Fitbit Edge

Image
 So I got the Edge. Unboxing And inside the box The white thing is the charger. And, as you can see, it comes with both a large and small wristband.  I need the small.i switched the bands before i even charged the device. I bought a second band as well. It feels so light and slender as compared to ny Sense 2 — the Sense 2 is a “smartwatch” (with very few features) and the Edge is just a tracker. I would not have been able to get a Pixel watch because I have an iPhone, and the Apple Watch didn’t appeal to me. Setup was extremely easy.  I already had the Google Health app and a Fitbit profile (I’ve been a Fitbit user for at least 10 years), so pairing my new device took just a few minutes.   The functions aren’t very different from my Sense 2, but Google has added metrics that weren’t available when I bought the Sense 2 (was it really 4 years ago?) I think I’m going to like this device.

 Front yard bunny is alive and well We’re going to a wedding Saturday.  Yes, on Halloween.  The couple wants everyone to come in costume.  Should be fun. Even better, we are expecting great weather for the weekend. We were so lucky on our cruise.  The following week all cruises from New York to Bermuda were diverted to Canada because of storms in the Atlantic.  Imagine planning a warm weather cruise and winding up in Canada! I finally lost the 5 pounds I gained on the cruise.  Diet and exercise — and fear of regaining too much weight. My Fitbit Edge was delivered today.  I can’t wait yo unbox it and see what it does.   Thinking about changing gyms.  The new one would cost more but offers more…

Saturday 9

  Smoke Rings Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: Smoke Rings (1933)      Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it  here .      1) In this song, Donald Mills of the Mills Brothers encourages us to "puff, puff, puff" our cares away. When did you most recently smoke a cigarette?  Never.  My mother was a smoker and I hated it.   2) In the 1930s, when this week's song was recorded, an estimated 40% of American adults smoked cigarettes. By the early 1960s, that number reached a high of 42%. According to the CDC, th...
