January 1 - What I'm Thankful for Today and Health Report

Happy New Year! I'll start with the health report. I took off the Fitbit today. I'm not going to wear it anymore as it doesn't give an accurate accounting of steps or sleep. I know I've gotten a lot of steps in today. My food has been all fruit and veggies with a veggie tray I bought. My beginning weight for 2021 is 182.2. That's actually down 2.4 pounds from yesterday. Only 12.2 pounds to go to my low weight for 2020. I'm thankful for the two pounds I lost overnight. Always a good thing. I'm thankful for the quiet relaxing day today. I'm not doing any work other than fixing the fresh fruit dishes and vegetable tray so I can munch the day away. I'm thankful for my sister and brother-in-law who came to share New Year's Day with me. They also came bearing gifts as seen in the photo above. I'll use all of them, especially the foot cycle, but while I watch TV as it doesn't work for under my desk. I don't have the room under my desk for it. The skillet is great. I'll be using that instead of my griddle from now on. It's the perfect size for me. And Baby Yoda, what's not to love? I can only hope he remains in my possession after my younger son sees him. That's my New Year's Day. How was your day? What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The collage belongs to me.

That was sweet of your family to bring you gifts. I stopped with my fitness device too, as I knew it wasn't accurate. I think I may try sweatcoin..as the one I downloaded now Map My Walk...is good in that it tells you calories burned,,,but like say I walk the same route, it will give me different readings for distance..However, it says it does that if your battery saver is on. I do like the calories burned feature and I am not sure if Sweatcoin does that.

@just4him I have a Lets Com which is a fitness device, but I haven't been that impressed with it.

Mine tells me calories burned too. I need something to accurately tell me my steps. I don't think any do that because you wear the device on your wrist. So, it's all wrist action.

I have exactly the same foot cycle that I also use for my arms... keep it against a wall, it moves while you use it.

@just4him I bought it when I injured my shoulder, my physiotherapist told me to use it at least 10 minutes a day to make it stronger.

That's what my sister said. I wish I could fit it under the desk, but I can't get close to the desk with it there. I hadn't thought about using it for the arms. Good idea, thanks.

That's great you know how many steps you get with the treadmill. I realized it's a huge ripoff. It's not accurate and doesn't count steps but arm swings. I'm guessing I'm already at 5000+ steps with all I did this morning.

I enjoyed my New Year's Day writing good news stories on this site and making enough points to have money sent to Pay Pal today. Looking forward to getting a request to have Branded Surveys money to be sent to Pay Pal next Sunday.

My New Year has started very quietly, but I will be back to work in a few days. I think I would be interested in some kind of a foot cycle. Cycling is good for my knees and hips.
