RE: Road to American Ninja Warrior - Day 110
without fitbit tracking it, it seemed like such a waste.
Seriously?! LoL XD
My partner has one of those tracking apps, I don't know if he has a purpose for them or if he's doing it just out of curiousity. I don't really see the point in them but I guess if you're curious or have a workout plan? Or part of of a Movement Mob XD
Having said that I've found Ingress and PoGo actually good in giving me some direction. If I know I have time (which is basically never now) I do the long portalstop route. If I don't, I do the short portalstop route. And that way I got home and all the things got done. Otherwise what sometimes used to happen before I started playing is that I would just kind of walk and seeing as I can probably walk forever I would end up halfway or all the way to the next suburb and then get home late and be in trouble for missing dinner and bedtime XD Without the games I would probably still be doing that x_x
Yay for improvement, and just remember there's pushing yourself and pushing yourself and one of those things you don't want to do XD
Seriously!
There is something that breaks in your brain.
The delight you feel when you see those little numbers go up when you're really active, immediately turns into a drug-like dependency to keep racking up those numbers.... that's why TV shows like Black Mirror are so scary, it's so close to what could happen.
I use mine to track my runs since I'm not using Strava... but I think for most people, if it gets them out and walking or running to satisfy their number-raising OCD then more power to them. Ingress and Pogo are amazing apps for this exact reason, Ingress especially...
Hahahaha, that last sentence is amazing!
