fitbit replacement

my fitbit fell off while i was changing and hit a cement floor yesterday and smashed open. little robot guts everywhere – i gasped! and then figured out how to put it back together. it still works but i don’t think it’s recording steps properly – the gyroscope must be out of whack. i’ve had this thing since august and even through burning man i haven’t gone a day without wearing it. i’m attached to it as much as it is attached to me. i use it to see how active i’ve been (only 2000 steps today?? better take a walk….) but i also track my food to make sure i’m getting a good balance of carbs/fat/protein and not eating too much. i don’t track my food every single day, but i know that when i don’t use the online dashboard to track my food, i DEFINITELY eat more. it’s a super helpful tool. or maybe i’m just obsessed.

anyway, i thought about getting a different pedometer/calorie burn counter (like the one they use on Biggest Loser- bodybugg®), but looking online i don’t really see one i like better (mostly i don’t want to wear an armband – the tiny fitbit clip is soooo much better – everyone thinks it’s a flashdrive ), so i’m definitely ordering another one. the good news is that you can now order fitbit through amazon, and there’s no longer a wait!
