It’s been a week since we talked about forming better wellness habits – how y’all doing?
My plan this summer was that each month I would increase my step goal (tracked by Fitbit) by 500 steps. Mostly sedentary and sitting at a desk most of the day, I needed a goal I felt was reasonable; to start off saying I’m going to have 10,000 steps each day was NOT happening. Many people fail because their goals are too ambitious. Baby steps y’all. For real. Get with me.
After reviewing my October goal of 5,000 daily steps, I realized I needed to be more deliberate in trying to make this happen.
I didn’t do terrible, but I distinctly remember some days where I got in the bed knowing I was close, or telling myself I would get up in “just a little bit” to go on and get those last few steps in. Uh-huh. Do you see how many times I got close to 5,000?! On the 14thand 21stI was just over 4900 steps…too close to not go ahead and get it done. Just have to push myself.
It would be easy to say my average step count is more than 5,000 (5,889 to be exact), but I decided not to throw my shoulder out patting myself on the back because that’s not the goal I set.
So…November’s goal is again 5000 steps each day. I need to be more deliberate in my steps and actively work on trying to meet this goal each day, even when I don’t want to.
Slow and steady wins the race…
