I woke up this morning and checked my Fitbit and found I had walked 4172 steps while I slept. Now I can assure you I did not sleep walk so where did that number come from? In fact I slept like a log.
And now I don't trust my Fitbit. Saturday I walked (slowly) around lake Merced, and at the end of the day it said 15k. Now is that true? Logically it would come out to that for the day, so I guess I will take it. But all these excercise watches are not very accurate. And the calories burned are overstated as well. For my weight I burn about 250 calories a mile, so my walk would be 1000 calories, but the Fitbit says 1200. Not a big difference, but two hundred calories is a meal for me now.
So today my Fitbit along with giving me extra steps gave me extra exercise points, on the side of 5000. Wouldn't that be nice?
I am wondering how many calories I will burn tapping? I am excited about trying something new, I am hoping tap dance doesn't make me do hand and feet together, my shoes are on the way, soon people will be calling me ginger.
Oh well if I did do the 5000 calories I would definitely lose the two pounds I gained.

No way you gained two pounds, Ginger. And you are going to love love love tap. Bad news, tho. You will have to move both hands and feet. I had the same problem with coordinating hands and feet as you (sort of) mention. My solution was to hold my hands in some graceful position and not move them while my feet were moving. I kept hoping the teacher wouldn't notice my hands weren't moving. I guess I'm more Gerald Ford than Ginger Rogers.
