Pedometer- talking calorie counter

Pedometer! sounds good and hep right? Well to me it is definitely somethng new that i have come across.... This morning mom suddenly called me and asked me to read tis booklet and activate Pedometer. Well its a calorie counter while walking or jogging. I did activate it for her and it was so usefull that after mom came back from her walk we could actually find out the distance she walked the number of strides she took in how much time and how many calories she burnt.

Its a very motivating element in walking now. Because generally we calculate the time and km to find out how many calories we would have burnt based on the knowledge gathered from newspaper articles but what we dont know is that, that is just a vague method to a generalised finding. A pedometer is more accurate for it is specific to the person using it. Like this morning mom used it for her walk but before that we had to measure 10 steps of hers on her walk in cm or inches divided by 10 to feed the pedometer with the information of her weight and steps taken so that then it measures based on that.

Now just imagine how usefull a gadget it is to people who want to lose weight and be fit. No more guessing and calculating. All that one needs to do is just walk with the pedometer attatched to you and the rest is done by it.

I surely am very excited about this gadget and definitely will use it.Infact it isnt even that costly the one dad got is for $14.99 which is Rs. 743 but i think in india it cost about Rs.1100 that is what i found on the internet. Imagine where we spend so much on our shoes and gym and others this definitely it a great thing to have.

Also i did a little research on the internet and found that there are many different kind of pedometers like the one dad got is Sportline Pedometer. But there are others with different features. Like some even have radio along with the other features or some just measure the steps and distance like Sportline pedometer measures distance, stpes, time and calories burnt.

I'm definitely fascinated and impressed by it.

Thank you Pedometer!!

Mishty- our new addition to the family!

Mishty! yes thats sweet isnt it. Well thats what we call our sweet little new female lab pup. This happened the next day after Husky's birthday. We actually had been planning for a long time to get Husky a friend, a Girlfriend infact.:-)

She's an absolute darling. She's really calm and obedient. Seems like a moving toy But when it comes to Husky this little cute thing completely dominates over him. Its fun to watch them play with each other. She just doesnt give up with him while playing with him. Though she is just 2.5 months she's silent but aggressive with Husky only.

But very loving and a good friend to Husky. She is an absolute delight to have around.:-)

Husky's Birthday Party

Okay so here i am after a nice exciting weekend. . . . So as i told you all that we were going to celebrate Husky's Bithday which we did. I was definitely looking forward to the excitement but didnt know it would be that great. Wow what a time we had and more than US humans the dogs had a ball of a time with each other.

Well the day started by mom giving husky his 1st toy for the day. Then later in the evening as told one couple came to our place at 7.45 pm with their 2 beautifull dogs Elizabeth and Britney. The couple that came in with Elizabeth and Britney- Praveen and Zenia gave Husky a little basket of toys which were nicely gift rapped which you see above.

What a lovely and funny sight it was to see how Husky who's scared of Britney behaved when she came in. These three had lods of fun for about 2 1/2 hrs. They just freaked out on the buscuits and doggy treats that we fed them.

Then at 10.30 Tushi and Bullet came. What fun we had with these 5 dogs. All the while when it was only Husky, Elizabeth and Britney Husky was hiding under everyone's chair from Britney.

And the moment the other two came in our dear lioness Britney hid under the chairs from Bullet. It was reall good fun to see that. Tushi was being a good mother by controlling her son Bullet from bullying Britney. Amazing to see how these dogs also have such humanly traits or rather what we believe humanly traits.

They played a lot. Our living room was absolutly empty except few chairs for us to sit on so these 5 just had party time running from here to there. I must say Eli nad Britney were very active and adventurous. Especially Britney wo would jump in the air to catch the ball and even go and sit at our little raised window. While Husky was purely the baby of the party. He was such a gentleman n cute not being agressive with any one of them. He completely loved the attention.

Later i cut the birthday cake which was a special dog birthday cake made at the pet shop which was made of chicken with carrot toping. it was really cute to see them eat in their respective bowls when we gave it to them. And after that i served them vanilla icecream. This was fun while Husky Eli and Brit had their icecream straight from the bowl Tushi and Bullet sat quietly and were fed by spoon, and they ate it just like we would. It was really nice to see them enjoy their eats.

Finally we gave all the four dogs return gifts which were gift rapped. After they went we opened gifts given to Husky. They were nice. Also through out the party we took pictures and video.

All in all it was great fun and some first time experience for all of us.
