Today’s May 4th, which makes it Star Wars Day, but what’s uppermost in my mind isn’t that—instead I’ve been thinking about how this marks the second anniversary of the day I strapped a Fitbit Flex to my wrist. I’ve worn the exercise tracker continually 24/7 since then, except for when I’ve been recharging or forced to remove the device while passing through airport security.

I took note of where I stood on my one-year Fitbit anniversary, so I’ve been wondering what year two was going to look like. As it turns out, it ended up looking a lot like year one.

The first year, thanks to the gamification of my walking, I took 4,078,838 steps, which came out to 2,030.89 miles.

Now that the second year is over, I see I’m up at a total 8,186,353 steps and 4,076.00 miles. Which means that during year two, I took 4,107,515 steps and walked 2045.11 miles—which is nearly identical to year one!

The difference, however, is in the details.

Though I earned fewer 5000- and 10,000-step badges last year, I earned more of the higher-level ones, even earning ones I’d never earned before, as this comparison of the first and second years shows.

5,000-step badges: 359/351 (710)

10,000-step badges: 301/274 (575)

15,000-step badges: 49/51 (100)

20,000-step badges: 10/16 (26)

25,000-step badges: 3/4 (7)

30,000-step badges: 0/1 (1)

35,000-step badges: 0/1 (1)

My second year also broke my first-year record for the best day ever.

My first year’s best day was April 4, 2014, the day before our annual daffodil party, when I walked 28,398 steps, covering 14.15 miles.

My second year’s best day was October 18, 2014, spent wandering Manhattan, when I walked 35,283 steps, covering 17.56 miles.

No idea what year three will bring, but I’m looking forward to breaking both of those records.

My Fitbit Flex has been very good at keeping me far less sedentary than I used to be without it, and if I want to stick around to write all those stories I’ve got bouncing around my brain, I must keep walking.
