Using a Fitbit and loving it!

1 - 5,344 Drove for about 8 hours with family. Back very sore.
2 - 21,238 Hike with family
3 - 16.615
4 - 18,057
5 - 10,425
6 - 23,409
7 - 15,753
8 - 6,446 Another long drive as vacation comes to an end.
9 - 5,618 Busy with work; body struggling with the 4.5 hour time difference between here and Oregon.
10 - 3,613 Busy with work
11 - 3,502 Feeling lousy
12 - 20,186 Trying to snap out of funk by hitting the gym; hoping it doesn't hit me back…
13 - 3,272 Still not feeling great
14 - 15,166 Feeling much better; go to gym.
15 - 8,000 Went for a long walk and run with dog, then realized I had forgotten to take my Fitbit (pedometer). Grrr!
16 - 13,232 Gym plus playing with my kids
17 - 20,234
18 - 12,404 First day of attempting to meet new goal of 13,000 steps, and already I failed! However, it could have been much worse; as of 8PM I had about 800 steps (yucky weather day) and was feeling pretty useless, so I went to the gym and stayed there 'till I reached 12,000.
19 - 13,008 Another poor day that I attempted to salvage by lots of late night running after I put the kids to bed.
20 - 15,161 Gym, long walk home from gym, errands, playing baseball with my son for 1.5 hours. Feet are sore.
21 - 7,607 Hmm... Not sure what happened... The dog ate my homework?
22 - 14,475
23 - 20,337 trying to make up for the relatively step count on Aug 21. Gym, several hours of baseball with my kids, and a bunch of errands.
24 - 14,423 Gym plus errands
25 - 14,255 Baseball, running, walking, shopping…
26 - 17,511 Ran for 60 minutes with no stops (for the first time in my entire life!), plus other gym stuff and life stuff.
27 - 15,115 Yet another day in which I didn't get many steps until after 8PM, at which point I went on a 2.5 hour walking/running tour of this city…

Average: 13,200
Total: 356,389

Goal: Didn't start out with one; generally, it's a minimum of 10,000 per day, but that got messed up a bit with all the travel and the funk I was in for a few days.

New Goals (as of Aug. 18):
400,000 steps for August.
Daily minimum for remaining days: 13,000 steps.
Bring daily average for the entire month up from 11,806 on 13 Aug to at least 13,000

I'm looking for consistancy this month.
