When I got my FitBit I told my wife that I had high hopes of getting in 10,000 steps/day right from the git-go.

She said, "With the shape you're in, it's probably going to be one of those 'two steps forward and one step back' things"

So, I said, "I don't care if it's one step forward and two steps back, as long as the darned thing counts every one of 'em!"
