Deck stacked against me today…

I’m so pissed. I have been marching my ass off all morning & walking extra steps to do everything. Was about to hop on the treadmill, because TODAY I was going to get as close to 10,000 steps as possible. I mean I took a friggin personal day to focus & enjoy whatever I wanted… & I wanted to hit 10,000!

F****ING POS pedometer hasn’t registered a SINGLE STEP. NOT ONE….WTF? I have moved it around to a couple of positions, NOTHING. It looks fine, hasn’t fallen in the toilet or anything.

Worst part is… I have a spare one, from back when I thought I lost it a few months ago.. guess who lost the spare one! Jeez.

…..ok….. so the important thing is that I am getting in the movements & the calories get burned off no matter if the gadget is working or not. But this just stinks.

off to search more.

I’m tempted to go to Dicks to get a new one, but I can get one cheaper online (even if I have to wait to get it in the mail) & my luck today I would get busted by someone from work. Plus I bet that place is pretty busy this time of year. They could be sold out or something & then I would have just wasted my morning….

deep breaths, deep friggin breaths.

Sometimes you just feel you can’t quite win.

Just have to remember that the movements & stuff adds up even when I’m not measuring it.  Something about seeing the steps add up is like getting points.  Makes me strive to get more.  I just need to keep moving & hope the scale rewards my efforts.

So I guess I have to push back the New Years resolution back a few more days.  I will still count calories &  exercise.  Maybe I will even read up more on how to get fit & organize my plan even better.  Still use the day off work to focus on getting fit.  Just not quite as planned.

I can get through this even with the brick walls I keep hitting.

Could always be worse… I didn’t damage any body parts!

    Yep, I used to love pedometers too -all that tracking on automatic -until my son discovered they had a reset button he could push while I was still wearing it- I totally feel your pain!
