this afternoon I ordered a set of straps for my fitbit… 

this was rather fun because I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time…

I had purchased a violet strap which has developed a tear so I’ve been wearing my black strap, but really missing the pretty one…

  
when my Ottawa kids were here last June, my son-in-law picked up a power bar with USB ports in it… he attached it to the wall by the couch in the living room and tied up all the cord… very tidy…

  
I use it all the time to charge my fitbit, and even my phone when I need it to be on the main floor…

my fitbit has been a great help for me… since I got it I’ve tried to make sure I met my step goal every day… since my diabetes diagnosis it has helped keep track of other exercise and I have combined it with MyFitnessPal which records my food intake…

technology is pretty cool…
