Taking steps

[racerxmachina.livejournal.com]

First, the serious awesomeness: I'm down to 191 pounds, with weight taken at different times of day so that I can be reasonably sure of statistical consistency. Ladies will testify: eat a grain of salt, retain 5 pounds of water. I'm all over the map some weeks, so I got in the habit of taking two sample weights and using them for weekly reference.
In any case: 7 pounds consistently down since January. Easy striking range of 180. Time to kick it up a notch.
Hence my wearing a pedometer today. Did you know that your typical desk monkey may only take 3000 steps per day? (Or less?) I'm tracking my steps for the next week, exercise days and off days. If I'm over 3000, great. If not, I'm ramping it up. Kaiser's 10000 steps program intrigues me. I wonder what the time investment looks like?
* Other steps: fiber cereals have really helped me not make dumb mistakes that cause me to starve and binge later on.
* Liquid calories... Cutting back on drinking booze. Becoming, to my embarassment, a lightweight.
