My New Little Gadget

I decided I wanted a pretty complete picture of my fitness, so I went ahead and got ActiveLink. It's a little device you wear all day and it tracks all your activity based on you movement. After finding your baseline, it helps you reach your personal goals by setting challenges for you which you can adjust if you feel you need to. ActiveLink is directly linked to my WW account/phone, so I can see if I need to bump things up to reach my goals. 

I'm in my assessment period still (the first week is assessing your NORMAL activities. You're not to suddenly decide to sign up for Zumba when you've spent months doing nothing more than toting laundry baskets from room to room), but each night I get a little picture of what's going on when I plug into my computer. I've been pleasantly surprised to find I'm not as much of a couch potatoe as I thought. I'm reaching my minimum activity level by the afternoon and earning activity points based on the rest of my activities for the day. So far, doing just my normal things, I'm earning 2 activity points each day. I'm looking forward to seeing the full report by the end of the month and to see the first 12 week challenge ActiveLink sets up for me. 

I love gadgets, I love rewards, I love to reach personal goals... ActiveLink seems to be the perfect little tool to help dangle carrots in front of my nose as I journey down this path God has me on.
