Reality Check by Dave Whamond for July 02, 2022

It does if you aren’t addicted to your phone

Only in the woods.

Just count to 10,000 on your fingers.

Isn’t there a law against doing something like that?

Is it just me? I see a smiling face on that shoe. Two eyes, a mustache & teeth. Maybe she stepped on a cartoon face in another sketch.

A friend just posted thursday that his 1.5 year old fitbit fell apart. It was not cheap either. a gift. Expensive junk to tell you how much you walked.

My iPhone came with a “Health” app that counts my daily steps (but not my swimming laps!). I don’t mind it, except for the daily snotty negative messages telling me I’m walking less than yesterday or last week or last month or last year, etc. No way to turn it off (grrr!!), so I stopped looking at it.

Sure it counts! Go ahead, take your steps… you can record it later. That’s what the ceiling fan is for.

It doesn’t “count” but it’s still beneficial.

Your body responds to what you do, not what you record.

If I say “yes” will it fall on deaf ears?

Does a bear [insert emoji] in the woods …?

You got that right squirrel…

Not according to my husband, who has become a slave to what I call “Nanny Fitbit.”

IMO it counts even more. Now she’s doing it for herself and not for some arbitrary metric to stress out about. (There are already plenty of other things in the world to stress out about. :( )

Grandmother, what big feet you have!

Regardless, no one else cares!

Only if YOU count, like the Sesame Street Count.

Funny…. I don’t have a fitbit, and I manage to walk just fine (other than an occasional limp, from a service-related injury), thank you very much.
