Pedometer Chronicles 1

The GoWalking Sportline pedometer costing $3.99 at Walmart may be about as close to a plastic piece of crap as one can get. Either that or my patients are essentially inert. I recommend getting a pedometer and walking 10,000 steps a day over and over and over all day long. My patients come back with their diaries and describe heroic efforts to accomplish a measly 3,000 steps a day. The first day I wore this pedometer I did practically nothing. I went to the coffee shop. I walked the dog. I went grocery shopping. I supposedly walked over 3,000 steps doing so. Today is my first day wearing it at work. A few people have heard it rattling at my hip and given me quizzical looks but no one yet has asked me what is making that noise. It's 2pm and I've gone 4,000 steps if this this thing is to be believed.
