Stepping up



So I failed to do my usual sunrise morning gym class today. The body said "Sorry, 6 hours of sleep just won't cut it today." But I have a pretty busy day and, like many of you, subscribe to the get-it-done early philosophy. So I decided to briskly walk my 9 year old to school: .8 miles the short way and 1.4 miles the scenic way. So I did both using my new Steps App which told me how many steps, how many miles, how much time and how many calories burned. Tomorrow, I think I might pocket my i phone from dawn til dust just to see how many miles I walk and calories I burn just being me. Won't that be interesting?!

  1. You girls and your iPhones are just making me jealous! That is too cool.

  2. I'm jealous too. Let us know what it says. I'd be really curious. Great job doing something! I'm so glad you squeezed something in instead of bagging it for the day.

  3. I'm laughing, good for you. How did you ever live without the iphone; T is a good husband for giving you such a great gift?!

  4. I bought a new app for my iphone that used a gps signal and it didn't work on my phone since I have a Generation 1 iphone. But I did break out my Garmin watch as I walked/jogged during Jonah's practice on Wednesday. It was the only way I was going to get it in and it was nice to know how far I went and how long I walked.

  5. Does it tell you how many steps you take? I got in 14,000 the other day. Mine is just an old cheapie but still works. I usually forget to put it on first thing but some days I do.
