Alas, the company won't make it compatible with the most current Mac OS, so it's useless to me now. Lame. Anyway. I was so surprised to see that while I was sitting in my chair working I was burning about as many calories as I did when I was dead asleep. Yikes. Having a tool to track my activity definitely kept me honest!Claire Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040271123285093923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801146061707521989.post-41935769011776902202012-06-06T21:46:13.355-05:002012-06-06T21:46:13.355-05:00I've been wearing a pedometer (almost) daily f...I've been wearing a pedometer (almost) daily for a couple of years now. It definitely keeps me honest about how much I'm moving around in a day. If I've spent a lot of time sewing on any given day, say more than an hour, I have a 10-minute yoga/stretching routine I do before bed. It helps ease the tension in my shoulders and back.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192013223759745219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801146061707521989.post-15600695193941234732012-06-06T09:37:39.278-05:002012-06-06T09:37:39.278-05:00I love this!
