When I opened the box I had received from Best Buy as part of this month’s challenge as a Best Buy Ambassador, I cringed a little. I was face to face with the FitBit Aria, a digital scale.
This month was gonna be THE time I would start my road to being healthy. I had some extra help too, since I was also sent a Cuisinart Compact Juice Extractor:
You see, this month these two gadgets are part of a challenge for us Best Buy Ambassadors. Together, we have been asked to take a million steps in the month of January. There’s about 8 of us, so that is about 120,000+ each. Oy. I thought it would be hard, but it’s actually not so bad. In about 4 days, I took almost 30,000 steps. Of course I had Las Vegas to help me!
What I have found is these products have kicked my butt into gear and are helping me realize getting healthy is not so hard. Eat better, be more active and be accountable for it all. That’s what the FitBit Aria is doing. It is synched with my FitBit Ultra so that every step I take is there and it measures my weight and BMI and automatically uploads it to my FitBit dashboard so I can track my progress.
So where does the the Cuisinart come into play? I noticed that while I don’t eat badly…I don’t exactly eat well. I wasn’t getting nearly the amount of veggies I should be getting and I snack horribly. Now, I have a been playing with juice mixtures and having a juice every morning, and snacking on fruits throughout the day. I think I can get used to this.

Sounds great I am just starting over and have been working on getting healthy in fact I have been getting others in on my crussade so good luck with yours a fruit smoothie in thee morning is a good way to start the day and it is delicious. XXX
Good luck to you too! I try to start my day with a Green Juice. With Juicing you have to be careful with too much fruit as the body will absorb the sugars first and that’s not the best thing. I am feeling healthier and know I am getting more nutrients in my body daily!
I also started my road to being healthy by running on the treadmill. I’m doing about 40 minutes daily and hope to do it at least 5 times a week
Go Vanessa! I need a treadmill! LOL
good luck! looks like you’ve got a head start on the new years resolutions!
Thanks, I have been wanting a juicer and the 20 percent off might just convince me to buy one now
Wow I love the juicer as well as have been looking for another way to improve my fitness or more so help aid in keeping me going as I keep quitting when I don’t see any results. Thank you so much!
I have no desire to step onto a scale just yet but that juicer looks awesome!
Good luck to all of us trying for a healthier 2013!!
i liked the idea too
