Forgetfulness

[lillilah]

My psychologist would like me to get a bit more exercise. She expressed it in the form of steps. I don't want to give up things that are exercise but don't generate steps, which makes sense. However, I keep forgetting to turn on the exercise counter for things like tai chi and gardening. An hour of tai chi is actually a lot of work, but it is too slow to show as lots of steps. Of course, one would think that the heart rate monitor would tell the band that I was exercising, but it seems to not do so well at that. It got readings from before and after, plus one reading from when I was actually working on gardening (which was much higher). However, now that I check the settings, it was on the "check every ten minutes except when exercising" setting, which is probably part of the problem. So, with a better setting, it might do what I want it to.
