I first want to say that I love the FitBit ultra that I have. Its small, unobtrusive and it is helping to motivate me to be more active which is its goal. I love that it wasn't very expensive, that it updates wirelessly, fits easily in a pocket or on my belt and best of all I don't have to subscribe in order to view the data.
Here is a snapshot of my results for the last week:
Activity
30150 steps taken
55 floors climbed
15.01 miles traveled
Total Burned | Total Eaten | Deficit |
---|---|---|
27648 cals | 20212 cals | -7436 cals |
Now let's compare this to the previous week's numbers before I decided to get moving at all:
Activity
23855 steps taken
17 floors climbed
11.87 miles traveled
Total Burned | Total Eaten | Deficit |
---|---|---|
25998 cals | 27476 cals | +1478 cals |
As you can see from the above, there was a deficit in calories this week, where there was a surplus in calories the previous week. Thi will be my baseline week to measure future activity against.
To achieve this, I have managed to cycle 3 days this last week for a total of just shy of 27 miles. Not a lot of miles, but it is a new start and it is chipping away at my revised goal of 1000 miles this year. My total is up to 566, only 434 to go.
