Yes I cannot believe it! The first one I got at Best Buy and it didn't last a day. Then I bought 3 different Sportsmasters -- not one of them lasted longer than a month or so and the last one a couple days (the store swapped two of them but they still didn't work is why I had three). Then I bought an Oregon Scientific and it lasted two weeks; I swapped it and put the new on on this morning and walked to the store and back; it showed 20 steps. <sigh> All of these have been $20-30 peds.
Yes I ordered the Omron HJ-112!! Sure hope it works as this is really getting ridiculous.
According to mapquest we are now around Chatham, NY. Goodbye Massachusetts, I'll be back soon.
We are heading toward Schenectady, don't know exactly what's there, though I've heard it mentioned a lot, but think it's a funky name. off to do some research. Have a great night
No miles for me today, and no really good reason, except that I was LAZY. I didn't do housework or anything today. I need a good kick in the rump, so I guess I'll have hubby give me one to get me out of bed tomorrow morning, lol. Just wanted to say good job to everyone though. We'll be across the country so fast at this pace. Have a great night everyone, and I'll be back on track again tomorrow.
Well LOL my stupid ped broke again after ONE day but I was home sick and didn't do much. I did walk down to the store so I think overall I got at least 1.5 miles.
LOL Chris, I was going to redecorate my ticker at Springfield MA and here we are past it and into NY... Yay!
Dee.. you need a swift kick in the rump? I'll do it for you.. no charge!
1.6 miles on the treadmill today. I was out of time so that is all I could manage.. I had to go fast.. 3.5mph-4.5mph.. 1-6% inclines. Actually if I hadn't procrastinated I would have had time.. So .. maybe I need the kick in the rump.
So we are in NY... great! Making lots of progress.. every step counts.
LOL well I was a slug today too but I don't want any kicks in the rump; I do that quite well to myself. I think we have all been keeping up an incredible pace so far and deserve a slow day now and then!! puff puff puff
Sorry I haven't had more time to chat! I AM reading everyone's posts, but ending one term and starting the new one has kept me SUPER busy! I am hoping thngs fall back into a pace that is more manageable SOON!
Yesterday was a big butt sitting in the chair day for me.... bad lala!

Yesterday was quite a good day for me, exercise-wise. I did walking, aerobics, AND calisthenics. I rewarded myself at the end of the night (mostly because I needed more calories to hit my low-number) with a skinny cow ice cream sandwich. It was delicious, but I think it combined with all the other foods I ate yesterday are NOT agreeing with each other in my tummy. It's been rumbling all morning.
Ok.. I was a bum yesterday. I was busy on the phone trying to get utilities set up with appointments for us moving into an apartment. I'm living with my parents right now plus hubby and almost 4 yr daughter. Finally, we are moving out. It's so stressful trying to get everything hooked up. Here a deposit, there a deposit. Man, I'll be glad when it's over.
Here's my totals for yesterday. I'll be better today. I have lots of running around to do.

Misty: I have the omron hj 112 and I absolutely love it! I know its been talked about before on here. I had purchased and returned several other pedo's and I have not been disapointed by this one at all. I got mine on ebay and I only paid 23.00 including shipping....very worth it!
WOW, over 134 miles so far
Welcome to the Big Apple
