Photo-a-Day: Exercise

Photo-a-Day_exerciseAh, this one hits close to home for me these days.  #babyweight.  Before my last pregnancy (which btw was nothing short of a miracle, as I was told I wouldn’t physically be able to have any more children several years earlier) I was in a really good routine with regular exercise and I enjoyed it (Bonus, I was in great shape too!).  The last pregnancy pretty much rocked my world and my exercise routine hasn’t yet recovered.  I feel guilty about it every day.  For my birthday (later this month,) I asked my husband for a Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi scale, which he sweetly let me have a couple of weeks early…yay!  In general, I’m really into data tracking and I know once I do head back to the gym, it will be nice to have a record of it.  I’m not setting a deadline for myself or anything…you might say, I’m just starting to get some little extra pieces of motivation in place.


This post is one in a series for the National Diabetes Month of November.  Kerri from sixuntilme.com initiated the Photo-a-Day idea and prompts and lots of other diabetes bloggers have chosen to follow suite.

  1. My wife also uses the Omnipod (she’s recent T1) and a CGM (Dexcom) and we’re thinking about getting the Fitbit Aria too. Do you track body fat with these devices on, or are you using the Aria only for regular weighting? Appreciate hearing about your experiences…

    • Hi! Yes, the Aria tracks body fat automatically and the diabetes devices don’t seem to cause any issues with this functionality…and more importantly, the scale doesn’t cause any issues with the devices :)
