1. Sadness hit.

Obviously, I’ve worn the FitBit every day for a year and loved it. I knew how many steps I was taking, how well I was sleeping, and how active I was. Then all of a sudden, I was in the dark about my daily movement.

2. Acceptance, but doubt.

I accepted the fact that my FitBit broke, but I was still sad about not knowing how many steps I was getting. I track my steps like clockwork, and they motivate me to walk more. Now, I have no idea how many steps I have taken. Or how much I have slept.

3. I bought another one, and FitBit gave me a coupon.

I contacted FitBit and told them that I was sad that my favorite, and only, FitBit had broken. And, I wanted to know if they could fix it. Being as awesome as they are, they offered to fix it or give me a coupon. I had already decided a few weeks ago to get myself a new FitBit after the new year, but I chose to spring for the new one since I had a coupon.

4. I’m waiting patiently for it to arrive.

It will take a week. 7 days without tracking my steps, sleep or heart rate. But once it is here, I will run to the mailbox and set it up with my phone and be back to happy stepping.
