The awesome pedometer reads: 10133 steps (7045 aerobic steps for 76 minutes), 3.99 mi., 294 calories Other aerobic activities: Cheryl Burke's Disco Abs - Boogie Oogie Buns and Thighs (20 minutes) I've been sleeping 7 hours every day for the last 2 days, but I'm not feeling well-rested. I'm even more concerned about my sleep because of how it affects weight . I know I've been eating erratic amounts of food every day. My sleep patterns are off the wall, too. I would like to sleep like an Olympian . Despite the increase of energy consumption from bumping the thermostat to the high 70s, cooler temps should do wonders for my sleep.

Nope, 8 different attempts with 2 different browsers did not work. Facebook showed that I have the application, but every time I try to log some points, it'll lead me back to the form to start earning poin...
