I will exercise for comments

As I get older, I find I’m getting rounder and rounder. Sure, oblong or round are shapes, but not the ones humans are supposed to be in, I’m sure. Keeping track of my walking with my pedometer has been fun, but I still haven’t managed to crack the 10,000 steps a day barrier. Since I’m terribly lazy by nature, I am joining Trying to Catch Up on her will exercise for comments blog pledge.

Blogger Pledge
I will exercise for comments.

Time Period: January 11 – January 31
Type of exercise: Walking
Pledge: 1 minute on the treadmill per comment

It’s easy. Every day I will check my blog for the number of comments received on blog posts that day. If there are 10 comments, I will do 10 minutes on my treadmill. Of course, 10 minutes isn’t very long, so I’m hoping I’ll receive lots of comments each day.

Update 16:30: As of 4:30pm I have 50 comments listed with today’s date (including the ones from me) so I’m just starting my first trip to the treadmill this afternoon. Maybe I should have waited until after Thursday Thirteen was over to start this new exercise regime? Nah! Keep adding comments and I’ll return to the treadmill again later this evening. Thanks so much for your efforts so far today.

  1. lol get walking

  2. Can we put multiple comments here and advertise your plight wherever we want? πŸ™‚

  3. Cat – Sure. Feel free to send commenters from anywhere or comment multiple times.

    Hmm, I guess I have to add an extra minute to my exercise plan since I’m commenting here too πŸ˜‰

    I’ll be calculating all comments (no matter which post they appear on) for today’s date to determine how much I need to exercise. This will be a daily event, so hopefully I’ll get a good number of comments each day.

  4. What a fun way to get comments and get in shape too! Can I join in with you?? I need motivation to get back on the treadmill! πŸ™‚
