YESTERDAY'S STATS

I work a desk job M-F & take hourly stairs breaks (3 floors). My goal is average 12,000 steps / day. I'm a walker, not a runner. Next race 6/9/18 10K. Workplace Step Challenge 4/16 - 8/31 & prizes at halfway point + end for top 30 women = I want a prize!

Hey, ANY step total laps couch potatoes many times over! And you can set your personal step goal under the 10K if you are just starting out ... if you find your numbers improving as the month rolls along, by all means see about "making them up" but better to do SOME than over-do and end up doing NONE for a time.
Whatever suits your current ability.3 -

Doing a weekend step challenge, so a good day yesterday. Will be hard to get them all in today, due to the need to spend a few hours working at the computer, and attending a course, but will do my best!

This year I committed to making healthier decisions. I have been pretty consistent with food choices & eating better, but not the best at consistency with exercise. However this week, I committed to ensuring I take a Morning Walk everyday (except for Thursday due to an appointment I had which took quite a while). I am also committed to trying to incorporating other workouts as well & hopefully will be able to successfully join a gym this month, so that I can start taking group classes to not only get a workout in, but also meet new people who will hold me accountable & encourage me to remain consistent on this Health and Wellness Jounrey!!
I did achieve over 10,000 steps yesterday!! I would honestly like to hit 10K & above everyday, or at least every other day (at minimum).
