After my crappy weigh-in Saturday, I splurged and bought a Weight Watchers pedometer. Why? I have no idea. As my husband points out, we have pedometers (though who knows which crap drawer they live in).
What makes the WW pedometer special is that it tracks activity points.I feel like I already do pretty well in the exercise department, but figured having a new toy wouldn’t hurt.
I knew that most people overestimated the amount of exercise they got, but even though it’s discouraging. Yesterday, I only earned 3 AP, including a 5 mi “run,” and today only 4–and that’s from 6.25 miles of walking! Sheesh.
I’m hoping it will give me a little bit of motivation at work to take my breaks walking instead of goofing on the computer or blogging. Even though I can take stairs no problem now, the stairs to my office still provide a little mental barrier. Memories of huffing and puffing and sore knees…
