lauraanne_gilman First note: the fitbit is easy to affix to either my bra strap or my waistband without a problem. Well, one problem: because of my, hrm, slightly built nature, clipping it to my front leaves a visible lump under fitted clothing, and to the side means I'm constantly aware of it brushing my arm when I type. So... that needs to be figured out.
Today was, as promised, a sluggish-writer baseline day. With the exception of running out to the store to pick up cat food (more or less around the block and down the street) and laundry, I didn't leave my apartment all day, nor did I exercise (except the usual mid-writing-session stretches, which I do to keep the blood moving).
As of 10:30pm, I've walked 5,200 steps (2 1/4 miles, more or less).
That's nowhere near the 10,000 steps/day they suggest, but not too bad considering the circumstances, and probably proof of my family's belief that even when I'm sitting still, I'm still moving.
Now I need to establish an "out and about" baseline, to figure out how active I am when I head downtown for work, and go from there...
