Every Journey Needs a First Step

Life begins with one simple breath.  After that, it then begins with one step.  Each step counts, so make them count.  A few months ago, I wrote a blog about the “Day in the Life of Kerstin” because a lot of you were curious + asking me about what goes on in the day of a Host / Mom / Wife / Friend.  So for fun, the series continues…but from the view of where I step with my Fitbit, day to day and where it steps with me >>>  Fitbit Blaze 

 

First, let’s go over what I LOVE about the Fitbit Blaze:

+ Feels and looks like a real high-end watch with a customizable face

+ Auto Sleep Tracking + Silent Alarms

+ Interchangeable secure band

+ All-Day Activity tracking: track steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed

+ Alerts to incoming calls and texts and calendar items

+ Unfortunately, it's not water proof but it is Water-Resistance (no swimming or showering with it). Its sweat, rain and splash proof

+ It's the highest end watch of the best-selling brand of trackers

+ I can set challenges with my friends + Family out on the West Coast

+ On Screen Workouts built in and it provides workout summaries that you can view on your watch or the app

+ Control music  

+ Long battery life (I usually charge it every 5 days and you get alerts!)

+ Smart Tracking!  Automatically recognizes when you’re being active and records it!

 

Here's a look at the Fitbit Dashboard App on my iPhone.

I like to be moving and doing.  I don't just sit and relax well, unless it's on a beach or on a boat.  And I did just that, this past weekend.  Dan, the girls, Gourdie (our old bullie) and I all were able to get away to a friend’s house that literally sits next to the water, for the past few days.   I relaxed, I walked, I played and I exercised.  We all did.  Vacation is time to rest your mind, your body and soul and you’ll be surprised to see how much you actually move even when you slow down for a bit.  Here’s a look at the past 6 days f my activity and where my Fitbit Blaze and I have been!

"Behind the scenes.  Running from set to set, thank goodness I have a helper to track my activity."

 

I worked a shift Sunday morning and then were off!  We head North, along the East Coast and ended up here.  #neverleaving

"Day half over, half of my step goal complete.  Let's get moving!"

"I hit my step goal in no time chasing around my 2 little girls!"

"Be sure to pause though.  Practice self-love, appreciate your body, and know that you're beautiful no matter what size or shape you are!"

"And eventually, you have to take it off to charge it!"
