10000 Steps

The Godwins gave me a pedometer to use, after many nights of watching me do the rounds in the BT dining room.  Sometimes I recognize that I do take a lot of steps during service - my legs tell me.  The goal for weight loss and fitness is 10,000 steps per day.  That's around 5 miles.  The first day I wore it, a Saturday, I logged in 18,687 steps, at 24" per step during the two services.  This number doesn't include any other steps I might take during a typical work day, like from the office to the walk-in to the oven to the reach-in and back to the office (with food, hopefully).  Plus I walk 5 or 6 days a week for exercise (!), about 3 or 4 miles each time.  Wow, that's a lot of steps. Over the course of the week, I seemed to average about 16,000 steps a day, during service.

So how come I can't lose this measly five pounds I've been trying to lose for 15 years?

And now I have a sore pinkie toe - slammed last night by a falling bottle of wine in the store room.  Hey, at least the wine bottle didn't break!  And it's not going to slow me down, although my steps may be a little shorter for a couple of days...

Life at Brooks Tavern, always something going on.  Some of it interesting, some of it not so much...
