More steps of progress, literally

ceriAs I mentioned in my big biographical musing I've been deep in a physical, mental, and emotional hole for several years. Coming out of it (in various senses) is very much a matter of increments: I do something, and gradually it helps, and suddenly I feel like doing more.
Today was one of those days. I've been walking more lately than in half a decade, and suddenly I felt a real drive to have a good pedometer. Ones that clip to the waistline or belt are iffy for me, because I have a lot of fat that can get in the way. But recently, friends have mentioned using pedometers that can work while in a pocket or purse, and when hooked to a shoe. That I could handle. So, all of a sudden, I thought, "I need to get one of these. And a new bathroom scale, while I'm at it," since the old one perished quality in my long crash.
I'm...not much looking forward to finding out what my weight is right now. It would be fair to say that I feel some active dread. I've been putting off finding out because of that stretch when I wouldn't have been able to do much about it. Now that I can, though, I'm ready to know, and to have some improvement to measure.
