Hi,

I don’t currently have a watch .Two Christmas’s ago I received a FitBit...don’t remember which version....that I really liked but we could not get it to sync with my Android phone so I returned it. I have extremely small wrists so cannot get anything too chunky or it looks absurd. I don’t like plastic bands. I am going to revisit the watches again but am currently having my interior walls repainted. This is my gift to me. In the process of having my large bedroom and a bath redone and have to pick out another color for the rest of the house. We are also having a mother , daughter , daughter in law day in Orlando tomorrow and Saturday which always involves shopping so I am sure I won’t be hard pressed to find things I like. Winter Park is an especially beautiful area with fabulous restaurants. My son is making lunch and then off we go. A very materialistic approach but think of all the great walking we will do and we always walk the next morning after we take the dogs out.
More walking is in store for me...it has been up and down very cold days here in Florida (by Florida’s standards) and I have slackened off the routine except I do go to my gym classes. I actually walked more when I had the clip on pedometer but the clip broke and my resolve broke along with it.

I will let you know when the watch decision is made.

FL Mary

Hi, Mary. I just replied to Sue on the Smile Bringers thread about the Virmee VT3 Plus watch I bought yesterday after a discussion with another Connect 'friend'. Sue likes her FitBit 3, so if this one doesn't work for me, I'll go that route. I really don't want it to do everything you seem to want, but it has to be able to fill my needs. Don't need to chat with 'Alexis'.....can't wait to get it as I'm feeling better and hope to get out some now. Other than to docs and Mayo! I am getting several watchbands, tho. Can't wear the rubbery plastic black one. Too hot! Ugly for me and want cool, color.

Plan on hitting the warm pool again soon, but then have more tests so will have to skip a few days. A friend and I will begin walking tomorrow, a bit. I just got over an infection, sepsis, and had a couple of thingy's taken off my outer breast and back yesterday at Mayo, so have to go slowly, but GO.

I love Winter Park! One of the truly lovely spots in Central Fl. I'm so jealous of your plans and fun, but mostly for your company. Sound like a great couple days. Hope you enjoyed them and kept a bit of a lid on the shopping. It does relieve stress and confinement issues, doesn't it? I have family in Mt.Dora, Lake Jem and Port Orange. Love the entire section of the 'orange grove country'/lake country.

Congrats on the freshening up of the house. I hope to have new windows before the end of this month. ANd, on with my reno plans from there. Blessings, Elizabeth
