The first one was a "supposed" bargain at only $10.00 with a built in radio... but it didn't work properly from the get go.
This week I purchased another one...
the "Smart Health Step Tracker" and it actually is the same one I took with me to France ...the only difference is the colour.
I now have a fluorescent orange one whereas the previous one was also fluorescent but in key lime-green.
Funny thing was that I clearly hadn't read the instructions the first time around.
In bold, black type it clearly warns and advises...
IMPORTANT : Do not put the Step Tracker in water.
Had I not fallen into Monsieur Honey's and I believe like most men's habits of trying to do something first before reading the instructions ... I would have avoided the "French" drowning accident of my trusted pedometer in the washing machine at Beaucaillou.
So now I have my accountability factor.
Even without it, I have been trying to walk everyday.
Yesterday, I walked to our local Farmer's Market that is held on Saturday mornings downtown.
I purchased some fresh fruits and vegetables and Monsieur Honey arrived at the appointed time to retrieve the shopping.
I continued walking and did some more Saturday shopping at the downtown stores.
My criteria for any purchases was that the items would have to be minimal in quantity and light weight because I had to walk home carrying these items.
The weather was perfect for walking ... although warm there was a breeze that provided some cool relief.
So with one foot in front of the other, I will keep on counting ...
