Of pedometers and HIp Hugger Pants

BAH HUMBUG !!!!

I hate those pants and that is all there seems to be in the stores these days. So unfortunately as the girth around my middle has grown I have had to purchase a few pairs.

Lets back up a minute...

Yesterday I went and purchased a pedometer. The DDs have destroyed my other one. I brought it home calibrated it and was all set to see how many steps I did today while cleaning house. It is warm here to day so I wore shorts, you guessed it hip hugger shorts because they have pockets to carry small toys from one room to another. I attached my pedometer and got to work. By the time I was almost done I checked my steps and I had only 1752 steps taken in a couple hours of cleaning and going up and down the stairs to make sure DD#2 hadn't destroyed anything I had already cleaned. That is when I noticed that if the darn thing isn't exactly perpendicular to the floor it doesn't record and since I am such a long waisted person no matter what I did with that thing on those shorts I couldn't get it to work.

So after cleaning a four bedroom house, chasing DD#2 all over the place and playing with the dogs I can now say I only have taken 3468 steps today, give or take the couple thousand that didn't record.

Tomorrow LAUNDRY and a different pair of shorts.

I slipped a little tonight on my food intake, it is Friday Family Fun night and I had a small bowl of ice cream while we were watching our movie. I will give myself credit for choosing the smallest bowl in the cupboard instead of my normal sized cereal bowl.
