Oops! I didn't realize it had been so long since I had been on to update. This week has been very busy, but I am proud to say that I made it to 8,000 each day this week!!!!! Whew! As my little ladies would say, "That's a victory!".

It's almost the end of February and time to set another goal. Since I didn't do so well this month, I think it will be a small increase. I don't feel like I have really made taking 8,000 steps a habit and need to continue trying. So, my goal will either be to increase my water by 2 cups a day or my steps by just 1,000. I haven't decided yet and think I will let my girls vote again. :)

I have found that it is easier to just worry about increasing my steps and not finding time to exercise. Instead of working to find 30 minutes to exercise, I take 5 minutes here or there and jog in place. I know it would be better to have time set aside to walk or run, but I will work on that. It is neat to see my step count rise just be adding these spurts of exercise.

How are you doing? Have you learned anything from your goal setting? I would love it if you would share. I need all the inspiration I can get!!

Sadly, I must confess that this week has not been a good one in the area of increasing my steps.  I have had the worst sinus infection that I have had in a long time and pretty much came home and went to bed every day this week.  I averaged between 5,000-6,000 steps each day, but never made it to 8,0000.  Oh well, next week will be new and fresh and, hopefully, I will be feeling like new since I finally gave in and got some medicine. Here's to a new week!

Wow!  My little ladies are tough.  I had them vote yesterday on my goal for  February-they decided that I need to increase my steps to 8,000. :)  So...I'm keeping the water drinking goal (32oz) and increasing my steps to 8,000-during the week. I'm still not quite up to that on the weekend, but 5 days a week I will be taking 8,000 steps.  Today was day1 and I finally made it to 8,000 about 6:00pm.  I am trying to get all of my steps in my six-thirty because Vicki told me that you need to excercise at least 3 hours before bedtime so it doesn't keep you up.  My bedtime is between 9:00-9:30 (ideally), so 6:30 is my cut-off time.  Stay tuned and I'll let you know how I'm doing.....
