Step counter is helping

Well I must say that wearing a step counter every day (see my January 23 post regarding SportBrain) is making me more active. In my quest to walk at least 10,000 steps per day I have begun looking for ways to incorporate more steps into my daily routine. This is especially important now that I'm working from home.

I've walked to the post office twice this week--I hadn't realized it was so close! Only 10 minutes of walking and just 1200 steps. I was disappointed! I can pick up another 2500 steps at the grocery store if I walk up and down every aisle twice. Then there are my Walk Away the Pounds DVDs, for those days that I can't face the treadmill and the weather is too nasty to get out. My friend Sherri and I have been mall walking too...which is getting a little expensive. ;-)

And we've signed up for the March of Dimes WalkAmerica on April 21. We'll get our steps and raise funds to help premature babies through the March of Dimes! I'm looking for sponsors, so if you'd like to donate to the March of Dimes please follow the link above.
