    I finally found my actual pedometer - which means no more wearing down the batteries on my iPod and then guessing what the actual steps I took were... Now I just have to go out for a big walk so I can test out how many steps this one counts so I can tell what to multiply by (I have *never* found a pedometer that actually counts all my steps - I either walk too smoothly or I shuffle, either way, I'm missing the thump that the meter counts) to get an accurate-ish count. o.o;;

    I also found a raincoat! I've been without one for years, and taking my toddler for a walk in the rain without a raincoat? That just STINKS. So now I have one, and new sneakers, and I'll be able to actually get my backside in gear! Hooray! I have to wait around today for a phone call, but once that's in, I've got grand plans for at least a 2m walk, testing out my new raincoat! So exciting!

    Got to get back in gear again. I'm tired of feeling sluggish - sick or not!

    I may head to the beach for some miles this weekend. If not, it'll be one of the trails around. Probably both.

    not having the best of weeks....decided to treat myself earlier on in the week....only trouble is i have continued to "treat" myself a couple more times :sad: I weighed myself this morning....I haven't gained any but haven't lost any either.....

    Going to try and start again from tomorrow and maybe...hopefully at least loose 1lb before weigh in on Monday....I guess not gaining any is something too though right?

    Phone call came back unfavorably. So now I stress, scurry, and otherwise spend my afternoon running all over. Now it is 4p, and almost time to start dinner. So much for my walk, and so much for my good mood. I'm going to hope that this doesn't all go pear-shaped on me, and that we'll be back off on solid footing tomorrow. ^_^ Also, need to check my bus routes, so I can see if I were to take a 4m walk... would I be able to catch a bus home. XD

    Slow to get mileage in. Can't find a battery for my pedometer- mission for tmrw. Then I will make up some miles. Where are you guys finding the mileage ticker? I want one.

    I nabbed mine at tickerfactory.com - it lets you edit the ticker as you go so you don't have to keep remaking it. ^_^
