    Does anyone know why your steps don't match your calorie burn every day? Like having X # of steps = X calories but the next day it's different. Can a pedometer count your speed or something?

    I think it would need your stride, your heart rate and your weight to figure out the calories.

    10/6 -- 2128 -- totally pathetic! Worked all day with only 1/2 hour break but the weather was SOOO nice the hubby and I went for a motorcycle ride. Tomorrow may not be that great stepwise as after work we are traveling out of town, and Saturday will be a pretty sedentary day. I'll do what I can.

    FYI -- if you happen to wear your pedometer while on a motorcycle or even a riding lawnmower, it ends up adding steps. My husband had his on during the bike ride, and it added 4000 steps. Maybe it's all the bumps.

    Something over 6000 steps today. I took the pedometer off about 4 PM and forgot to put it back on.

    10/8 - Crappy 3000ish cuz I was out with the family doing regular run-arounds. Who new that doing normal errands and shopping would get a ton less steps verses staying home so I can do laps around my house.
