Hello everyone.  I am chugging along in exercise world.  I am having some successes and some discouragements.  I have done my 15 minute elliptical session everyday but seem to have trouble getting to Curves with Josh's daily dramas.  If everything falls into place I can still get my goal by going Thursday and Friday.  I feel discouraged to plan such a thing though because then I feel freaked out when I can't pull it off.  Anyways...I'm trying to regroup my brain so I don't get discouraged.  I'm also trying to decide if I should adjust my strategy and add more to my daily elliptical time and change my curves goal to 2 instead of 3x's a week.  As for better news, I have managed to keep my pedometer on for 2 whole days.  Yesterday I did 13,130 steps and today I am at 9850 so far.  Bonnie -Your steps are great with no formal exercise with them.  I had mine on yesterday during Curves (that I have found to be about 2000 steps) and my 15 min elliptical.    I do like wearing it though because it does make me double think things like taking a farther away parking spot because I do want to see my steps go up.  For those that are still looking for a pedometer, I do like mine.  I ordered it off Amazon.  It is an Omron.  It was on sale for about $10.  It seems to stay clipped.  It saves 7 days of steps, resets itself to 0 at midnight.  The only thing I question about it is it doesn't count steps for the first 4 seconds.  I think a lot of my movements are about 4 seconds long moving from one area to the next.    My main problem with it so far is I keep forgetting to re-attatch it if I change my clothes.  Anyways, that is the pedometer scoop.  Hope everyone's week is going well.
