In fact, they’re the perfect tool for organising our lives and sticking to our goals.

Ooh, Seven sounds good. I like the idea of having ‘lives’ that are taken away from you, it kind of reminds me of CARROT Fit but less mean! Haha. xo
Thank you for the great post. I have always wanted to get a Fitbit band but it is a bit expensive and I find it difficult to match my clothing style.. Really want to try the Nike app though, I’ve heard it is amazing x
