October 11

Went to the gym after church.  Normally, Sundays would be my "day off" (if I take one) because things are already busy enough with church.  Today, however, they were holding a dog agility trial in the same building as my gym, so I decided to go in order to use a treadmill that overlooks the rings (they also hold gymnastics and soccer matches in this building, in the same rings).  So I ended up doing 3.2 mph on the treadmill, one hour at 3.2 mph on the random program; according to the display I burned 507.1 cal.  I guess it's been a bit of a busy day as it is (already had morning barn chores & church) because I have a total of 9466 on my pedometer so far.

8:45 PM -
Water - not so great.  I drank 1-1/2 of my purple (28 oz) bottles.  It's too late now to down another half-bottle; I'd be up every couple of hours going pee all night.
However, the rest is pretty good!
Gym - check!
Walking steps - check!  Pedometer says 11,844.
I've been tracking with the Lose It! app for two days now; both days I've been under what it says I need to be under to lose weight.  I have it set up for the "2 pounds per week" option, with my weight and all input in the settings; I've been tracking calories & exercise, and it's pretty good!  Not a whole lot different than tracking points with Weight Watchers, but seeing as it's on my iPod, it's naturally more fun.

Looking forward to the gym tomorrow!  Today we measured DH's walking route (he did 3.5 miles) and used the number of steps he took to calculate his overall stride length; tomorrow I'll be doing that for my own pedometer.  I'll write down the number of steps I have at the beginning and end of a 3-mile treadmill walk, and use that to compute overall stride length, for greater accuracy in computing my walking distance and stuff.  Can't wait!
