Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on February 5, 2015

And the winner is...

My sister recently bought me a FitBit and I LOVE IT! Mainly because I get to compete with her! We make it a lot of fun too. Since we have always been very competitive all our lives...this is a fun way to get us moving throughout the day.

I was definitely shocked at how little I move throughout the day since I work at a desk ALL DAY long. But since we have incorporated this tool into our everyday life - it really helps me stay on track and reach my daily goals.

We first challenged each other and played the "weekend warrior." She won that one. Then we did a "workweek hustle" and I beat her. And now the past two days we did a "daily showdown" and she won both! URGH! We created a reward system out of this so that we would really push for a win. Below is how we play and win.

1. Daily Showdown Winner: Loser pays $5 to the winner.

2. Weekend Warrior Winner: Loser pays $10 to the winner.

3. Workweek Hustle Winner: Loser pays $25 to the winner.

If you are counting: My sister = $20 and I = $25 in winnings!

We made cute mason jars for our winnings...and we plan on taking these funds out when they hit $200 to go shopping! Maybe we can finally by one of those super cute Tory Burch FitBit bracelets that we both have been eyeing!

How do you make fitness fun??

Some co-workers and I did the workweek hustle this week. Let me tell you.. for a fairly non-competitive person such as myself.. I kicked myself into gear and got moving! It has been really fun! I do love my fitbit!

Good for you!! I love your pretty fitbit. I love my fitbit zip, but it isn't a fashion accessory. ;)

Haha Louise you're right...it's a pain in the behind quite literally! Sue I agree completely! We're so tiny as children because we PLAY all day long! Marsha...playing music definitely helps me too!

I try and make it fun but betting with myself. I listen to a lot of update music when working out, it feels more like fun that way,

I'm looking for that answer too. I know recently, it's been torturous at the gym, when I'm trying to look like I know what I'm doing around all those machines. But when I do the water classes, I laugh and it becomes play. Why do adults never 'play'? No wonder we're all so grouchy!!!!I enjoyed your post. :-)
