It truly is amazing how something so small can have an effect on your life and essentially take it over.

Now, some of you might be thinking "Oh, you got a new pet!" or "Oh no, what game did you buy NOW??"

Honestly...what's taken over my life is a small little lime-green FitBit.

I got it for free from work...and I have noticed some positives and some negatives about it.

Pros:
-does get me more active and more aware of how inactive I can be at times
-is a motivator for losing weight
-has lead to drinking more water

Cons:
-makes me feel more competitive (competing against others to see how many steps you're beating them by)
-depresses me on the days I don't walk as much
-keep forgetting to either take it with me or take it off

So, yeah...this little thing that can nestle in the palm of my hand has become a new tool for helping try to improve my life...and a little bit of a cross/burden too. -.-
