Steps 20140626

Today I clocked more steps than yesterday.

No of steps: 7400

Distance :5.1 km. (wow and i didn't have to go the stadium)

Calories burnt: 100kcal

Weight: 5.4g

Amazing! It goes to show that long meetings are unhealthy. At least for me. I walked lesser the day before because I was stuck in a meeting for half a day. Today's meeting was only 2 hours long. Working in an office where the printer, pantry, mail room, rest rooms and other common facilities are either far away or oriented like a maze where you have to walk around cubicles and boxes/things to get to another place can be good for increasing the number of steps taken. It takes 1500 steps to get from home to the office. I reached 4000+ by the time lunch was over.  Let's see what I get tomorrow. I have no meetings tomorrow. I hope there are no urgent ones.

Today I got to use my pedometer before I left for work till I came home. And here's what I got.

Total steps: 5879

Distance: 4.1 km

Calories :82 kcal

Fat burnt  :4.5g

I'm not into loosing weight but I want to know if I am walking enough. When I goggled and I learnt that I fall into the average number of steps for women generally. I am mildly active. Well, the first half of the day I was stuck in a meeting so I couldn't move so much. I did more walking after lunch to walk to and  from the printer and to pick up documents. Tomorrow morning I have another meeting which I hope will end earlier. I want to see if meetings affect my number of steps or will I stay glued to my desk outside a meeting. 

It was fun watching my steps. I realize it's about 40 to 50 steps to the printer. It takes about 1000 steps to walk from home to the subway and to the office. The rest of the day is spent within the office building. Nice discovery. I shall see what I get tomorrow.

My New Pedometer

So here it is. I finally bought that pedometer. I couldn't wait to test it but I'm too tired to leave the house now. So far I've just been moving around the bedroom and I've covered 264 steps at 0.1km. This is fun! I can't wait to bring this out with me when I go to work tomorrow. I wonder how many steps I will take to walk to the subway and then to the office and then during office hours and back home. Do I have enough steps? I doubt it will hit 10,000 but I think I do walk quite a lot as the printer is I far from my desk.....till the next update.

Counting my steps

I've decided that I will get a pocket pedometer to track how many steps I walk per day. I'm curious about the distance I walk and whether I'm In the healthy range. Am I getting enough cardio? Or know I'm lazy to go for a jog so is walking enough for me? I am too cheap to get a jawbone up or fitbit for now. Let me try a basic pedometer first and see how it goes. I plan to update my progress here.
