I live in a teal world. They know me here. Look, it was a pretty easy selling point that it was teal but it ALSO keeps me on track with fitness AND money goals! This is now my third style of FitBit after the original charge gave me skin rashes and I lost my Fitbit One when it came off my yoga pants in an Uber – I’ve had the FitBit Charge 2 for 4 months now and have had no issues!

5 Awesome Apps That Work with FitBit
In honor of our 5th week of #TealTuesday
StepBet
ICYMI: 2 weeks ago I signed up for a StepBet Challenge that started yesterday that I bet $40 and should get that back AND THEN SOME! which will all be calculated by my FitBit. The pot is currently at $26,520 with 663 participants and last night I met one of my stretch goals so I’m on this.
There is a similar app called Pact but they are currently having integration issues with my FitBit…so we’lll see what’s up with that in the future!
Achievemint
I use Achievemint to earn for fitness for free- link your fitness and social media apps to earn! Sign up with my link and earn 250 points. You can earn points for logging through connected apps, posting health-related tweets, or checking in to healthy locations!
MyFitnessPal
I like that MyFitnessPal (MFP) links to my FitBit and then I get some more calories back to eat! As of today I’m on my 51st day of logging which is probably my longest streak to date since I did Weight Watchers in 2012. The key to health is eating mostly right and moving your ass and this app helps with that.
Walgreens Balance Rewards for Healthy Choices
Walgreens will let you link your FitBit (and other apps) to your Walgreens balance rewards so you can earn cash back for steppin’ it up! I’ve got about $10 sitting in there right now and I usually just cash it out in $5 or $10 increments whenever I see it. It’s basically free money back for having a FitBit!
higi
If you have seen a blood pressure station at a Rite Aid or Walgreens it’s probably a higi station. This is how i weigh myself because I don’t keep a scale in my house and it links to my FitBit. Honestly, the rewards for higi really suck but I like that I have to go to these to weigh in – kind of like my own ghetto Weight Watchers but without the meetings.
What do you use your FitBit or other tracker for? Has it been beneficial?

[…] I am Three Weeks Down on the StepBet Challenge I was pretty concerned that my rest day was on Thursday due to a snow day – I REALLY needed the sleep and laziness. Sunday was rainy and NOT EASY and there was a LOT of house pacing and chores-doing. Mad shout-outs to my weekly Aldi date who also needed to go to Petsmart and was happy to walk a few laps with me around the store before checkout. […]

[…] My first StepBet is in the bag! – I’m now waiting to see just how much money I actually get. StepBet keeps 25% of the pot and then the rest gets paid out to the winners…luckily, you’ll get your $40 back no matter what but I’m hoping for a few extra bucks to get some new Nikes. I also signed up for the next challenge that starts today and my goals are a few steps lower so that’s exciting. […]
