My pedometer and I went to Las Vegas last weekend for my cousin's wedding. I was concerned that such a trip would get in the way of the progress I have been making, but it actually had the opposite affect. Having my pedometer with me really kept me on track and focused, even though I was far from home and surrounded by luscious food and drinks the entire time. I was surprised to learn that I actually ended up losing weight by the end of the trip, instead of the weight gain or plateau that I expected. I clocked in at 15.99 miles for my 3 day trip, and I barely left the hotel. It's amazing, but just walking from one end of a hotel to the other and back again can really be a good workout, not to mention walking through airports, and dancing the night away at a wedding! And yes, I even had it on during the rehearsal dinner and the wedding.
