Fitbit

Belinda got a fitbit zip for Christmas.  She wore it when we were working bag check. She wanted to see how many steps we took and the calories burnt from that.  We didn't walk all that many steps.  Probably because we were in a small space.
But it inspired me and I got one of my own.  Found a great deal online with free shipping.  Ha.  Had to pay the post office almost $5 to get my package.  Anyway I set it up and put it on late in the day.  I managed to walk almost 6000 steps in that time.
Belinda had said if she goes for a walk she has no problem hitting that 10000 step goal.  I believe her.  I took a walk before picking up the kids.  Loved the tally of how far I walked.  1.98 miles and over 4200 steps.
It is a little bit of a motivator and I needed one.  And I love that it actually works.  We used to have a manual pedometer but it didn't work very well.  Now I just have to entice Belinda to a competition of how long we can take 10000 steps a day.
