Day 9 - You're that blogger guy aren't you

Looks like I'm almost word famous in the Christchurch WW circles.

"You're John aren't you?"
"Yes"
"I read your blog everyday, you're really funny."


Now when it's said like that it sounds like I've been doing this for years. Honestly I haven't. This is the first ever time I'm written one and to be recognised like that is humbling to say the least. Yes I did just say it was humbling and it makes me appreciate a little more the fact that I'm sharing my journey and experiences with more than just the few people who I know personally that read it because they're worried I might ask them to tell me what they thought of the last posting.


Right my little skite out of the way. I want to tell you about my new toy. The Pedometer.... ok it still makes me laugh even when I type it let alone when I say it and sometimes I even have to stop and make sure that I link it together.

Amazing.... you can earn points just for walking and believe me I can do some walking. I clocked up just shy of 5k's between 8:30am and when the last meeting closed and we had packed up around 12:30ish. That was 1 extra point I could use for the day. Anyway meeting ended and I was off to my other job. I managed to get an extra 2 points while doing that one. So thats 3 activity points earned for the day.... this is almost as good as christmas, except without the overly fattening food or the drunk uncle that sits in the corner who thinks it's hillarious to get the baby drunk.

It's really simple to set up and even easier to use. Although a word of warning.... the judder bars at Westfield mall.... Even though you're seated in a car when you drive over them.... they register 2 steps each bump. Don't ask me why I don't know, it just decreased by 2 steps with each bump.

It's great to know I can earn points back for just doing what I normally do and it doesnt even have to be high activity... Although you do get more points and quicker if you set it and go for a run.

All I can suggest is GET ONE!

Now how far do I have to run to earn enough points for a bag of potato chips?????
