Today I finally have took the time to grab my fitbit and connect it to the charger again. Everytime I forgot to connect the damn thing.
I do like the Fitbit. I bought it in January in order to use it to track my steps and use it with running. In January 2016 I had an operation because I had a damaged cartilage on my right knee. (2nd degree). This still hurts from time to time. I hoped that it wouldn't get in the way with running but I had to quit because it started to hurt quite a bit after all...
But I also tracked my total steps with the FitBit and found out that a good walk can burn just as much calories as running 5KM. I started logging all the food that I ate and drink. I eventually managed to go from 83KG at the end of Januari to 74KG right now. I had to buy some new pants because even using a belt wasn't sufficient anymore haha.
I also found out that my heart-rate is usually pretty low. Even when I'm running it won't go up as much as you'd expect. It's currently 52. While I'm asleep I found out that it drops below 50 and sometimes even reaches 38 for a while.
But the bit has been charged again, and I'm ready to continue my journey. Let's see if I can reach 70KG.
I'll end with a nice sunset I encountered while driving back home.
And join in on the fun and start your 365 days series too!

That's certainly what I'm trying to. But it is hard at times...
Especially when the whole body is just protesting a lot

You can track your steps. I aim to get at least 10K a day. It tracks the amount of stair you walk up. The amount of calories that you burn vs the amount of calories that you eat and drink (you need to enter that manually). Your heart-rate at intervals of 5 minutes (with excercise it's every minute). Your sleeping pattern (+ resting heart-rate if you wear it at night). And combined with it all it'll calculate your overall fitness. (i'm having 50-54 : Very good for men my age... although I don't feel like it)
Using that insight you can change a lot of bad habits for the better.
