These feet were made for walking
After dropping and breaking two of them, I got a new pedometer. I loooove the pedometer. It gives me such an incentive to really get my body moving. Yes, in a way it feeds into my weight obsessiveness, but hey if it gets me to exercise more that's never a bad thing. I go for a long walk every day at lunch when I'm at work and I try to break the number of steps I took the day before. Today I walked all the way down to Chinatown and back, almost 9000 steps!!! And they say you only actually need 10,000 a day. I like to get at least 25,000 steps a day on work days and even more on the weekends when I'm chasing the rugrat all over.
And yesterday was so damn beautiful, in the 80s and sunny. When I got home from work, I said to Brendan, let's go for a walk. We walked all over the neighborhood for about 45 minutes, examining every tree, flower, sign. We did have to walk around the "yucky dirt" that Brendan made a point to avoid, lol. And dinner was late, bathtime was a rush, but who cares it was fun!!

that is so great! we had pedometers at one time..but couldn't seem to calibrate it just right.
as for walking with Brendan..that is so much fun! we had gotten into taking a "nature walk" (Harris' term for it, not ours) every evening. it was just a walk around the block though..and mostly..we just stopped..and counted ants. oy. oh...and on most of those walks...Harris wore only a shirt and underpants. saw no need for shorts...or shoes. can you say..."white trash baby in the suburbs?"
