Angie’s post about parking far and walking reminded me of something……. Something you ladies might like to try (if you haven’t already) is a pedometer. I got mine on the cheap at Walmart. It is digital and keeps track of how many steps I take a day and how many calories have been burned. They have fancier kinds that tell you like, how many times you breathed today too, if you like bells and whistles.
According to the little guide that came with mine, 10k steps are necessary to maintain weight, etc. and 12k+ are necessary to lose weight, etc. If you’re like me, you’ll be surprised at how many steps you don’t take in a day unless you purpose to.
Anyway, just a thought……..
I forgot all about a pedometer. I must get one! Good info there girlie!

good idea - I used to have one of these, but I think one of the kids took it for his own entertainment purposes. Perhaps I’ll get one tonight… after parking way out at the store!

I had one and then my daughter hid it. Wore it religiously for weeks. I found it when we got ready to move though and should pull it out. Thanks for the reminder!

Heaven only knows where mine is!
I know I wore it a few days and was appalled at how few steps I actually take! Must dig out.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that has had their children lose it! I never got to try the thing before it was gone!
