I've decided to hitch a ride on the 10,000-steps-a-day bandwagon to see how I measure up. Bought a cheap ($4.99) pedometer from Target last night and have it clipped to my waistband. This is one of those products where you do get what you pay for, 'cos it counted a violent coughing fit as 5 steps,...(though that may be equivalent in terms of expended calories). To offset the extra "steps" associated with each jarring move, though, I'll subtract about 100 steps each day and take off the pedometer when I'm sitting at my desk. Two hours into my waking day and after tooling around the house and a morning walk, I'm up to 3,740 steps. As I launch into another relatively sedentary workday, let's see if I can complete the remaining 2/3's of my goal in the next 14 hours...
