    Started out Sunday all gung ho to get these steps in daily. Finding out today, old habits die hard. I keep finding myself sitting more today. Trying to keep motivated.

    Understand completely
    Get up right now and take a few steps in place. Just move. You will feel better.
    Small baby steps

    Just walk 5-10 minutes at a time...I found I can do anything for 5-10 minutes at a time. When I first started and I found myself not moving enough, I started with walking during commercials on TV cuz guaranteed that's what I was doing...watching TV. Set a timer if necessary...even if only for 5 minutes...it really helps me stay motivated.

    Something else I use is beans. Just plain, old, ordinary beans! I have 5 of them in plain sight and after each 'timed' walk, I move one over until I have all 5 moved. Then I start all over again.

    Ended up with 13,904 today. Thanks to everyone for the support today. I think I was tired out today for some reason. I ended up going for a short walk and push mowing part of lawn, so I definitely got some exercise. Ready for bed. :)

    Today I managed 15,256.

    Very happy with this figure because earlier today I thought I wasn't going to find time to do a walk and I would've been way under. Some plans changed in my favour so I went out to make the most of today's sunny UK weather.

    20,267 steps

    So struggled to get my morning step routine done...was really tired and just didn't want to do it...but persevered and ended up with more steps than I've done in a while. Whew! What a day...so busy but happy with the results!

    Btw, I post a day 'late' as I wait til morning to log everything in. That's why I put the date on my posts.
