I found that wearing a pedometer (like we need another meter, right) gave me some accountability...for parking in the last spot farthest from the grocery store door...returning the grocery cart back inside the store...and walking back again to the farthest spot.
Those are the babysteps that really add up for me at Weight Watchers.
I clip the pedometer to the center of my bra...right between the girls...for the most accurate reading. I wasn't getting accurate step counts by wearing it on my waist for some reason, but it may be the brand of pedometer I was using. Most pedometers need to be perpendicular to the floor. |
That's a good suggestion as well, thank you!
