Happy Sixth Night of Hanukkah!
Today’s giveaway will help you and your future self with the Gift of Health – now and in the new year! Maybe you’ve had a few too many sufganiyot, or you cleaned your relatives out of their entire chocolate gelt stash in your last round of dreidel (nice job!), or maybe you’re cold and a little tired, and want that delicious rush of endorphins. I love those. Endorphins are the greatest.
Whatever the reason, this prize will help you keep moving forward into the new year.
Let’s get to it!
Today’s prize is a Withings Steel HR watch!
The Steel HR Activity Watch comes in a bunch of color band combinations, retails for $179.95 and comes with a variety of features. The customization options are terrific, too. You can set it to track any number of activities with the press of the side button, and can customize which activities are your most frequent (for me, that’s running, walking, weight lifting, snowboarding, and sometimes Zumba).
It also tracks your heart rate and let me tell you, that’s some heckin’ strong motivation when I’m getting tired from a run: I bet I can keep my heart rate up to moderate or intense levels for another minute. It’s funny how more data about what I’m doing makes me want to do more. Sometimes my gift of health to myself is giving myself encouragement when I most need it, and the watch helps me out with that process in really neat ways.
Here are some additional specs:
- Smartphone compatibility with Android and iOS.
- Receives smartphone notifications.
- Water resistant up to 50m.
- 25 days of battery life.
- Heart rate and other fitness monitoring.
- Compatible app for fitness tracking.

Two more days left of our Hanukkah-palooza!
Courtesy of one of my favorite movies:
Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it’s reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40, 000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
So I guess my future travel is immense.
OMgosh this is a hunka burning steel! Walking every day and keeping that heart rate up would be my goal 🙂
Shooting for 3 Meltan candy a week. So, =\= 2000 miles?
I don’t really have a set number in mind for walking, I just want to keep moving more in 2019 to keep healthy! But around 10,000 steps every single day seems to be a good target.
In 2019 I’m hoping to start hiking more again after having an injured knee part of 2018.
After a health disaster this year I would love to go back to my one mile a day walks…
Usually I walk 3-5 km daily an love to hike, when time and circumstances allow, but really would like to try running again in 2018.
OH MY GOD! I’m so excited that this seems to be open to me as well. I’ve been watching the past two Withings giveaway enviously from Asia.
I’ll be travelling at least 20000km next year due to vacations. On a smaller scale, I’m aiming to give the couch to 5km program a go. So fingers crossed that I can get started and maintain at least running once a week next year.
I’m aiming for the 10km Midnight Run in Helsinki next September.
Probably my usual 70,000 steps a week. I try for 10,000 a day, but prefer to do it by week, because – what can i say? – sometimes a bitch needs a real lazy day.
Women and exercise and weight and goals and keeping track. That is a sensitive package for some women. It can be an emotional or stress trigger in certain contexts — such as peer comparisons that comment threads can unintentionally promote. I love SBTB and find it so supportive in so many ways, and just want to send out my little shout out for positive body type happiness. Yes, take care of yourself. Yes, make healthy eating choices to the best of your ability. Yes, exercise when you can afford to. But know that we love you right now for who you are, how you look, and the pages you read. Blessed be, happy holidays, eat a holiday cookie and drink the nog, and then take a walk or go for a ride (some of your readers may, in fact, be disabled), and be the best you can be. That you can be.
I’ll probably only run 500 miles or so next year, but I imagine I’ll walk more…omg, I have that fucking song stuck in my head now, I have to go insane, so sorry
Since walking 30 minutes a day and periodic walks to the restroom aren’t enough to stay healthy, I’ve started to walk/run my neighborhood.
