No Rest for the Wicked

So, my FitBit is pretty damn awesome. I synced it with my FitnessPal app that I've been using off and on for a few years. I'm suddenly a calorie burning machine! But no, it's pretty awesome. It holds me accountable for burning more than I take in, and keeping moving.

I love that it tracks my heart and my sleep for my doctors, and helps motivate me with badges and bullshit. I don't see a 10k step badge in my near future yet though.

I pulled some tickers and badges from the FitnessPal app to put on my blog so all of you can see my progress on my journey as well! That should help hold me more accountable too.

I didn't take an Ambien last night, and as usual lately I didn't sleep for shit. Now you can all see just how fabulously I sleep.

Secret Santa

As many of you know, I spent a few years volunteering undercover to help with pedophile stings. It was really rewarding work. I miss it. I met some amazing people and travelled to some cool places along the way. I kept in touch with many of the people I worked with, and some of them are some of the best friends I have. Sadly they all live ridiculously far away. Most years we do a Secret Santa of some sort. I always participate because I have a serious Christmas problem.

My gift arrived from Rita today, and it was huge! The paper was so adorable. Once I realized just how many presents were inside I decided I had to go sit down to open it, and took it into the other room, haha. She had a really nice pet bed inside the box which I took out first, took the tags off and taped the washing instructions to the cardboard tag and put it with my manuals. I'm OCD like that. I have a bad memory, but I have a system of where to put things, and where to find instructions for things! Haha. It works pretty good most of the time. Daisy immediately investigated it when I put it down. Tux was busy playing in the box as I unwrapped things.
