Weight-Loss
Tuesday... 05/03/2013 31,386 steps - tuesday night is salsa night :)
 
Woo hoo, I'm going hiking on sat for a few days so might give you a run for your money next week:)

I've had 3 low count days. I didn't even make it to 8000 today!
 
Hiking sounds loads of fun. The walking on an uneven surface should be extra productive. My friends that live on a Greek island swear by the benefits of walking on sand to make it more effective...

Wednesday... 06/03/2013 26,685 steps
 
I'm sure that you will be doing loads of steps in that hiking...

Thursday... 07/03/2013 23,373 steps
Friday....... 08/03/2013 20,928 steps
Saturday... 09/03/2013 23,045 steps
 
Tuesday....... 12/03/2013 30,694 steps
Wednesday... 13/03/2013 28,343 steps
Thursday...... 14/03/2013 26,865 steps
Friday.......... 15/03/2013 20,740 steps
Saturday...... 16/03/2013 16,414 steps
 
Pedometer reset means that I have lost my data for Sunday and Monday - I think that Sunday was about 17,000 and Monday about 26,000.
I know that Tuesday went up to over 31,000 (it was my big salsa night and I noticed that it was that as I got home).

It reset today at about 16,000 and has clocked up another 10,799 so far since then... I'm not doing much more tonight.

I hate it when my pedometer resets...

Wow! Omega, that's really some big time miles and steps your doing, half of a marathon! I thought I was doing great with 12,000 steps and 6 miles! I recently got the Omron HJ-112 because online reviews said the Omron's are really accurate, and it seems to be, I traced off the mileage on Google maps and it matched the Omron perfectly, I was surprised.

Very unfortunately, I have a case of Plantar Fasciitis which limits my walking. If I let it rest a few days, I can distance walk again but can't walk daily. But! when I lose more pounds, I'm hoping the Plantar goes away.

Thanks Knotty for your supportive comment. I do walk quite a lot. Then my step counts really climb high with lots of dancing... The zumba and salsa sends the stepcounts crazy... My Fridays and Sundays tend to be noticeably less than the other days...

I have been having a lot of problems with my pedometer recently... It has reset too many times to be funny... It reset again on Wednesday and lost a whole load more data...

This is particularly annoying as I am only wearing one pedometer at the minute... In my big project I took to wearing two pedometers so they could check up on each other... I am a bit eccentric and obsessive about things like that... I got to thinking that the numbers were so high that I could be deluding myself that I had done "enough" when I hadnt... It also gave me a backup so that I wouldnt lose all my steps if one reset... Of course you do not really lose the steps if you do not have the number because the only point in them is in doing exercise and burning calories and that happens whether you know the number or not... It is silly - but I always feel like I have been robbed of the steps...

Anyway - I have been wearing a Weight Watchers pedometer - but I am not going to WW at the minute - so I am getting a new pedometer soon of a different type... My husband Rod wears an Omron pedometer and he is very happy with his so we have decided to get me two of those... LOL I think that he wants a second one too (so we will probably end up buying three) - as I think that my eccentricity is rubbing off...

I am sorry to hear of your Plantar Fasciitis problems... I have heard that it is very painful.

Luckily I posted my late Tuesday reading in one of the threads here so I should be able to find it...

Tuesday.......... 26/03/2013 - I have it posted somewhere it was over 30,000 steps as my big salsa night
Wednesday...... 27/03/2013 23,536 steps - pedometer reset at mid-day - lost all steps before then
Thursday......... 28/03/2013 16,233 steps - low for a Thursday - didn't go dancing as we went out with Andy
 
Yes, my Omron resets every seven days. I wish they had a feature where you can have it reset or not, also when to start logging. I find when I pick it up and walk to the front door, it's already logged steps to the door. But I bought it because it's supposed to be very accurate which it is. Me being a gadget freak will probably end up with a few pedometers! not a bad idea wearing two, it'd be a bummer if say the battery ran out on a walk with only one pedo.

Keep up the great walking! boy, I can't get over it, 12 miles! people who haven't walked can't imagine how long of a walk that is.

There is something dodgy with this pedometer... I am not sure whether there is looseness in the battery cavity all ofa sudden or what - but it just keeps resetting in the middle of the day... I've had this pedometer since 2007... you cannot expect things to last forever...

I am ok with the "every 7 days" thing - I'm used to that... I know that I have to capture the data for the previous week if I want it... I don't get any steps on the 8th day until I have saved the stored data and pressed a button... It drives me crazy to look at my pedometer half way through the week when I have walked a few miles that day and I look down and it tells me that I have done 100 steps and my stride length is set to 0. I have to reset the time and stride and try to remember how many steps it had the last time I looked...

Friday......... 29/03/2013 15,891 steps - Friday tends to be a low day - no dance and no zumba

I've suffered some more pedometer resets. I havent missed a day of good steps - and made sure that I get in at least 15,000 steps every day.
I know that the Tuesday would be turned 30,000 too as it was 17,000 when I looked then I walked about 2 miles and then it was 0 when I was at salsa... I restarted it and it clocked up nearly 11,000 at salsa

Time this wonderful challenge got reinstated...

My stepcounts have been rubbish recently. I'm going to start posting here again.
It would be great if others joined me again.
With luck it will shame me into making sure that they are at least 10,000 into the future...
