Good intentions!

I did the research! Many pedometers have failed my tests...as recently as a few months ago, I bought one that fits on the arm like a watch. Damn thing was ticking off steps while I was sitting still. While that would help me reach the 10,000 steps a day needed for fitness, it wouldn't do a  thing for me. I chose the Omron HJ  112, but it was back-ordered from the manufacturer on all the websites except Ebay, so I got one from there in a few days. I got it all set and it started counting about 2:30 today. At 10 P.M. when I took it off, it had 2008 steps, 75 calories, .57 miles and 0 aerobic steps ( it measures fast steps, I think). I'm going to have to get moving to get in 10,000 steps a day!! Whew!

Being the sucker that I am, I happened to see on TV this morning this "Wave" contraption from The Firm exercise program. It looked like something I could do, so I am now the owner of yet another piece of exercise equipment and accompanying CD's. Hey, it's a start and it will store right along side my Wii Fit!!!!

We must be related because we sure think alike.
