Today was a tragic day for me. I lost my pedometer of three days. Alas, I knew it would not last long. Over the years I have owned several pedometers and have lost them all. This time I thought that things would be different.

I bought the pedometer so that I could keep track of my walking. I admit I had little faith that the tiny counter would last long. Thus, I did not invest much money into my Sportline 345 Pedometer. I spent about six bucks on it at Walmart. The little bugger measured steps, distance, calories burned, and even told the time. Its only been a couple of hours and I miss it so.

Since I intend on keeping up my walking routine I did a little research on Amazon.com to come up with a better replacement pedometer. The next one I will get will be the Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium Pedometer. The main selling points on it for me is that it does not have to be clipped to a belt. All of the pedometers I have lost over the years were lost when clipped to my belt. I like the fact that the Omron HJ-112 works just as well in you pocket or purse. Hopefully, I have finally found a pedometer that will not become MIA.
