It feels like it's been awhile since I had a three things post. I've got three unrelated things tonight. Here we go!
1. Shapa. This afternoon I was looking at the wellness program that we use at my work. It's called Vitality. I actually really like it. When I do healthy stuff, like exercise or meditate or have a mammogram, I earn Vitality points. The points somehow translate into Vitality bucks that I can use to buy stuff from the Vitality store, like Amazon gift cards, Nike and Under Armor gift cards and stuff like that. I'm less than 300 points away from achieving platinum status this year. I'm not sure what that means, but I'm totally stoked about it. My sister-in-law Janet also has Vitality through her workplace. Janet hit platinum today. Exciting!
So I was looking at the website and I noticed they had something that could earn you 800 points called Shapa. I have never heard of this thing before. It's a round scale that works with an app. The thing about it is that it is a scale that does not tell you how much you weigh. What? Instead, it gives you a color that ranges from "you need to try harder" to "you're doing a good job" to "wow! You're amazing!".
I spent a little time reading about this device and wondering if it was something I would like to have. I totally have enough points/bucks to buy one from Vitality. The price includes a 12 month subscription to the app. You really can't have the non-scale and not have the app. If you don't have the app, it's just a round saucer thingee that doesn't tell you anything.
I went on the WW social site on their app to ask if anyone knows about Shapa. I got some likes to my post, but no one has said anything about it.
The reason I think I might like it is because it comes up with little challenges that relate to your health and goals. I have WW to tell me how much I weigh; maybe this toy would keep my motivation up. When we have challenges through Vitality, I get into them. I'm not competitive with other people, but I am into pushing myself. Anyway, I'm thinking about it. Might be fun.
2. Fog. This morning when I woke up, I looked out the window expecting to see a bit of snow. Instead, I saw thick, heavy fog. I like fog. Fog reminds me of Christmas in Dixon, CA. My grandparents lived out of town near a creek and it seemed like it was always foggy when we went to their house for Christmas. Fog can be kind of scary because of the limited visibility and the extra moisture it leaves on the roads which can then freeze and get slick, but I still like it. I felt so cozy driving to work in my sweet Subaru with the heat cranked up and the seat warmer on. I was singing some of my favorite songs and driving through the fog. It was great.
3. Books. So far this week I have finished two books. (That's six this month!) I have three more library books sitting there waiting for me: one that I am close to finishing, one that I haven't started, and one that was a seven day loaner that I have two days to finish. I have 308 pages to go. I don't know if I'm going to make it. At the start of the week, I broke down how many pages I would need to read each day to finish by Friday (78 pages a day). I have not read 78 pages a day, obviously. Fortunately it's a pretty good book and I'll give it my best effort. I cannot renew this book. I can pay a late fee of $0.25/day, and I'm willing to do that if I don't finish it and get it back to the library on Saturday. We'll see.
That's all I've got for tonight! I'm going to go read now!
