StepBet Review

It is early, very early. 40 minutes before my Alexa alarm goes off at 4 in the morning early, but this time of day. The time before I get up, do my daily walk and get my steps in is my favorite part of the day. 

I am usually writing or drawing at this time of the day, producing some form of content.

I live in Florida now, I should be hydrating the entire time.

I made a resolution this past spring to drop from 403 pounds to 185 lbs and am giving myself two years to do so, I wanted to do it in one year but I don't know if it is completely feasible, I've never gone on a weight loss journey before. At the get-go, I followed an Instagram trend of posting the hashtag fastingforweightloss and realized quickly how very little I enjoy fasting.

So fasting as an aid to weight loss is pretty much out the window and physical activity strenuous enough to be effective is very limited simply because I get winded from basically any form of exertion I decided walking is something I can do.

My first week of walking was catastrophic, I kept having to lay down on the side of the road and make recovery breaks. Lots of concerned drivers would pull over and ask about me. I believe I became a traffic hazard and I was also concerned about police officers potentially seeing me.

So I started walking super early in the morning to be able to hide in the dark if I had to lay down, but people just started pulling over in the dark, so for two weeks I pressed on and for the past 3 days I have been able to walk my distances without having to lay down on the sidewalk which is something I call a major breakthrough.

I joined a gym 2.7 miles away from where I am staying and started walking there every morning. I looked through as many apps as I could think of for fitness or weight loss motivation and saw StepBet but didn't download it, then I saw an ad for the app on TV and downloaded the app.

The app syncs with my smartwatch to keep track of my steps.

The StepBet app is very simple and easy to use. Navigating my way to a mission was very easy and once I had signed up and synced my smartwatch step counter to the app that was pretty much it.

All I've had to do with the SrepBet app each day is make certain I have achieved my minimum number of steps each day.
