10,000 Steps, revisited

After this week’s disappointing weigh-in, I decided to get my butt in gear and really start exercising. I had a lot of success with the 10,000 Steps program that I started over the summer, and I wanted to continue it.

Remember that pedometer I mentioned that was collecting dust in my drawer? Well, I think the poor thing must’ve decided to find a new home with someone who wouldn’t put it away for 9 months at a time, because it’s gone. I looked in every drawer and can’t find it anywhere. Where could it have gone? So weird.

I know that now that I’ve ordered a replacement pedometer, the other one will show up, but I’d rather have a 2nd one than none at all.

(I swear, I need to get my shit together. I like to think of myself as a very organized person, but I do have to admit that I’m terrible about drawers. Of any kind — desk drawers, bureau drawers, closets, filing cabinets, etc. Once summer hits I’ve got to get a true sense of organization going).

But I digress…

I’m really looking forward to the 10,000 Steps again. I remember that my competitive spirit really kicked in and each day I’d play a game with myself to get more steps in than the day before. I used to keep the pedometer right by the nightstand so I could put it on before I even headed to the bathroom. Gotta count each step, right? Kind of obsessive? Yes, but hey, whatever works, right?
