PEDOMETERS and PARADES

8229 steps. 8695 steps.6520 steps (and that was a three lap around the warehouse day.)Today...4295 steps. There is still time for  some more. The midday is young.
Poor warehouse guys. They have to witness a constant parade of employees who have barely stepped foot on the sturdy concrete floors. The high rise of rackings provide citylike inquisitiveness as many peer upwards to see what those racks may hold.
Unfortunately for the fork drivers, the warehouse lookey loos have a tendancy to gravitate straight to them. Not to worry,  Feeding America, we've figured out a mini bullhorn system so everybody knows everybodys positions whereever thy tread or ride. Oh, here comes our Safety Manager. Side step into that rack aisle till he passes.
It's great for those who don't get to witness the daily activities of hardworking production folk or the vigorous activity of all the wonderful volunteers. Briskly walking thru the warehouse definitely has it's moments. Especially when you spy cool stuff on a pallet going out to agencys and you realize that so many items are on their way out to those in need and you are a part of it.
Okay so lets talk about those long lanky legged 14000 step a day employees. I'm 5'2" and take midget steps..oh wait, then that would be to my advantage. It would take me more steps to get around the warehouse 3 times than ol long lanky legged guy. Hmmmmm.
Still, 14000 steps...
Tomorrow I get to be zen and breathe into a machine so it can tell me what my resting metabolic rate is.
This will take about 10 minutes and I have to lie on the floor of my little office to do this. Then I punch a bunch of numbers into a weight loss computer program that will tell me everything I need to know to loose 2.2 lbs a week or more, though it's not helthy to loose more than that a week.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO LOOSE 27 LBS A WEEK on the BIGGEST LOOSER!!!!
That's what I want.... oh yeah, I have a job so I can't train all day and have someone yell at my chubby legs.
Yes I actually do do work....
