My pedometer 'NUDGED' me to "take more steps!"

I bought my pedometer - through eBay, then through Amazon.com, then at CVS (only $5.29 after the clerk stared me down with "Well...!?!?!?!" after I asked him where his pedometers are - then he showed me).

And now I'm walking...  One round-trip to the grocery is one-fifth of my daily quota, which is great - better than 30 round trips to my office across the street.

But more important, I used to dread walking INEFFICIENTLY from point-to-point inside my studio, but now I'm thankful for the exercise, however I get it.  Since I have a 10,000 step daily quota, everything counts.  And my rebounder is getting lots of use now - while listening to NPR or watching the nightly news.

"Take more steps!" Dr. William Zucker of Winchester, MA, urged me as we chanced upon each other near Harvard Square on Thanksgiving Day, and that's exactly what I've been doing.

Even over-eating somehow SEAMS less deadly because I feel like the abdomen is much more fit than it once was; and I'm less interested in just eating to 'push' the inside of my belly.  Instead, I can WORK to get my abdominal muscles to do some of that same forceful inside pushing.

The insights from Buddhist meditation ALSO are finding new applications like I'd never before thought.

Yep!  Just keep it up.  :"Take more steps!" - Dr. William Zucker, Winchester, MA, vegan MD
