Love my fitbit. We have the fitbit one. My Hubby isn’t so much of a fan as he isn’t happy that it is supposed to count the stairs but it doesn’t do it correctly.

I love the ease of the syncing and the alarm.

You are in Fort Collins now – I haven’t swung by for ages. You should get the best sunrises and sunsets there, and the best thunderstorms in summer. I miss those! At least you should see a few nice sunrises on your morning walks. That whole new lot of buildings were only just going in when we left.
I have several small projects but no big ones on the needles at the moment.

I honestly try to have only 1 project at a time. I need to have that “closure” before I can move on to the next! One of my goals for this new year is to work with the yarns I already have. By the way, that is a lot of yarn! I will buy yarn but need to make sure I am going to use it for something specific. . I may just try your walking idea in February, Sheri!

I am trying to knit from queue (and also, not add to my queu-that has been tough!)
I went through on January 1st and trimmed it down to 5 pages. My resolution is that 2 of every 3 things I knit must be from there. Also, I’m trying to keep my projects down to three at a time. (This does not count a few that have been laying around for ever! That will be next year’s resolution!)

I haven’t had time for resolutions this year because I am fulfilling a big one from 2012…to open my own yarn shop in Central PA. Renovations will be completed within a month and opening will be in March or April.

We bought a building. Hubby is opening a used book shop in part of it and I will have the yarn shop in the other section. A dream come true….

I try to make one or two small, easy to keep resolutions each month rather than trying to make a big change once a year. This month it is to clean below my gumlines with a gum massager every night, and I’ve only skipped once. Putting a star on the calendar every night really motivates me.
I am also going to try to finish one knitting project a month – I’m behind on my Tilia for this month, so we’ll see how that goes….

I’ve had a FitBit for a couple of years and I love it. I’ve found I can knit simple things and walk at the same time, so the treadmill is much more appealing when “exercise” becomes “ooh, knitting time!”

I love my fitbit!!!! Really keeps me motivated to stay on track.

Resolutions – I make them and then I break them, so this year I did something a little different. I took a mason jar and I’m writing myself little notes of the good things that happen and folding them up small and putting them in the jar. At the end of the year, I’ll be able to look back and see what a wonderful year I did have rather than beat myself up for breaking the resolutions.

I hear you on the treadmill. I switched to spinning, but what works best for me is to plop a TV in front of the bike, turn one my favorite show or a movie and I end up working out longer. if I start a Downton Abbey episode, I’ll bike 20miles so I can see the end!
