can I interrupt to ask how long or how much you guys are doing to get in over 20k per day?
I only ask because I feel like I am getting a lot of walking in- 2x 45 minute walks only amounts to a daily total of about 15k...
how much longer are you guys walking or do you have really active jobs that have you on your feet all the time?
I have a fitbit one and I know it is giving me "steps" for bumpy drives into town, etc.
I'd love to get in more steps so I can eat more calories, lol...0 -

I go to bed early and don't waste time at night watching TV......then I can get up really early and walk my dogs for as much as two hours before I even shower and get dressed to go to the things I do during the day. I meet my friends for walks not for meals or coffee. I am always on the lookout for opportunities to be active....and I don't work a full time job so I have more time for walking.0 -

Sorry, I fell a little behind with the updating. I had a busy few days and got a bit sick, so I wasn't on my computer much. (I was either sleeping, working, or walking, lol.)
lamlam, glad to see your new fitbit is working!
bennettinfinity, looks like you're managing to balance life and a healthy lifestyle after all.
mlh612, sorry to hear about the migraine. Hope you are feeling much better! Like dancing said, you still got an awesome number of steps in!
soulshine23, partly it's about mentality, and partly it's about the life that you lead. Like barbiecat, I go to bed early and get up early to be sure that I get exercise in and don't have an excuse to not do it later (or get interrupted by other commitments). I get up (really very) early, usually do a circuit-training DVD, and then walk or run for 35-50 minutes. I walk 15-20 minutes to and at the bus stop and get off at the further-away bus stop to walk to work. I often have meetings that are in different buildings, so I walk to them. I walk to the far-away bathroom and back. I walk around the office while eating my food. I walk around the kitchen while my tea steeps. I walk in place or in loops around the room while watching movies/tv/ or while reading for an hour or so in the evening. I walk/pace while talking on the phone.... These days, I try not to spend too much uninterrupted time sitting down (i.e. get up at least every hour or hour and a half for a few minutes), but sometimes I'm stuck in a three-hour meeting with no opportunity to walk around. When I see a number on my fitbit that ends in 700 or higher, I'll almost always walk the extra couple minutes to get to the new thousand.
Since I got the fitbit, I've definitely had a perceptible shift in ways to be active, and I've stopped dividing so much between "exercise" and "the rest of my life". (In other words, the fitbit has made me more active in every aspect of my life, and I continue with the "actual" exercise as well.) So ... that was probably more info than you really wanted to know, lol. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. (As you can tell, I'll go on and on about it.)0 -
