On July 3 I began keeping a record of the number of steps/miles I walked in a year. At the end of the year I want to plan a trip to somewhere that's the equivalent distance from home that I have walked. (You can see my daily, monthly, and year-to-date totals on the left side of my blog.)
August 2009: 201,859 steps = 96.88 miles
Year-To-Date: 556,789 steps = 249.36 miles
WOW!
I wasn't as diligent with wearing my pedometer during August as in July (shame on me); I also wasn't as diligent with going to the gym during August. There were distractions during the month (yes, I realize that's an excuse and not a reason). September has turned over a new leaf, though. Where I haven't been to the gym but a couple of times this month thus far, I've worn the pedometer every day but one! (That shows ones area of improvement at least!)
Can you believe that year-to-date total? Just think what it could be if I'd been faithful to my pedometer! Follow my steps - join me! Let's take a trip next year!
I need to start keeping mine again.... I have lost 9 lbs though....so I am feeling so much these days!
