One Step at a Time

OK, now I'm wearing a pedometer. Really. Once you start monitoring various facets of your life (calories consumed, dollars spent, steps taken), it becomes a curious addiction ... in a good way. 
I found out that I probably routinely eat about 500 or so more calories than I should in a day. And that I don't exercise – or even walk – nearly enough. So the pedomoter and the calorie tweating should hopefully start paying off. (For the truly curious, you can sign up on Twitter and then follow my food diary throughout the day.)
I have to report being a bit sidelined this week after contracting a cold. It was right outta left field with no snotty kids in the vicinity. I've been cursing the sniffling and lack of energy that have come with it, but now that I've laid the groundwork for healthier habits, I should be able to maintain it even after the kids get home this weekend. Stay tuned ...
