In my book I encourage people to get up, get out and get active. I suggest using a step tracker of some sort to actually see how active (or inactive) you are on a daily basis.
I use the FitBit. There are many trackers out there, but I love that it tracks my heart rate, my steps and my sleep (which certainly lacks) among other things.
This year my totals were emailed to me and after seeing them – I was exhausted. My goal is 10,000 steps per day. Let’s just say I’m more apt to reach and/or surpass those goals in the summer (i.e. nice weather) vs. rainy wintry days. Still, when you see the grand total, it kinda takes your breath away.
Amongst my goal oriented friends who are in my “group”, I’m usually right in the middle in the number of steps per day. Not really a competition . . . but then again.
The (constant) leader is a “runner” and since she normally runs five miles a day I am NEVER going to beat her. (on the few weeks where I have surpassed her, I’ve emailed her to find out if she broke both feet – she is THAT dedicated).
Why I ever accepted her “friend” request via FitBit is beyond me. WTH was I thinking??
So, here’s how I did in 2017:
2,832,537 steps or,
1,236 miles
435,203 calories burned
So why are my jeans so tight, SIGH????
