3 days in hospital, forgot it today, not supposed to do a lot of exercise for a while… not looking good. We’ll see about the exercise, I’ll take it easy for today at least, but they did say I could exercise as long as I was feeling fine, which I am. Definitely not allowed to go swimming though, and I get half my steps from the walk there and back! Weather is finally warming up just a little bit, which will make walking a little more pleasurable.

It was a long weekend for us this weekend, and I don’t have a lot to do at the moment, so I tried to do a 20,000 step walk yesterday. Only got to 15,000, and that took me two and a half hours. Probably could have done more, but I wasn’t in the mood for power walking, so it was more like a wander. On Saturday it snowed. I LOVE the snow. Where I live it snows a maximum of twice a year, so it is a real novelty and not a pain in the butt. I dragged my fiance out for a big walk and then went for another one myself- can’t get enough of how beautiful everything looks in the snow. Late in the afternoon it was raining, and then the next day was really sunny, so there were no icy footpaths to contend with. Perfect!

P.S. I usually round my numbers down to the nearest thousand, just to be sure I’m not overestimating.

Average for the first week- 8,142/day. Want it to be average of 10,000/day.

Got in a few hundred extra steps today…by zoning out and forgetting to press the button for my bus stop :(

Would have been a bit more yesterday- students were watching a video in class, and instead of sitting down I walked around the class the entire time. But I was treading softly so as to be quiet, and it didn’t register :(

How annoying. Between the day I bought it and yesterday, I wore the damn thing every day. Now that the challenge has actually started I keep forgetting it!
