I have a new gadget- Mi Mio watch pedometer.

I bought it from Ebay- it is an older model-but stylish and it really works.

It was investment of $14.00 and I did put a new battery in it

 It was a bit confusing to use the first time. It keeps track of steps, calories burned age and a few more things, but I mainly use if for keeping track of my steps and the time of day- nice big digital read outs.

(I was using the nice pedometer I recieved from the Lighten Up  Program, but I would lose it, not place it right or forget it . )

This watch is much easier for me -

 Not sure how a watch keeps track of my steps, but I havefound  that it is quite accurate.

I really gave it a chance to work last week when I let my son fish off the pier at Fairport Harbor and I walked 7000 steps around the town. The first few were up to the top of the Fairport by the Lighthouse. It was a great walk, I was suprised to see how nice the town was and the view were fabulous, but I am sucker for sunset views over any body of water, even Lake Erie.
