[BigV]

I have been carrying around a pedometer pretty regularly for the past few weeks. I even got a new one when Tink told me she wanted hers back. I programmed it for my stride length and weight, and now it can calculate how far I've walked, how many calories it thinks it takes to carry myself that far, and how much time I've spent in motion.

I plan to join the 10,000 step club. But I'm not there yet. I keep thinking "I'll make a thread, that will keep me from backsliding" but I have been successful (until now) in avoiding closing that avenue of escape. No more. I'll report my step count (and if I'm really bold, my weight, distance, time, and calories) each day (jaysus, did I say that out loud? *every day*? you idiot, now you're screwed). My progress, or lack thereof, will be just as public as it is now, only to more decimal places of precision. And I won't be able to hide it with baggy clothes.

I've found that when I put the pedometer on first thing in the morning, if I look at the readout just before I reset it, I think that will be the high water mark of my mileage for the previous day. None of them have been over 10,000 steps so far. Dammit. Ok, let's get started.

Yesterday's total steps: 8883. See you all tomorrow.
