When at work, I am constantly walking.
I walk to pick up students from class, then I walk to take them back to class. I walk to get printing from the copy machine from the office, which is across the building. I walk to where I am called when a teacher needs assistance with a student. I walk during recess supervision. When I am at home, I am now sitting. I am sitting while on Zoom meetings. I am sitting while writing reports. I am sitting watching television. I am sitting while playing tug of war with dogs. Yesterday, I was moving all day. I was cleaning EVERYTHING! I almost forgot what it feels like to feel my watch vibrate from meeting my step goal for the day. I thought I got a text, but really I had hit my 11,000 step goal. It has been over a week since that happened. It put a smile on my face. I got to over 12, 000 steps, 12,724 to be exact. Sadly, I was at half of that. Time to aim again tomorrow!

This life we are currently living is definitely a lot less active. Good luck tomorrow!

I've been trying to get outside each day for a walk to meet my step goal. Yesterday, when we got home from the walk I was just a few steps short. I told myself I'd finish my walk inside to reach my goal. We sat down for dinner, then watched a movie and I completely forgot...334 steps short...ugh...I'll make it up today.

I told myself I was going to run...then it rained...then it's cold...I need to move. Being between 4 walls is not my kind of moving. I tried the Wii...then my kids got obsessed and now it's only allowed F, Sat, Sun....one day!

The distance learning includes such an amount of sitting that no one probably imagined was even possible. The bodies are in shock. Good for you to get more than 10,000 steps in a day.

Two walk a day and I am almost hitting my steps each day, but when the rest of the day is spent sitting and snacking I think it is counter productive!
