Loving the FitBit (and their customer service)

I've been coveting a fitness tracker for some time now...so I decided to get my husband one for a present :) He graciously let me try it out for a week - and I loved it. Though I did get a little bit obsessed. I HAD to reach the 10,000 steps a day!

It told me how poor of a sleeper I am (I'm a mom, after all!) and did a great job of keeping track of my steps. It did get a little confused about the amount of stairs one climbs in a day, but other than that, it's a pretty amazing little machine.

Then, I lost it! It was attached to my running shorts and somehow it fell off. I looked everywhere. I felt horrible - I lost my husband's new toy. So I decided to contact customer service. That was my most awesome idea. They have the most amazing customer service. They replaced it - free of charge! A company replaced a $99 item for free! What a way to make loyal customers.

Yep - loyal forever. Though my husband won't loan it to me anymore....But you should definitely try it out - it is a great little fitness tracker and the have AWESOME customer service!!

He did a better job exercising that I did last week!
While I won't be wearing the fitbit this week - but I will be tracking my training! It's week 3 or my half marathon training.

Here is the plan:
Monday - short stroller run & cardio
Tuesday - lower body
Wednesday - interval run
Thursday - cardio
Friday - upper body & Tempo run
Saturday - rest (aka going to a toddler birthday party!)
Sunday - 7 mile run

So far I've been really good about getting the runs in, but not the cardio...I do need to find some less hilly routes too!

Wish me luck!

  1. Wow! That is amazing customer service!!!! SOunds like a neat toy. Just so you know buying it for your hubbie was a smart way to try it out :). I am terrible about doing the extras above running!!! I am trying to get better about it though. I am on a plank kick right now :)
