened it (I had used it earlier in the day with no change). Once updated it was UGLY. (I don't like change, SO in typical Melody-style, I got very annoyed)
I liked the one-glance, add from the home screen, easy look. The tiles. Now it is more detailed and "data-friendly" as they like to say. I am not a data person. I don't want to have to take a lot of time to chart my food or water, or whatever. That's why going to Kid-Shape with my son years ago failed me. We had to write everything down in a booklet. Too much work. (for me) If it isn't easy, I don't want to do it.
And that's when I will fail.
So, I'm very bummed that Fitbit messed up my app dashboard. If I find it too annoying I won't want to use it. And I need to chart my food, or I will fail. It's a no win situation guys... I spent my evening downloading every other app I could find. most of them require you to upgrade in order to pull in info from your Fitbit, and some require upgrade in order to track water, food, and sleep. (the one that had a similar look of the Fitbit before the update required the upgrade - ugh - why isn't anything easy??)
So, here I am, still using the Fitbit app. BUT, I am looking into Google Fit. I know nothing about it, lol. But I'm looking into it.
Anyway, when I complained to Fitbit, they basically said "yes, we got the fact that you hate the app. But it isn't going anywhere. We'll record your input." LOL..... I just got brushed off from Fitbit Support. What are you going to do but laugh really?
Oh well, enough complaining about the Fitbit app...sorry for the rant. I hate change. Like when you get a new cell phone and you (well, I) hate it for two weeks before finally starting to understand how to do things on it, or getting a new cable provider and having to find your favorite channels all over again...yeah, little things irk me. That must mean I lead a pretty simple life, huh?
We'll see if I get used to this app, or keep looking for a new one. That will also make up my mind if I get a new Fitbit or go for a different type of tracker.
Hope your weekend is full of fun! My son starts school Monday, I can't believe it's school-time again...where did the summer go??? I always get sad this time of year, like I am sad for him that his summer is over, lol.
With school starting, I will have to adjust my gym schedule, since kiddo does cyber school, and I have to make sure he is doing his work. But it'll all fall into place, the first week might be an adjustment, but it'll work out.
I'm off to Aldi's this weekend to pick up some veggies and fruit for "snacks" since kiddo complained that we needed snacks. (sorry, this is all the snacks I will be buying! lol...) He seems to be following in my footsteps. I have zero self-control with food. If it is here, I will eat it. That's why I don't keep things like chips and cakes in the house (then regret that I don't have anything salty or sweet, lol). I have to help him curb that now, so he isn't my age and still struggling!!
