My goal is to take 10,000 steps every day. Until recently, I could count on one hand how many times I reached that goal. This week, I reached it twice. One day, I looked at my fitbit and saw that I had 8652 steps in so far. It was only 6:00 pm, so I got to moving again. My husband and I were watching a movie when I noticed my watch. I jumped up and started waking in place. I tried jogging, but I did not have the support system under my pjs to allow that madness to happen. I walked from the bathroom and around the bed, checking my watch every few steps to make sure each and every one was registering! After a while, I gave up and climbed back in bed. 9520. WHAT?! I’ve got to do this!
I walked downstairs and started taking laps from the steps, through the kitchen, through the living room and around and around. My daughter, who was washing dishes, stared at me. “Mom, WHAT are you doing?!” I said, “I’m almost at my step goal and I want to reach 10,000!” I climbed the stairs, which should count for a few steps each, in my opinion, and returned to my room. 9890.
Come on, Jenn! You’ve got this. I moved, jumped (ouch) and pumped my arms as I walked around the bed. Finally, I felt the glorious buzz on my wrist. I had reached 10,000 steps! I took another shower and went back to bed.
