Dismal failure.
I'm unhealthy. My pedometer is telling me that the most I walk in a day is 5,160 steps, only half of what the government, or someone recommends (I can't see 2 jags Prescott doing 10,000 steps a day). Also, I am allergic to whatever the meter bit is made of. I'm now sporting little sore areas at the top of my buttock, I'm going to try putting vaseline on the back of it but I wonder if it will still count steps as it will be sliding rather than tapping. Oh yes, thats the other thing, it clicks as you walk. I can remember, as a child, walking alongside my Mother when she was wearing corduroy trousers and becoming increasingly annoyed with the sound her thighs made as they rubbed against each other, it was all the more worrying as my sister and I were dressed in the same outfits as her so I was certain that I must sound the same. As a result I can't wear cords, in case I make a noise when walking. Instead, I now 'click' as I walk along, no one has commented, yet.

(21.9.04 22:05) I got a pedometer from the charity Action Medical Research which was easy to 'set', then I was swayed by the advertising, and got one from the Kellogs cereal offer. This is a b****r to set, and I don't know if it's steps/kilometres/calories I'm reading. I don't know if the clicking is the gadget or my creaking bones! |
