trouble with a big T



well for christmas S got me a cool new gadget as you can see it is a Sportline pedometer watch!
Well I really am not to hard to please and I would say I have some good intuitveness with most electronic type of things. I am being challenged by this big time.
It seems like it would be great if I could just understand what I need to do to get it to work?? It looks really pretty on and it beeps on command and off when I least expect it. like in the ladies room at work ( my neighbor in the next stall thought it might be a bomb) yikes!!
Today I think I actually got it to countsteps, buit I am not sure if it really was doing it. Apparently it does things like count calories and time spent and steps taken, though I have no idea how to get it to actaully DO all this stuff.
I have read the above pictured manual three times already, but as I told S it is just not that intuitve. hmmmnnn well Love it anyway maybe someone who has one will help me out?? you never know in the blog world.

walking - tickets - stuff




Walking has made it to the top and here's why! It's virtually injury-free, will boost your energy level, help you "walk" away stress and burn calories more effectively as compared to running or sprinting. Experts are no longer promoting vigorous exercise to get fit. They are recommending walking for better health. More and more people are adopting it as the most popular form of exercise and combining it with other fitness programs and activities.
This is one of my " ticket items" a personal goal and i have to say I have been pretty successful in tracking my steps: cause here are my pedometer reports
To date you have taken 428,798 steps. This is about equal to: 214.4 miles (345.2 km)1st Day steps tracked: 3/20/2006 - so I am feeling pretty pumped by these numbers.
I have lost 15 lbs since starting my new job and adding my bus commute that includes about a mile of walking a day! YEAH its not huge but i feel better.
