My new pedometer arrived in the mail. Yippee. This one comes with a safety harness. Ha Ha Ha - hopefully I can hold on to it for more than a month.
Anywhoodle, sorry this update is late.
Steps: 69,768
Miles: 26.36
Tonight, we go to the mall. That will put on some mileage!

Newt Checks In
I was heading for my plane at the Dallas airport.
Going through security
Being a good little citizen and putting all my junk in the bucket
When I reach for my pedometer
let's here a good ol' Minnesota "Awwww Crap!"
Yes, that's right, the pedometer is somewhere between the hotel and the car rental bus.
So after a little more swearing I accepted my fate and headed home.
But no sooner did I get back into town that I headed to Target for a new pedometer.
It's crap. But it will get me through till the new one arrives in the mail.
Anywhoodle:
Steps: 67,480
Miles: 25.42
I do have to say that I have gotten so used to having it attached to me that I felt pretty naked those few hours. And the pedometer - my poor lost lovely pedometer, it had a clock. So I always knew what time it was.
It's amazing what can become a wonderful and fun habit.
I had high hopes of doing a lot of walking in Dallas. However, it was 100 degrees, humid, and there is no shade. So, I had a choice, get hot, sweaty, red faced, and HOT, or ride in the air conditioned car. I chose the car. Walking home was ok. I could go take a quick cold shower before dinner. But I do have to confess, comfort won out in the morning. I just didn't want to feel gross all day long.

Update
From Wednesday 6/25 to Tuesday 7/1, I have walked a total of 24.57 miles.
They were grazing and saw me walking on the road. All of a sudden they all came running at me in a big group. Then they all stopped and just stared at me. I figured they were just waiting for me to take their picture, so I decided to oblige.
Happy 4th!
Last night I put on 5.23 because of the long walk I took. It was a walk that I used to take when I first starting losing my weight and it was wonderful being back on it. I even had my own cheering section.

Newt Checks In
Newt didn't manage to clock a lot of miles this past week. I had hopes and dreams of walking during lunches. But lunches in and of themselves were just that, a hope. Dang work............
Anywhoodle, here's what I managed:
Steps: 60,981
Miles: 23.06
I have got to get walking more. Sigh...................I have to be in Texas next week. And I hear that most people walk to the office from the hotel. And of course when I fly out of MSP my plane is always at the 9th gate of hell. Which means that walk should be a mile or three :-)
So yippee! I am going to get the chance to walk a LOT next week. This week, Oh, I'm working on it...........

Gotta Love the Mall - Newt and Daisy put on the miles
Shoe shopping has it's advantages. We clocked 2 miles just shoe shopping today! Ok, so it was way more than shoe shopping, but it involved shoes.
Between a busy day at work and shopping with One Daisy I clocked 13, 283 steps and still counting for Thursday!
That's 5.03 miles. And I'm not done yet for the day!
Sweet. I mean, shoe shopping alone is fabulous, but add to it that we are raising money for MS and it's ...........it's...............it's.............shoegasmic!
