An issue at work forced me to log in to my email yesterday, despite being on vacation, and I saw a disturbing email: the GlobalFit Destination: You program at work is being shut down.  I had kind of expected this, but now I know that the end date is near.  January 15, just 4 days after the mid-year point of my fourth year in the program, will be the last day, with trackers and the website going inactive the following day.

This leaves me with a little less than a month to find an alternative solution, or to stop trakcing my steps until a replacement program, mentioned in the email, is in place.  iOS 8 includes a step tracker in the Health app, but I’m not a huge fan of its reporting capabilities, plus it requires me to always have my phone physically on me in order for steps to count.  Is it too late to ask for a Fitbit for Christmas?
