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!
