SNAP # 14 – A PEDOMETER
Last week-end my family joined me to celebrate my birthday. Among the many gifts they gave me, there is one I wear everyday: a Pedometer. While my daughter insists she is sending no subliminal message with this present, she did include explicit instructions.
MOM:
1. Wear your Pedometer everyday, all day.
2. Keep a daily log of your steps in a tiny notebook. (She supplied me with the notebook and pen.)
3. Try to walk 10,000 Steps a Day.
She explained that the entire family is wearing Pedometers (True, I checked.) However, her husband, a lawyer, does not wear his Pedometer in Court.
This week I peaked at 17,000 steps (my friend, Ardyth and I walked the 4-mile Loop) and bottomed out, on Monday, at only 4500 steps.
It may not be your birthday but buy the cheapest and simplest Pedometer you can find. Make “Steps” your Mission. You’ll feel better and happier.
It’s a Snap!
