We all know exercise is essential, but I have a tendency of being an "all or nothing" kind of girl. So, instead of sensibly starting an exercise regimen, I jump in thinking it's a good idea to start immediately training to run a 5k... when it would probably take me an hour to walk 5k.
So, this time, the goal is different. 10,000 steps. 10,000 no matter how I get them. If I leave work and the trusty ol' pedometer says 7,000, it's off to the treadmill I go. 11,000? I'm done for the day. That's the plan.
Yesterday was day 1 and I logged over 12,000. Started off today with a 30 minute stroll on the treadmill. Today, the treadmill about bored me to tears. I think it's because I was hoping to walk outside but it was still dark and super wet and rainy, so I was stuck in the apartment complex gym where all the TVs were not working so I just had a staring contest with the monitor... 25:49 to go... 25:48... oh I'm driving myself crazy, stop looking for five minutes... 25:01... Note to self - bring a hand towel tomorrow to cover the clock. And a book.
