Why are you thinking about getting one?

I'm doing the food logging thing fairly successfully via Dr. Oz's crew.

What I really need is the motivation to finish those 10,000 steps (or whatever goal). I'm eating decently, but I have not been able to get excited about moving my bum.

Since spring is coming, I'm hoping to leverage more energy into more activity.

I used to use a nike+ when I was training for the marathon and got seriously caught up in speed. That ended up being an injurious error, so now, I'm looking for volume and hope a pedometer will give me something to reach for.

I'm curious about the sleep aspect, but it isn't critical. Though, like you, it might help me to hit the sack earlier if I knew I wasn't getting enough.

I made pasta fagiole with spinach and quinoa pasta. Pretty good, but not great. I think it could maybe use some basil?

I've definitely found myself getting up and moving more now that I have the data in front of me. I'm getting an idea of what my baseline activity is, and now I'm trying to figure out how to increase it. The tracking website gives you information on yourself, and also how you rank against everyone using a device. It lets you compete against yourself and invisible people on the internet!

I start it when I go to bed and stop it when I get out of bed, and based on movement (I guess?) it tells you how long it takes you to fall asleep, how many times you wake up in the night, the amount of time you were in bed for vs. actual sleep time, and a sleep efficiency score.

What? Fitbits? What is this and how much does it cost? I don't care about the exercise bit, because I don't, but I'd love to be able to quantify my shitty lack of sleep and see if I could tie numbers to anything else I'm doing.

I don't think I'd ever be able to sleep knowing that I was being measured and scored.

Sounds like a more comfortable sleep study device.

I fought the dust and the dust won. The living room is basically rearranged, but I'm taking a break to breathe.

It's a small tracking device and base station for fitness and sleep with a 3D motion sensor. It's $99 plus (I think) $10 shipping. Tracking website is free with purchase.

You're not ranked against others on your sleep, if that helps?

HPV links to oral sex.

There's no fun left.

Thanks, shrift! Given that I have no activity, that might be a bit pricey for me, but it's an idea.

HPV links to oral sex.

My GP was telling me that HPV may be to blame for the relatively high incidence of rectal cancer in gay men.

Baking does not fuck around.

Even baking has room for winging it, as long as you understand the relationship between wet and dry ingredients.
