Well in that case I’m that much more motivated to start working out.

So what does a fitbit do exactly? I mean besides counting your steps.

Download the Fitbit app now and set up an account so you can get to know what it's capable of doing.

True on both accounts Cindy.

Cindy is always right.
She's amazing.

Do you think it would be cheating if I let your two friends guess now?

Maybe I should show you what a few types of push-ups we had to do in the Navy SAR swimmer school....
1) standard
2) tricept
3) wide arm
4) inverted
5) beach front
6) S.E.A.L style
7*) this is the worst, the instructor decides that we do them on "their count, when they get tired!" Uuugh! You see push ups become 2-4 count positions and if someone messes up then we become the 8 count body builders.... Anyone know these form of hell????

i don’t but dh does.....he was green beret, airborne rigger, and did final magtaf pt with busted shoulder so he wouldn’t have to “holdover”

It won’t use my phone as a step counter right? I read in the fitbit group thread that yours linked to do that.

But okay I’ll go download it.

There's a way in the app to turn on and off that setting... I forget what it's called but don't worry about that.

Well in that case I’m that much more motivated to start working out.

So what does a fitbit do exactly? I mean besides counting your steps.

It takes your heart rate, weight, BMI (if you know your BMI to input it--no real accurate way to obtain it on your own--ideally you'd get that from your doctor, but gyms sometimes have the grab-handle things to give you a guess), your sex, age, step count, and gives you a pretty good estimate of your calorie burn through the day.

You can use the calorie calculator on the Fitbit app to watch things like total calories eaten, protein, carbs, fat, salt, iron, +++. You can also download the My Fitness Pal app and connect that to your Fitbit app (follow the instructions--very easy, even for me). I much prefer the My Fitness Pal app, but it's been a long time since I used the Fitbit one.

If you wear it to bed, it can analyze your sleep surprisingly well.

It will vibrate on the hours you set it up for, to remind you to get up and move if you have logged fewer than 250 steps in that hour.

It can recognize certain exercises and automatically give you an analysis of your calorie burn for (say) a bike ride or a jog, etc.

It can give you a (partial) readout of text messages on-screen and vibrate to signal phone calls on your cell.

There are other things as well, but you likely won't use all of them. I have a Charge 2. I looked at the 3, but there didn't seem to be enough difference to convince me to buy a new one. I have to charge this one more often, but it's not a big deal yet.

I just looked... It's called mobile track.

Just get the app so you can learn how it works.

More random questions from me. So I have 4 white leghorn roosters. They’re 10 weeks old this week. Next week on Wednesday they will be 11 and so on.

I know leghorns are not good for meat but since we hatched them we figured why not. (We were expecting them to be half olive egger but I guess my white leghorn fertilized the leghorns).

Should I go ahead and process them now since they aren’t going to get much bigger or should I wait the full 3-4 months?

Right now one weighs 2.8 lbs. so my guess is I’ll get maybe 1 lb of meat So do I bother keeping them alive? Will they pack on tons of weight in 2 weeks (doubtful )

If you want fryers, process them before they start crowing. If you're okay with cooking low & slow or pressure cooking, keep them around as long as you like unless they cause trouble.
