New 21 day attempt
New 21 day attempt
O.K. I'm going to commit myself to another 21 days of rangering. I've been getting lazy. Spring ud, spring ud på dine skæve ben...

I'll join you.
Day 1: 3/09- success-12,395 steps
Day 2: 3/10-success-12,606 steps
Day 3: 3/11-success-12,689 steps
Day 4: 3/12-success-need to adjust pedometer: 13,399 steps ?!
Day 5: 3/13-success-calibrated pedometer-14,317 steps.
Day 6: 3/14-success-snowy and rainy today-11,123 steps
Day 7: 3/15-success-12,581 steps
Day 8: 3/16-success-11,000+ steps-accidentally cleared pedometer readings midway through day.
Day 9: 3/17-success-think pedometer is shot. 11,000+ steps as I kept my habits and walking course the same.
Day 10: 3/18-success
Day 11: 3/19-success. This weekend will be challenging: traveling and no pedometer to fall back on to make sure I hit my numbers.
Day 12: 3/20-I'm going to call this an "S day" and chalk it up to travel.
Day 13: 3/21-success
Day 14: 3/22-success
Day 15: 3/23-success
Day 16: 3/24-success
Day 17: 3/25-success
Day 18: 3/26-success
Day 19: 3/27-success
Day 20: 3/28-success - replaced battery on OLD pedometer, returned new one. We'll see if I can get it calibrated, but for our purposes, I don't think it matters.
Day 21: 3/29-success- got the pedometer calibrated, but didn't wear it until 1/2 way through the day.
I think this was a success. I'm going to start wearing the pedometer again to keep me honest, especially on weekends. Also, as budget permits, I will add a treadmill in-house and mount my computer above it so I can surf the web and walk at the same time. Using these principles, I have gotten down to my high-school weight, but leaner and more muscular. I am very pleased, though I have a bit more to do--remember "during".

Day 01, Mar 09: Didn't wear pedometer, but home ranged. Scrubbed down the kitchen. Ranged home groceries.
Day 02, Mar 10: Ranged to visit friends. Home ranged. Pedometer 5019 steps. Not bad for a former couch potato!
I'm SO HAPPY THAT I'M NOT ALONE ANYMORE!!!
GOOD TO SEE YOU, PIRATEMAN!

Sorry that I've taken so long. I range every day with trusty Thor. I range home the groceries. I home range and now I garden range. I find myself "forgetting" things so I have to range again!
My pedometer is registering anywhere between 7-8000 steps a day. I have a really good quality pedometer that doesn't register micro movements and it resets itself every night at midnight. It's impossible to cheat that thing! (I have tried...)
I guess that I'm qualified for at least 1 more 21 day achievement.
I've even found that on my S days that I range about 8000 steps. What makes me ecstatic is that I'm not totally exhausted at the end of the day.
I'm increasing my steps slowly so that I don't get tendonitis again.
I guess that Urban Rangers are too busy rangeing to post...
Happy Tromping!
