ARIA by FitBit


If you are like most people the fitness craze has hit and is back. Now it has a more tech feel to it. You can get wristbands that tell you how much you have walked and calories burned, apps on your phone to help you regulate what your calorie intake is and so forth.

Now there is a scale that will sync with your phone and one of the apps on it. The ARIA is made by FitBit (http://www.fitbit.com/).

I personally use the FitBit Flex ( https://www.fitbit.com/flex) to track my exercise information.

The Aria Scale however works with the existing FitBit application and your tacker. It will sync your weight with the app to help determine calorie intake based on your weight goals. https://www.fitbit.com/aria

Some tips:

1) When setting up the Aria you MUST HAVE A WIFI Connection. It will not allow you to set it up over cellular connection or without a wifi.

2) If you step off the scale in mid weight it asks BF? like a scale is anyone's bf but I thought it was interesting.

3) The scale will sync to your fitbit app and will recognize up to 8 people.

Below are some screenshots:






Words of Wisdom

I have let the Words of Wisdom slide for a while now. Mostly because I have been struggling with staying positive and keeping my head above water but also because Donnie has been busy. I know there are plenty of other sites that have Words of Wisdom but to be honest Donnie's seem to speak to what's happening in people's lives today. I know they do in mine.

So for those of you struggling like I am with being positive here are a few of Donnie's Recent Words of Wisdom:


There's nothing that can stop you besides you.
You always find a way to push through.
Today you will too.
You always do.
Now, get to it.


Make this Monday, the best Monday of any Monday you've ever had, in the history of all Mondays, since the creation of Mondays. #HappyMonday!


Mostly sunny means more sun than clouds, partly sunny means more clouds than sun, and partly cloudy means an equal amount of clouds and sun


You have the right to be happy.
You deserve to be happy.
Your own happiness will not prevent others happiness, it'll only enhance theirs!


Love yourself.  Trust yourself. Respect yourself. Appreciate yourself. Forgive yourself. Express yourself. You deserve no less than the best!


We are all here.
All in this together.
Together whether we like it or not.
I happen to love it, in fact.
Life is a gift.
So why not live it?



If you make only one choice today people...

Make the choice to be happy! 


It really is that simple



In this moment...
In any given moment...
In the most trying of moments...
In the most joyous of moments...
Take a moment for #gratitude.


Life is hard... until it isn't.

Life is scary... until it isn't.

Life is life... until it is over!

Stop worrying & start freaking living!

Pokemon and Google Maps

WARNING WARNING POKEMON has taken over! This is not a joke (yeah I know it's April Fools Day) Google Maps was the first to announce this take over. 

Pokemon characters are in a major takeover of the world. Yes you read that right! Gamers get your game on! 

How can you defeat the takeover?? 

Head to Google Maps on your device (any smartphone with Google Maps)! (Please keep in mind you must have the newest version of Google Maps on your device.)

Once you have your Google Maps open it: 


Once you have opened the app tap on search and you will see Press Start Click that to catch Pokemon! 


It will take you to the headquarters and you can start catching them. 
 Simply tap on a Pokemon and tap Catch.
 You will see the Pokemon that you caught and can check to see what your status is or dismiss and continue hunting.


The Pokedex will show you who you have caught. 


Feel free to post Pokemon location so that we  can work together in capturing them!
