a few weeks ago I ordered a couple of new bands for my Fitbit… they arrived and were excellent…
one is very fancy, but needed to be adjusted… a few days ago I cut off a portion of it, but it was still too large…
yesterday I tried again and now it fits perfectly and looks great;-)…
very snazzy…

been laughing off and on for days…
all of a sudden, a few days ago, it sounded like the computer was making a noise each time I received a text message or phone call on my iPhone…
it was kind of creeping me out…
a few nights ago, while I was on the phone with my daughter I heard it again and then I heard something fall…
that’s when I started laughing because I realized that it was the old Fitbit which I had put on the shelf in the hall and hadn’t disconnected…
it was vibrating and responding to each text and call and eventually vibrated right off the shelf…
found it on the stairs, lol…

I’ve had a Fitbit for 5 years and I really like it…
in that time I’ve probably had about three versions of them…
I’ve also had a few replaced due to various problems…
last week I sent them a photo of my Fitbit screen as it had been filled with gray lines for about a week…
they responded the same day and offered up a few suggestions as to what I might try… after I tried their ideas and nothing changed, they advised that my Fitbit was still under warranty so they sent me a replacement, which arrived yesterday…
last night I set it up and it is working perfectly…
they sure provide excellent customer service…

big girl pants, Charge 3, defective, Fitbit, good service, replaced, service, widow
yesterday my Fitbit went dark again, sigh…
I went ahead and hooked it up to the charger and held it for the requisite 14 seconds and it came back on… although it seemed to take forever to get completely charged…
then I emailed the person who had given me the directions on what to do, just to let them know that it had happened again…
tonight I received an email advising that they will replace the defective Charge 3…
have ordered it and it should arrive within a week… unfortunately it comes with a black band rather than the lovely purple one that mine came with…
once it arrives, I will just change to my band…
pleased with their service…

yesterday, mid morning, all of sudden the display on my Charge 3 stopped working… my battery was fully charged and it continued to record and buzzed at appropriate times… just couldn’t see anything… Fitbit foibles…
so I called the Fitbit support line and they told me to hook up to the charger and push the button for 8 seconds… sadly I didn’t have the charger at the office, but connected it when I got home… that didn’t fix it…
it was late when I emailed the person who had sent me the directions, but I got an email back this morning… another set of directions… this time held the button for 15 seconds…
it worked… hurray… don’t realize how much you depend on it until it isn’t working…
hope this isn’t a sign that it is going to have problems… the kids gave it to me for Christmas and I love it;-)…

had a lovely day…
up at 5 to FaceTime and exchange gifts with the Ottawa kids…
my son-in-law was working so he left the house around 6… this year it wasn’t nearly as cold as last, lol… which was good… last year when he headed off it was -40 with the windchill… this morning, when I checked a while after he’d gone it was only -18… practically a heat wave…
everyone was up by about 7:30, so I didn’t even have to bang pots…
thoughtful gifts were shared and everyone was pleased with their haul…
one of my gifts was a lovely top with herons on it and another was a Fitbit Charge 3 which I have been eyeing for quite some time;-)…
we had a sausage, potato, spinach and cheese casserole and then headed off to the movies…
went to see The Grinch at Grant Park… the theatre has what appear to be recliners for everyone to sit in and you pick your seat ahead of time (like on planes)… we sat in the wrong ones but eventually got to the right spot…
then it was on to my house where naps were had by many as the dinner cooked…
supper was ready as the daddy arrived just after 7… delicious turkey dinner followed by his presents, a few minutes of device time and away they went…
a bit of time tidying up and now I am relaxing in front of the tv… wondering how long I will stay awake, lol…

today I took three pictures…
the first was of the grocery bill so that I could enter it into the Wally Next App I am currently trying to get used to as the one I was using isn’t available any more, sigh…
the second was of my lunch… not exactly the best meal I’ve organized…
the final one was made up of screenshots from an email that Fitbit sent describing my activities over the last year…
not very many photos… need to start taking more because taking pictures does make me happy…

today I got an email from MyFitnessPal congratulating me on six years of using the app… I started using this one not too long after I started using my first Fitbit…
it is the place where I keep track of my calorie intake… it took a while to figure out how to get the most value from it…
today I also picked up flowers… they make me feel happy and in these darker and busy days put a smile on my face…
and when I got home and walked into the house it smelled wonderful as both of the hyacinth flowers were blooming…
what a treat…

continued with the preparations for my trip…
ran out this morning to pick up a bit more chocolate to take with me…
on my way out I, of course, had to take photos of the morning glories that were blooming…
everything was rather thirsty but I didn’t have time then to water…
picked up treats at a few stores, including lunch for when I got home…
it was delicious…
my grandsons stopped by because I was hoping to move some furniture and needed a bit of help… sadly, after we moved a few things, we discovered that the biggest piece wasn’t going to make it through the hallway… oh well, so much for that…
since then I’ve spent time napping, watching some sports on tv… and fixing my Fitbit app so that my steps transfer to MyFitnessPal… hurray…

frustrated with my Fitbit and MyFitnessPal…
since yesterday the step count has not transferred between MyFitnessPal and Fitbit so I have way less available calories to eat…
I can eat more, but then I don’t meet my goal for the day…
must have spent hours over the last few days trying to sort it out… looks like this might be a problem with one of the apps…
argh…
not sure what to try next…
