Week 2 in the books

Well, week two of the step challenge has been completed.

Day 1 - 5270 steps
Day 2 -8400 steps
Day 3 - 5140 steps

Day two was an over achiever day of sorts. I went to the YMCA to track how many steps I take to walk a mile. I reset it when I got on the treadmill and went a strolling until I was finished. 2100 steps is what it seems it takes me to walk a mile. While I am sure that the pedometer is 100% accurate, I'm sure it's pretty close. I also continued to wear the pedometer until I went to bed that night, so my step count was more accurate of what I did all day.

The other days when I keep track I only put it on when I actually change out of my pajamas. Which of course could be at any time. It is currently 4:3opm today and I still have my pajamas on.

While these first three months will be a good warm up, once I have to hit 10k steps for the last six months of the year it will take a little more dedication. I don't mind the walking part, and I have plenty of podcasts downloaded to listen to. It's just the time commitment. The lazy part of me is always thinking of what video game or movie I would rather be watching. Perhaps I need to look further into downloading video content to my Ipod. Maybe that would keep me more focused.

The wedding plans are still in the beginning stages, but Adie continues to be very diligent and is finding some interesting sounding places to hold the reception. We are trying to arrange tours through most of them on the same day so we can knock them all out in one shot and finally nail down the reception details. After that it's honeymoon arrangements. The rest of the plans are either set, or can wait a while longer before being finalized.

Joan was over last night, along with H-man and Joe. At some point during the conversation Joan said that she was more of a Socialist than a Communist. I said "My mommy the Pinko." Not even five seconds later Hartman trumped me with the now classic in my eyes "Commie Mommy" There may be an exploitation project in the works. I mean, if you got the perfect title, what more do you need. Mirimax here I come. Write me a check goddammit.
