The only day I've ever hit over 50k steps (I think it was close to 55k) was when I ran a marathon in Vegas, and the race was in the evening.

I think this dude is hoodwinking us.
Pretty obvious to the normals that the guy casually threw out some arbitrary numbers. It’s not that serious CP.

Been two months and the vein they pulled out of my leg still throbs and hurts. Doesn’t even look bad but man it’s annoying at night. Had my chest sawed open and that’s fine but my Lameass leg hurts like a beotch.

Sounds like someone’s not doing their 50,000 steps a day.

Maybe doing the 50 is what caused it.

I ran a 50k once and was right around 70,000. That’s a one time thing, and you’re not just doing that regularly. Or at least I’m sure as hell not.

50,000 steps a day...holy crap. I need Samuel L. Jackson's voice on my fit bit.

"Motherf###a! Move!!"

I remember one time my Doctor told me that the sedentary life-style of office work was bad for my health.

"Really bud? No kidding? Sitting all day isn't good for me? Well why didn't someone say so?"

Yeah man. I know that. But its a fact of life.

I just spent the afternoon sharpening my knives, and I apparently also have almost 10,000 steps today. I have not, in fact, taken 10,000 steps today.

I was fueling my torches for the imminently upcoming riot and I still didn't get 10,000 steps.

Meanwhile, she had left work early while all her colleagues were still working (that never feels good), picked the kids up, got them ready and into the pool, then had to continue working from her phone. And this POS had the audacity to insinuate she wasn't a good enough mom because she wasn't mindlessly watching the kids splash around.

Your post reminded me of how upset she was when she came home.

My wife had a good excuse for not watching the kids through the glass from one story above the pool in this scenario, but even so, watching little kids do banal things isn't everyone's cup of tea...especially when you live it 24/7 with them. I always viewed those activities as a bought-and-paid-for break for myself.
I'm always the one taking my daughters to classes, be it swimming, taekwondo, gymnastics, etc. When they first start a class I always watch, and I enjoy seeing them try something new. But there's only so many times you can watch the same exercises before you start to tune out. And my eldest daughter's gymnastics class is an hour and 45 minutes long, and most of that is performing the same drills over and over to build up their muscle memory. I don't think it makes me a bad parent to use that time to catch up on some reading

I'm not sure how fueling your torches would increase your step count. Sharpening knives is apparently enoguh to trick the Fitbit.

I had to go to the shed and back so many times! I was sure I'd get those steps!

Before dismissing his claim, has anyone verified that Keratosis isn’t actually a member of the Proclaimers?

I’m sure he’ll respond to this when he’s back from his daily 12 hour walk.

Man shopping for a bike on kijiji/facebook right now. How in the actual **** do half the ads not have any sizing listed? "I have a bike for sale in good condition". Like what the **** do you think the next question is going to be you dummies.

etiquette goes both ways. Everyone and their dog has etiquette rants about buyers, but somehow sellers escape the same scorn and ridicule. Rule number one - you're offering something where size matters....don't make me ****ing message for said size. Like **** off.

Who posts clothing, bikes, skates anything with size variance and goes "selling a hybrid bike, used two years, in great shape" and thinks to their stupid, simple self "there, i nailed that listing, viewers have everything they need"?
