March 2014 Challenge and a little Fitbit review


I'm a huge fan of MyFitnessPal and the community message boards, it's a great support network and a motivational tool.

Pretty much any day you can find a group or challenge to join, the past few days I've joined two which are going to be my ultimate March challenges: Lose 5lbs in March and to walk 100 miles in March.

I think the easiest out the two will be the 100 miles, it seems a lot but when you divide it over the month it equals out to roughly 3.2 miles a day over the 31 days.

I walk on average about 5 miles a day thanks to my ultimate fitness gadget:
I've had a Fitbit for just over 2 years, started out with the Fitbit ultra which was the best thing I'd ever invested in! When it broke, I was devastated! Within a few weeks I had the new Fitbit Zip permanently attached to me!

I couldn't recommend Fitbit enough, it's changed my whole outlook on being active, the app and online dashboard are great tools and I check them multiple times a day.

I have some less active days so March I'm going to try to be active everyday to log my 100 miles!

Hopefully all the walking and continuing eating at a deficit will help lose the 5lbs.

I've been doing the 10,000 step challenge for just under a week and I've lost 2.4lbs; maybe water weight but anything down on the scale is good by me.

Time for a happy, healthy March!
