Hey, don't discount that walking in circles and pacing while waiting in line. Now that I wear a pedometer, I understand how each step adds up and every little step counts. And since I now have a goal in mind (10,000 steps), I will take a few extra steps so that I reach my goal by bedtime if I am close enough that is. Sometimes, I walk in place while I am brushing my teeth or setting up the coffee pot. Any movement counts toward working off calories. I have a WW pedometer, and it tells me how many activity points I've earn for the day too. So if I reach my goal, I get 3 additional points. They must be used during that same day though. No banking activity points.
Hey now, that sounds neat. I may just have to go to the WW meeting place and see if I can get one. I have a cheapy one but I sometimes think it messes up. I also have one that works with my treadmill, it's okay, but I forget to use it. I like the idea of knowing how many activity points you have.
