Cheap Pedometer

I've dropped it a few times. And it's a cheapy so it adds on a step if I move around a little too hard but still... it'll help me be less lazy. Not that I actually consider myself regularly lazy anyway.

I went out after work last night and bought a pedometer. If you're not sure what a pedometer is, it's something you hook to your waist pants to count how many steps you take a day. Mine - is really cheap. As in, bought it at Five Below cheap. I did, in fact, buy it at their highest price tag - but that's still only $5. My goal, in actually, is to make sure I take at least 12,000 steps a day. Somewhere I read that it's about 90 minutes of walking a day. I did a full 94 minutes last night on my mom's treadmill after buying it. It was still several thousand short. Sadly, because I bought a cheap one, I have to add on several thousand more steps a day... just to make up for the occasional drop or quick movement that doesn't include actual walking.

Yup, that'll be me... standing up, walking in place when I'm watching the Sopranos (I recently started from the beginning of season one) just to keep up with my goal. Either way, I'm hoping it helps a little to whittle my middle. I'll keep you posted, y'all. Not that I think you're terribly excited or overly concerned to hear about it. But - I'm excited so I'll be sharing.
