Are You Moving?

Hey pedometer buddies how is it going? It was a slow start for me because of all of the flooding. I did manage to cover some territory while away at my conference. I am finding that 5,000 steps is normal for me, 8,000 is doable if Keegan and I take our walks, but 10,000 is still elusive. If I had time to walk that much I'd have time to fit in a workout. Dare to dream, hopefully in the near future. Jeff and I have this whole fantasy schedule of how we'll both get to workout. But we have 6 1/2 more weeks of walking to do if you're in this with me. I am sure that will inspire me. Like Erika said to me sometimes just wearing the pedometer is enough to get you to park a little farther out. It is nice to see all the chasing of Keegan and doing chores and errands pays off. I have almost gotten used to the clicking sound when I move.

It is going well! I've been amazed how easy it is to get in 10000 steps! The easiest days are when I'm on the elliptical for 30 min in the morning, but an evening of shopping pushed me to 18k! Bad bit is that my pedometer is broken, so I'm using a cruddy one I got fro McDonald's, which doesn't work so well. I'm going to buy a new one this weekend. I think my nervous energy pays off on this one ... I can't sit at my desk for long and so I take little detours to add to my steps... Good luck!

I was so glad when you shared the information on the women's challenge. I have been wearing mine and doing well. I definitely think that it has helped me move a little more than I would have normally.
