It was a somewhat challenging week for me. I found myself in the middle of meltdown last Wednesday. Yes. After a good weigh in. It was the starting day of my step challenge with my cousin Val. Not only did I want to get a week ahead of her in weeks won. But I wanted to beat my personal best. That was my goal.
It's a good thing I know my device so well. That's what tipped me off. I know I do about 900 to 1000 Steps per lap at Loafer's Lake. When I got there I was around 2000 Steps. After 2 Hours and 40 Minutes I was just over 11,000. Trust me when I say, you would have thought there was a death in the family. lol. But to me. There was. I quickly came to realize that this armband has become my lifeline. I called BodyMedia immediately and they did some trouble shooting and I was on my way again. As sore as my body was. I went out walking again. Put in another 45 minutes and killed my personal best!!!!
Did I mention I still won week 4? Still got my bragging rights. lol. Anyway, things still seemed a little off and then Sunday came around. Teresa, Mags and I went to do laps again. Teresa now has her armband as well. When we got there. We both checked our armbands. I was about 2000 and Teresa was about 2500. The long and the short of it. Teresa sat out a lap and when we finished. She was at 13400 steps and I was just over 10,000. Yep! Glitch in my device again.
First thing Monday morning I was on the phone with BodyMedia. I didn't even have to ask. 2 glitches in a week. My new device will arrive tomorrow. I have been very happy with my armband and all it does. And I have been happy with BodyMedia and the customer service they have provided until now. But I will RAVE again!!!!! I LOVE BODYMEDIA AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
If you are looking to get started on a personal journey. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BODYMEDIA. For those that have been asking for the link, here it is again.

Just for the record. Even though my device was a little off. I had a splurge this week and my steps were off. I still managed to lose another 2 pounds. I am very happy with that. 42 pounds total so far and that much closer to ONEderland.
Until next time. Be kind.
Cheers!
