walk more

I used my pedometer 3 times this week. In the first day, I made 3997 steps. In the second, 4756. And yesterday, 7003. Yeah, I had a crazy day!!
I think I’ll check again my step counts this week and decide about my goals. I think maybe it’s better to have a week goal, not a daily goal.

I got my pedometer last week and I’ve already learned how to use it. As Carm and Google said, the recommended is walk 10,000 steps a day.
This week I’ll check how many steps a day I get during my work days and see the avarage next week. I’ll add 500 steps every week as my goal until I get the 10,000 a day and try to be a healthier person (and, yeah, get rid of my extra kilos).

Without classes on college (just a final exam this Friday), I could walk in the streets after work some days in this week. I could listen some music and think about some ideas to the next semester. I could see it’s a great moment to have myself as a company :)

Last week I began my new job. I passes all the days walking from 7h30 to 14h30. Unbelievable! I was always wet in the middle of afternoon. It seems most of my days will be like this and I’m enjoying this idea as I always said I didn’t walk regularly becausa I had no time.

I really have to searching for my pedometer. I’m thinking about make some goals and have extra walking on weekend and free night to add to this office days.

Does someone know any mobile software?

On my interview, my manager told me I’ll have to walk a lot during this job and asked if it would be a problem do me. I answered it’d be great, as I’m always complaining I don’t have enough free time to do it as I’d like. I can work and exercise in the same time.

And, wow, I’m there and my first day will be at this Tuesday. Let´s see how I’ll be there in this new beginning. Thinking about get a pedometer to this…

Today is a good day to begin a new big challenge. I’ve just printed a walk table and I’ll write everyday how much time I’ve spent walking and how many turns I made in my street (it’s circular). I think it’s a good way to measure my velocity and I hope I can increase it week by week. I didn’t make a goal about it, I’ll watch me during the first week and see how I am. I think I can complete 2 ou 3 months on this personal program in a great way before start to pay a gym school.

It’s hard to win this sedentarim problem. Some years ago, I used to be so athletic. In high school, I danced and swan. After, I was always in the gym before college classes. But there are years I don’t do a activity in a regular basis.
I started to walk. Sometimes alone, sometimes with one of my brother, in the weekends with my boyfriend. But it’s hard to make this become a habit. I’m always looking for excuses to don’t do it. Well, today I have to study and it’s rainning, I know, but I’d like to make this walk thing become a obrigatory thing that I don’t even think about take it to another time.
To get some motivation, I bought some clothes and cleaned all my tennis. My brothers prepared some dance songs in their ipod and borrow it to me. I didn’t lose more weight in the last time, coz I can’t eat less (everyone here know I’m a very foody person), so the way is exercise. And I think walk is a great new beginning.
