Pastor Torchie, my Aussie friend who bought me the Pedometer sent me the following website.

Do check it out.

10000_steps_to_healthy_weight_loss

If we were to take 10,000 steps every day, we would cover around 8 kilometers. That is quite a lot of walking to do. Today, I left my house at around 830am and came back only at around 1115pm. In between, I walked around quite a fair bit but I only managed to cover 7.178 kilometers :(

I shall be more deliberate to walk around more...

So, you'd better "walk the talk" - literally and account for your daily mileage in your blog.

To help you in your goal, may I suggest that you sell your car and throw away all EZ-link cards.

Feedback from member for sunday sermon : Thanks for the preaching on sunday. Just the same week, our unit leader also speak the same language: Importance of journalising. By deliberately spending time writing, a few CG members shared that they are very happy to be reminded of God's blessing. THank God for the powerful sermon once again.

Hi Leslie, I have covered an avergae of around 5-6 km daily. It is ok to carry it around as you just wear it around your belt... cannot really be seen.

I read a research somewhere that0 human beings need 30,000 steps a day but our modern lifestyle make us only do 3,000 steps. You of course are doing very well ... but can do better!

hey HT, 30,000 steps a day! Wow... that's a lot. Let me deal with 10,000 first and then will grow into the 20,000 and then 30,000 target!
