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!!!!


Well, duh!

Please note that on July 16, 2010, I officially lost my mind! I went to Bossier to buy a piece of exercise equipment called The Wave and to get my hair cut at Super Cuts. I got half way home and got a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realized, "O, Crap, I forgot to get my hair cut!!!!" I guess I was so anxious to get home and try out my new pedometer and try out my new "Wave" .....wait...no, that can't be it! Today is the day IT happened! Sort of like losing virginity.....I lost my MIND!
