Irony
I'm sitting playing Madden, still wearing the stepometer on my hip that I mentioned a few posts ago. Then, I had an itch on one side of my butt. So I leaned to the side and scratched in between plays. In doing so, I happened to shake the stepometer enough to add about 5 "steps" to yesterday's count.
Suddenly, 10,000 per day seems much more reachable.

You say you got that stepometer thing from McDonalds? Are they thinking of the happiness of their regular customers perhaps?

I'll admit to shaking my pedometer once or twice when my work had a stepping contest....i just can't resist cheating if there's a stuffed animal up for grabs....

I predict a lot more butt-scratching in Omar's future.

well, maybe you can still sort of make it count. bootyshaking is definitely good exercise.

cheating will get you nowhere!

Ant - Yes, it was from McDonald's. They were trying to give off the impression that they cared about people's health.
glo - Well yes, for a stuffed animal, I might have been scratching my butt all day!
nadia - Indeed, my friend. Butt scratching galore.
cadiz - Even I'd say that these "steps" were questionable. But yes, shaking my booty, even if I wasn't actually taking steps, seems perfectly legitimate to me.
jasmine - It won't help me in a quest to shed some pounds, but it'll make me feel better today! I'm all about right now. I'll worry about November sometime later.
