The Little Dude in my Watch
There is a little dude in my watch who is supposed to help me but there are times I will actually get annoyed and yell at him a little bit and yes, I might have mad cow disease, you just can’t be sure of me these days.
Again, going back to my weight loss journey, I decided to get the new FitBit Charge 2 and I absolutely love it and think its the best one yet. I use it to tell the time, see how many steps I’ve taken towards my daily goal, see what my heart rate is after a good walk, see how many calories I’ve burned, and I use the stop watch feature in my clinic when I time my OT kids doing an activity that requires being timed.
Well, one thing I didn’t bargain for is FitBit Frank, the little dude that bugs the shit out of me sometimes wanting me to move. He will say things like, “It’s get a move on o’clock,” as he vibrates my FitBit on my arm, which is startling when you are sitting still reading a good book or ‘dropping the kids off at the pool.’
He will also say things like, “Take me for a walk,” God bless him he thinks he’s a damn K9 American. One time he went so far as to say, “Get your fat ass up lady because it ain’t getting any smaller!” Well, I never . . .
Just kidding he didn’t say that but his little vibrational ‘digs’ do get me off my butt, I will admit.
However, the other day my husband and I were showing each other how much we love each other when FitBit Frank got jealous I guess because he kept vibrating on my arm. Eventually my husband asked, “What in the hell is up with your vibrating wrist?” Panting, which to me should have been an indication to Fibit Frank that calories were indeed being burned, I said, “It’s FitBit Frank and I think he might feel left out or jealous or something. Just ignore him.” My husband about fell out laughing at me and said, “You are the weirdest most wonderful woman I have ever met.” Awwwww!
FitBit Frank is there to help me, I know, but I think the little dude requires as much attention as a K9 American sometimes and it can get annoying, but I will say this, he gets my ass out of my chair even if it is to walk circles in my clinic.
The other day FitBit Frank vibrated my wrist again and it was such a lovely day but I didn’t feel like walking any further than circles on my driveway. My youngest bonus son happened to pull up on his bike as I was circling the entire driveway trying to get a few more steps in to appease damn Frank.
As he pulled up he started smiling and shaking his head and asked, “Are you seriously walking in circles on the driveway?”
I replied, “Yes, damn it all, Frank made me do it.”
He looked at me like my hair had caught on fire and said, “You are one weird woman,” and walked away with a smile and a chuckle.
If we don’t have fun with life, even when it sux, what the hell are we going to do but waller in our own misery. Humor is my medicine and I will continue to be weird and write about it. And Frank, I love you little dude!
Love y’all!!♥
