10,000 Steps

It’s almost spring ….do you know what that means?  Yep, time to prep for the summer!! One thing I have always struggled with is my weight.  I’ve tried everything…crash diets, juicing, green smoothies, not eating, exercising (periodically) LOL.  I have always wanted the results without giving the dedication needed to obtain them, which leads to my current dilemma (my weight gain). I’m always up for a good challenge…which leads me to my new self-assessment and research.  It is time to make a change and I’m willing to try multiple things until I find what works best for me. My next trial run is setting a goal to incorporate 10,000 steps a day in my daily routine.

10,000 steps is equivalent to 5 miles. I want to accomplish this goal at all cost so my plan is to use my 15 minute breaks to walk and I also plan to march in place while brushing my teeth or cooking if it’s going to help me reach my goal LOL! I purchased a new toy to help track my steps, activity level and sleeping habits.
