The Goodyear Blimp is something we get to see at least once a year. It went by a few days ago, and I snapped a quick photo of it.
It reminded me that I feel like a blimp. All we have been doing for the last month is eating and drinking. And it's not over yet.
All my exercise has kept me from gaining weight, but now my hubby and I are owners of the Fitbit Blaze. I still need time to figure it out, but so far, so good. Yesterday, I walked over 12400 steps.
Do you have a Fitbit?

Yay on your step goal! I'm a fitbit user :-) Lately though I've been under-motivated and it's main use has been to tell me all the steps I'm missing during the day. Ha. I would love to ride in a zeppelin some day

@DianneN When I can have one I'll be interested to see how well I sleep at night. Maybe I'll find out that I get better sleep than it seems like I get some days.

@MarshaMusselman I have to figure out how to set that up. I'm interested in that, too.

I don't have a Fitbit but they do intrigue me. Your steps are quite impressive and mine would pale in comparison. Have fun with it as I imagine it would be a great incentive!

I don't have one yet, but both my daughters do and they like having it. When I am able to get one I'm hopeful that by then I'll have a smartphone to sync it to. At present, I just need to get my bills paid and maybe later get that or the newer style phone.

I have not seen a blimp in years. I do not know what a Fitbit is.

I never see blimps at home. A Fitbit is something you wear on your wrist and sync with a smartphone. It helps with keeping track of fitness, calories, heart monitor, sleep patters, etc. Mine is also a watch. I need to learn more about its use.

I do not have a Fitbit. Thought about it, but I have bigger fish to fry. Yes, I do need to get motivated to walk a bit more. That will come once warm weather gets here. The only exercise I get is through work or when I am in my rocking chair. LOL. Winter is bleck.

@DianneN I'll soon get my fair share chasing a little one around.

It's been out for a long time now, and I got along without it. My husband wanted one for himself and asked if I wanted one, too. Who am I to say no? Lol! I'm sure you get plenty of exercise, even in that rocking chair. I know all about winter. Ugh!

Oh gosh, I know I've been slipping in the food department lately . . . both Hubby and I have felt like blimps lately. Hubby uses some app on his phone and aims for 10,000 steps per day. Me, I don't measure any workouts/steps that I do . . . I just do what I do and feel a bit fit for the day

I don't. But everyday I walk from office to my rented place. It isn't short distance. I will try using my pedometer to know how many steps that is.
