Hi very understanding friends :)
OK, so before you start giving me high fives for starting this new challenge, I need to make an amendment. I tried. Today I tried to get more steps in. I walked to and from work. That is only 1/2 mile total. My job, luckily isn't a sit down job. I am on my feet all day, unfortunately I stand in one place when I am grooming the dogs. It is 5:45, I just got home from work, and I am only at 3,898 steps. I have no energy to get over 4,000 steps in before I go to sleep tonight. I probably could go to the gym, or go for a walk, but I need to make dinner, and I forgot how much walking hurts my knee. I know, excuses, excuses. But honestly...... Anyway, my amendment for my challenge is to walk to and from work every day this week and next week. That in itself is a big deal for someone who dislikes walking, trust me. So, instead of posting pictures of my fitbit, I will post some fun pictures of my walks, so you will know that I am not being lazy :) I do feel like I've failed already, but I need to be happy with my challenge, or I wont do anything at all. I was all ready yesterday to do this until I realized how much time was involved in getting those 8,000 steps in. Lori=Baby! I know, but I think this is a good compromise for me.
Thanks for understanding :)

A challenge is only any good if it motivates you and works for you, so great job making modifications to keep at it and make it work for you! I am with you on not enjoying walks or workouts, but I am hoping that will change as I lose weight and get more fit.
ReplyDeleteAwwww so cute! I think your new goal is a great one! Making small changes is more effective in the long run. I think it's great that you've found a way to be more active...you can always add more ways later on!
