Damn, Fitbit. Why you gotta play me like that? Between Friday and Saturday, I logged 33,806 steps, walked 14.91 miles, was active for 258 minutes, and I have a blister on my toe in the shape of Owen Wilson’s nose, yet my Fitbit is still harping on me today to get my steps in? What’s that you say? You mean, I have to move everyday? I should log 10,000 steps everyday? You mean…I’m not done?
*blank stare*
So, in order to do this thing called, “fitness”, and to be successful at said fitness, I have to do it everyday?
Never mind. I’ll just be returning this here Fitbit, if you don’t mind.
*Rustles in cabinet looking for Crack Cup*
Only half kidding. In all seriousness guys, 10,000 steps a day for someone whose favorite pastime is savoring rainbow sprinkles with a dollop of Cool Whip while watching past episodes of Biggest Loser on Hulu is asking a lot.
My grand weekend of getting in some killer steps was thanks to a quick trip over the hill to San Francisco. Not like, a marathon or anything (obviously, that was your first guess).
If you have ever been to San Francisco, you know transportation in the city is either: a horror-themed roller coaster-like driving experience, with hobos popping out when you least expect it and you’re honked at for not mowing down pedestrians or it’s a serious walking nightmare experience. I chose walking, and damn those bunions hurt (just kidding, I don’t have bunions. I don’t even know what they are, but I bet they’d be hurting if I had them).
So, I guess my grand walking adventure in San Francisco where my thighs almost ignited due to rubbage did not, in fact, make me instantly fit and svelte.
Oh, the pain and suffering!
My rant about my demanding, asshole Fitbit turned into some pictures from the trip. You’re welcome.

Rants, Ramblings, and Regrets
Nice post 🙂
Thank you much ☺️
No problem 🙂 check out my blog when you get the chance 🙂
Absolutely!!
10,000 is a lot!! I just got my fit bit too, and I’m like you want me to walk how much?? Everyday??
I know! It’s crazy 😜 Apparently the American Heart Association suggests 10,000 a day. Psh. What do they know? 😉
RIGHT?!?! Hahaha
😂😭😩😩😩😩
Great pictures!! I too am thinking “I’ve done yoga 4 days in a row and pilates 3 days out of 5, and I’m not skinny yet?” No one ever tells you these things..I feel like this should have been covered in high school instead of algebra.
BUAHAHAHAHA!! 1000% accurate. I’ve thought WAY more about why I’m not skinny than algebra!
Stinking Rose ?! Fitbits should be banned 🙁
Yup!! They are famous for their super garlicky dishes! Their famous line is, “We flavor our garlic with food.” If you love garlic, it’s so worth the crazy prices! Fitbits SHOULD be banned 😜
Hmmm – I probably prefer my food flavoured with garlic instead of the other way around. I’ve tried it. Gave me heartburn 🙁
Oh no!! I LOVE garlic!
Oh gosh… with every post I love you even more! You captured my feelings for that hateful Fitbit so precisely 😀 Who in the world came up with the 10K anyway?!
P.S. I want to swim in that clam chowder 😀 And Lombard street looks like the place where Couch Potatoes go to die!
Aww thank you, friend!! “Lombard street looks like the place where Couch Potatoes go to die”!!!!!! Yes! This! Thanks for the fat belly laugh! 😂😭😭
Anytime! 🙂 We fatties gotta have each others’ backs (bellies?) 😀 😉
😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂👌 Yes, we have to gave each others’ bellies!! Love it!
😀 😉
ooooooooooh not fair! all those food porn pics. I do feel your pain about working out everyday. The wedding is just over 8 weeks away and I am panicking. We can do this! After this yummy cake …
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, but after this yummy cake! Yes!! Always 😉
We all have to suffer for our art…. Great pictures but stay away from the cup o’ crack…..!
I totally put it back in the cabinet 😉
That’s the way McCup 😉
Hehehehe 😜👍
We just had a Fitbit rant in the office, my colleague took a spin class yesterday which logged in her inactive minutes and Because spin is stationary Fitbit still wanted her to do her 10,000 steps…after taking a spin class I struggle to put one foot infront of the other!!!
Great post and fab photos I really want to visit San Fran, with the exception of the roller coaster-esque thrill rides. Haha!
That’s the only thing I don’t like about Fitbit. It doesn’t recognize yoga as active minutes either. Hot yoga about kills me, so that should cover my gosh darn steps! Agreed! Thanks and if you go, make sure you have an automatic!!
You know what’s crazy sauce? On the days I run, I do a 5k. A FREAKING 5K. And that gets me about 7500 steps. I DID A 5K and you want MORE? F that noise, toots. F it.
Wait a sec….
F it….
F it Bit
I think I just cracked a top-secret code here.
LOL! You cracked it! Where’s your prize! I know, I feel like 10,000 is asking FAR too much. Too much.
Why can’t it applaud maniacally for “better than average”??? Yay, today you only had one donut AND you parked on the far edge of the lot, bravo!!! WAY MORE MOTIVATING
No.freaking.kidding. No, instead, every hour it reminds me I’m a lazy ass.
This is likely why they go to the electronics graveyard of the dresser drawer after a couple of months….BECAUSE THEY’RE MEAN.
So mean. My Fitbit is a real demanding bitch. I’m about to break free from her constricting chains. The bitch.
You are lookin good!
Thank you, friend!!!! ☺️😘
Hilarious and I feel you sister!
Hehe thank you! 😘☺️
Hey, I’m back again! I thought you might like to have some fun with fitbit quotes for this 3 day challenge – https://soulgifts.com.au/2016/04/14/shoes/ – You could create some of your own !
No pressure to accept of course 🙂
Oooh I’ll check it out!! Thank you ☺️
Look forward to seeing what you come up with !!
☺️
Ooo, pretty pictures! I can’t use a FitBit, I get unhealthily obsessed with the stats/goals. Seriously. It’s weird. Your food porn pics are re-diculous. I want that ice cream sandwich so badly. Dear lord.
I thought I would get obsessed, but so far all I seem to care about is my sleep stats. Mmm sleeping. That ice cream sammy was the stuff dreams are made of. I might have to go back just for that 😍
That funfetti goodness has triggered all of my sweet cravings!! Oh man, that looks good.
I can imagine that fitbits are quite awesome to have but can definitely become a little discouraging if you dont hit the 10,000 steps!
It was so good!!! Yeah, I’m already used to the letdown 😩, but next week it’s on!! I’m going to try to get my 10,000 in everyday!
Good luck, you can do it!
Thank you!!
You look great, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I deliberately let the battery of mine die out. I hate such taskmasters. Your photos look great.
Hahaha great idea 😜😉 Thank you!
