learning every day

I bought a pedometer recently, and it arrived in the mail last week.

Thanks to this strategic purchase, I have learned today that the walk from my desk to the vending maching two buildings over in Rockefeller is about 550 steps. I would have only gone about 30 steps, but the vending machine right near my office was out of Cheez-Its.

At 550 steps, that theoretically means that if I could make the Cheez-It trip about 19 times a day, I would get my recommended 10,000 healthy steps per day. I didn't realize how little that really is until now and my 3 building frame of reference. I should totally be able to do that every day...man I'm a slack ass.

But, this is why I bought the pedometer, so that I can have a digital readout of my being a slack ass. Mission accomplished.

This also means that I should hide better snacks in my desk, considering I'm willing cut through two buildings, various staircases, etc, to get Cheez-Its.
