Excel Excess

I own several Fitbits because i heart numbers.  I am a bona fide Fitbitch.  In college, i learned that Donny Rumsfeld walks 10,000 steps a day.  I immediately purchased a pedometer, and i would go walk on the treadmill in my apartment complex' gym post-da club, beer in hand, if i didn't have 10,000 steps at the end of every day.  I am very competitive, and i was not about to let Rummy beat me.  If he walks more steps than i, the terrorists win! Now i've leveled up with a pedometer that also monitors my heart rate, syncs with my phone, and signals to my peers that i have made it!  Since i'm no longer in the service industry, i rarely get 10,000 steps in a day any more.  Whatever!  Rumsfeld's probably sitting on his fat ass these days too!  Neither of us are getting younger!  Don't judge me!
