That is great Agate, but I still don't understand how you are walking that much if the pedaling machine does not count. If the weather is hot how can you go out and do it?

I wear the pedometer all during the day, and the steps being counted are the steps in just routine activities. They do add up.

I hardly ever walk outdoors any more. With winter weather and then the fall I had, it just hasn't been very possible though I did walk outside a bit recently.

I walk around the building, and even when I don't do that, in the course of a typical day I rack up quite a few steps, just doing housework and laundry and so on.

Oh to actually walk again!!!

[Howie]

Here it is, and I'm just sitting down with my coffee. I got the car serviced, and new inspection sticker, then the bank for $, then to the store. Home, started coffee, put everything away, and that's MY walking for the day. Sippppp.....

But the cats! How are the CATS?

[agate]

Thank you, Froggie, for bringing the discussion around to what's really important. If those cats are going without, we should definitely know about it.

good thing those "cats" have 9 lives,,or we will be haunted by ghost cats,,lol

[Howie]

Ghost cats? Just the thought gives me a chill!

Let's see.....at the store, I got their dry food, and their clumping litter, and their treats, and (whispering so Sam doesn't hear) cheese, and sliced turkey...their new favorite, that's MY sliced turkey I never get to eat.

Fuzzy little devils have it made around here!

[SalpalSally]

Darn Cats live better than I do and eat better too!

[Howie]

Here Sally, have a cat treat!

[Virginia]

In my next life I plan to be one of Howie's cats. I love snacks!!

Agate, now you've got me interested in getting a pedometer and maybe I might get a peddler. I have been putting that off due to other expenses right now, but could do it. I really wonder how many steps I take per day, but I don't think it is as many as you do most days and yet I also do laundry, keep house, cook and all those things. Maybe on the days I go to the grocery store I might, but just here at home I doubt it. I guess I do get some exercise. I steam mop the two downstairs bathrooms and the kitchen floor. Now that I have a lady that comes in every other Tuesday, I only do that every two weeks. I was doing it weekly. However, since I have tile in these rooms I like the steam mop, but it is not like having to mop and rinse floors the way I use to do.

Now I am so curious I think I will order me a pedometer. I wonder how you know they are accurate?

[Howie]

Virginia, you are in luck!!! I JUST made a fresh batch of Howie's Coleslaw! Let it set for about an hour, and we can dig in. I have a large selection of Compleat's dinners, and Texas Toast, with or without garlic!!! Em's gud eatens!

[agate]

Howie, I believe Virginia wanted cat treats....

Virginia, I have a Yamax DigiWalker pedometer and got it because it had good accuracy ratings, but others are high rated too, at least according to this:

They can be pretty accurate, and you might be surprised to find that you take more steps on a typical day than you realized.

[Howie]

Everyone wants cat treats, no one wants....Howie's Coleslaw....sniff....and I worked so hard on it....sniff....it turned out so good...sniff....

[Pegakafarmgirl]
