Actifit Report Card: July 28, 2019, underneath

You never walk alone? Xiâo-Aine is not in the mood to join me.

I am cursed by pedometers!

I use 3 different ones and they all count my steps in a different way. One thing is sure they all make you sweat and @actifit is worse of all.

This app (mobile phone) refuses to count my steps as a step.

Today I figured out a step is only counted as 1 step if it is one of 1 meter (this is over 39")! An easy thing for a giant to do but not for me. This means little people, short people, disabled people have to take more steps as a giant.
It also means running or jogging is useless. The mobile will not count each step.
I put my phone in my handbag (bangs against my leg or hip) and the result after 3 hours walking is very disappointing. Same with running on the same place, phone in the pocket, etc.
Like the days before I had to walk 2.5 steps more to get those 10k steps.

The good news
✔ At 10 am I made my 5k step (I started at 8 am).

The bad news
✔ No weight loss.
✔ The wolf hates me for walking the last 1200 steps (I told her to come along, she said it was way too hot.)
✔ Although I made my 10k step at 3 pm (the watch told me) my phone was dead so I had to walk extra and finished at 5 pm. Now I have a lack of time and will never have time to write again 😭.

Lessons learned

  • If you are a poor bastard you have to invest twice as much to get the same result.
  • You can not count on an app.
  • 75% battery is not enough to run Actifit if you go out for 3 hours. Recharge before you leave.
