April 16th: 10,068 steps, 5,727 aerobic (went real live running on real ground)

Congrats on the running! Awesome - that had to have felt so wonderful & freeing.

Okay, I'm just starting again & lost the paper I was recording the steps on. I moved it from the master bathroom & then couldn't remember where I moved it to. My new one is small but doesn't have any features like a memory. So I only have 2 days to report.

April 21-6,594
April 22 opps Thursday is for next week - only 1 day to report.

So that I don't lose the paper again, I want to log the days here & then transfer that data to the next week's challenge if that's okay with you.

Sounds good to me. Maybe we should make the pedometer challenge daily instead of weekly? Awesome on the 6,594, that's a lot of steps in a day. My steps are only at the 10K mark because I start most days with an hour on the elliptical, when I skip the workout my steps are like 2,000-3,000 (unless I go shopping).

I got lazy this week and forgot to wear my pedometer. Right now, I'm kicking myself because I just got home from quite a hike and I left my pedometer at home! oh, well, I'll get back on the wagon this coming week.

[desertmountain]

Oh, too bad you missed logging in a hike, Mandaba. It does take a while to get the hang of putting it on every day doesn't it? Sometimes I don't remember until later in the day but I've been doing better since I've been keeping it in my bathroom. Some mornings I don't think I'd notice an elephant sitting on my counter though.

My log-
22 Thurs: dang it! lost that paper *head thunk* I could have sworn that I left it right here next to the computer. What is wrong with me lately? Somewhere in the low 6,000's I think so I'm going to guess at 6100

Ah ha! Found that paper hiding under some things needing to be filed. 22 Thursday: 6483
23 Fri: 6821
24 Sat: 6349
25 Sun: 5958
26 Mon: 3792
27 Tues: 4125
28 Weds: 6472

29 thursday 7491

I keep my pedometer on the top of my dresser, and put it on when I get dressed. I even sometimes clip it to my pj's, but not always. I keep the numbers logged in a little tiny book I made. The book is pretty much like the fitday log, but it's hand written and pocket sized. I take it with me when I'm going to eat away from home so I can log the food and look all of it up later.

So we start our week on Thursday? Just so I know...

I think I'll add mine as I do them, just keep coming back in to edit if that's okay?

ETA: I didn't start wearing my pedometer until the 22nd.
