Exercise

So, I figured out that taking 9500 steps during the day earns me 5 points.  Really?  Just walking for (almost) the recommended number of steps earns 5 points?  Okay, so I can also take a 25 minute walk with moderate exertion will earn 3 points, so I guess that makes sense.

Why did I figure out how many points 9500 steps were?  I went shopping yesterday instead of going to the gym.  I wore my pedometer both at school (running around during regents week is par for the course) and then shopping.  Between the 2, I logged in about 9500 steps.  And since WW has an activity converter for steps with an "all day" setting, that's what I used.  5 activity points!  Today, I went for a walk, since it's still pretty nice out, and that's why I know that a 25 minute walk earns 3 points.  So, I've earned half of the "recommended" exercise points in just 2 days.  I'm going to have to log in those daily steps more often.

Doing well tracking, it's hubby's fault.  So, it's slow, but steady in the right direction.  He's doing much better than me, but then, he's male (duh) and he's never done a weight reduction program, so his metabolism isn't as screwed up as mine.  Oh yeah, he's also not a post menopausal woman, which I'm told also hinders quick weight loss.

Tomorrow, I'm not working, so I'll go to the gym in the morning.  I'll get back into this exercise thing, eventually.
