10,000 baby!

One of the things that my dietitian wanted me to do along with the dieting is move more. She said to try and get in 10,000 steps a day. That has been very hard. At first I was averaging about 3,000-4,000 a day. Slowly it upped to 5,000. As I've lost weight & changed my eating habits, I've been feeling better. More energy, easier movement, & the desire to do more. So for the last week or I've been averaging around 8,000. A few days I've actually made it to 9,000 but just couldn't hit that elusive 10,000. I'm proud to say that last night I did it! I hit 10,000. This is a fantastic start to the weekend. I now have to find a way to keep myself busy to get that many this weekend. It's actually easier for me during the work week as I walk 2-3 times during my breaks, as well as walking to and from my car. Now without the scheduled walks, I have to make sure I don't get lazy. We are planning on heading to the park in about a half hour. The morning is starting well. I had a yummy fulfilling breakfast of 2 Everything Bagel Thins w/whipped Greek yogurt & cream cheese and a glass of skim milk. I am soooooooo full. Yay! Here's to hoping for a very step filled weekend.
