Pedometers

I wear one for work for a discount on insurance.

My Question is this: Should I add the miles I walk regularly as a cardiovascular workout on my diary, or leave it alone due to the fact that is wasn't an actual workout it was just my general daily routine mileage?

I know my diary stated my calorie intake was based on me losing weight by "meeting this calorie goal with my daily normal activity" I just wasn't sure if I should include these or not.

    It all depends on what you have your activity level set at...if you have it as sedentary, then log the walking. If you are set to lightly active or active, then don't :)

    haha, ok...then log maybe half of the walking, now that I have thought about it more...for work I sometimes have to go out and measure a house which is a lot of walking and climbing and squatting down, etc...I usually only log half because it's not constant motion like when I run...

    Recently I've been logging the miles I do after work, not during work. maybe i'll just stick to that.

    I'm surprised no one else has commented on this yet...haha, clearly you and I are bored out of our minds at work all day. If only this time could be used for working out...

    Logging what you do after work is a great idea!

    See, I was going to make a joke about what a pedo-meter actually guages, but then you folks got all serious. Yeah, definitely if you sit on your *kitten* all day like myself, you should gauge that.
