My Actifit Report Card: January 31 2024 - testing day

When Wednesday finally arrived, I was relieved.

It was a beautiful day of independence.

No more constant "Miss, miss!" calls from my kids.

Just the beautiful peace of going about my own business and setting my own goals.

And testing out my new smartwatch is what I have planned for today.

Will it live up to its promise to precisely track my steps and improve my overall activity experience?

Let's commence today's activities and see how it goes.

I start my morning with a fast walk to the doctor's office, where I do a brief errand to get more antibiotics.

A slight inflammation has been lingering, but I'm hopeful that this medication will swiftly resolve it.

After that, I get in my car and head out on my monthly trip.

Then I jump in the car and head to Germany, where the temptation of cheaper food, detergent, and toiletries is irresistible.

I do this every month.

My home province of Limburg has the benefit of being close to the border, which makes it easy for me to travel there for shopping excursions into Germany or Belgium.

I also frequently fuel up my car in Belgium since the cost of fuel is less there than it is elsewhere, which is another way that having open borders makes our lives better.

I arrive early at the German supermarket and discover that I am the only customer, a peaceful haven with plenty of room.

I make my way down the aisles, counting each step as I go.

Unlike the normal swarming crowds, the store is quiet enough for me to walk around freely.

After putting the groceries away safely at home, I excitedly check the actifit app and my smartwatch's step counts.

However, disappointment sets in when the figures don't add up.

The actifit app counts a staggering 4965 steps, compared to the watch's meager 3006 steps.

A 1959 step discrepancy is substantial, casting doubt on the accuracy of the smartwatch.

Are my fitness goals going to remain impossible because of the difference in results?

A dental appointment for my youngest son and myself is next after lunch.

Part of a good lifestyle includes good dental hygiene.

Gum inflammation can cause vascular and cardiovascular issues.

The rest of the day is spent in tranquility, with no significant outings scheduled.

Cooking dinner calls, and I settle on a delicious recipe for pulled pork—a particular favorite.

I'm rewarded with a breathtaking sunset at the end of my day.

The sky filled with pink and gold tones.

I still have reservations about the inconsistency between the Actifit app and the smartwatch, but I'll give my new friend another go tomorrow.

Maybe I can find the reason for this difference and feel more certain about its veracity.

I'm pleased to share the next chapter of my smartwatch journey with you all and wish you all a great evening.

Till then, I hope you have a good night's sleep and a morning full of hope for fresh starts.
