The Devil Wears a Fitbit
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: salome000

 Let me start with the basics....

I'm sorry.

I'm REALLY late getting this Tea Party tickle out. But I have a great excuse. Really. One that ALL of you can understand and sympathize with.

Or, at least, that's what I'll tell myself.

You see, I'm one of the billions of people who take up weight loss trends the second they hit the market. Hey...you never know, right? I've drunk vinegar, grapefruit juice, taken supplements that made either jitterbug all over creation or sent me straight to the...ah....'powder room'. But I haven't left one stone unturned in my search for weight loss that allows me to eat anything I want while continuing to live my slothful existence.

I KNOW it's out there, somewhere.

When the Fitbit hit the market, I liked it instantly. It was sort of like jewelry, but trendy and it seemed like EVERYONE was sporting the things.

So, on to Ebay, where I purchased a 'beginner' Fitbit (the ones that only have little lights that light up...the more little lights, the better I'm doing. Can't get easier than that) and I had it charged and on my wrist the second it arrived.

NOTE: Somehow, when I wasn't paying attention, I actually LOST the argument for a nifty Tory Burch Fitbit bracelet, that fits perfectly over your Fitbit and dresses it up. Personally, I don't consider 200 bucks a great deal of money when it comes to weight loss, but my argument was effectively squashed by the husband, who said "Lose down to your goal weight and I'll buy it for you." I HATE WHEN HE DOES THAT!!!

Next, I installed the app on my phone and I was ready to lose weight. I entered my personal information and went to the next screen, where THIS popped up:

"Hi there! Let's go ahead and set your goals! Let's start with your steps. We'll go ahead and enter the recommended daily steps for optimum fitness."

Then, the number 10,000 appeared.

I thought it was a digital error. Like it just threw on an extra zero or two, or something. I went to google to find the RIGHT number and was stunned to see that the number was, indeed, 10,000.

Ten thousand steps??? A DAY??? Who are YOU kidding, you little &*&*%^ piece of rubber filled with a 10 cent chip marked up to 89.99??? Don't think I won't track down the 8 year old Chinese kid who made this and educated him on the AMERICAN way of doing things.

Fabulous! Love the vibrant colors and that gorgeous background! Love the arrangement and embossing of the leaves.

Laughing hysterically over the 10,000 steps! I certainly can relate to that one!

This card really drew me in, and I especially love the gorgeous dimensional leaves and the beautiful green dimensional flourish--wonderful! Beautiful patterned paper choice for the pumpkin, love the glittered element in it. This is just wonderful, it had to go into my favorites, LOVE it!!!

Best wishes,

Joanne

I used 10,000 breaths laughing about your story....I can't find my inhaler so I had better type quickly before I pass out. Miss Carmen not only is it great to read your adventures, but also to see your brilliant creations. Love it, love it, love it.

I love the contrast between the vivid pumpkin and leaves and that gorgeous deep blue background. The curly tendrils look amazing, too.

What a wonderful TICKLE! Thank you, Carmen! Your sparkly polka dots pumpkin and card base are so festive. The details such as the corrugated, distressed stem, curly tendrils and gorgeous, distressed leaves make it all the more special. As well, the printed, navy paper background set it off beautifully. Your card has taken it's rightful place among the Halloween/fall cards I have received this year (and last.) THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Oh, and also for all the goodies you sent. What a grand Tickle! I laughed at your weight loss efforts story. I'm sure you speak for many! I used to walk 10,000 steps (5 miles), five days a week. Wish I still could but I now probably walk about a half mile a day, at most. Arrgghh.
