Walking walking keep on walking...
I know I haven't checked in for a while, but I am still checking on all of you. I started wearing a pedometer today and I'm hoping that keeping track of my activity here, rather than FaceBook, will also lead to posting about other things. I'm using the handy app I recently downloaded to my iPhone for this, so I also won't need to be near a computer to post!
Anyway, today, just going about my business and, getting to and from work, cooking dinner and doing some other stuff around the house, plus a little extra moving around, especially dancing, gave me a total of 3.5 miles! It's a start. I don't just want to know how active I am on gym days--I'd like to know this everyday, and now I can. Plus, I already feel more motivated to get up and move knowing my total will be higher if I do. Sometimes it helps to be so competitive--with myself! Lol.
Another thing I've discovered is that by choosing the "Van Morrison" station on Pandora, I get a lot of music I didn't even realize I liked so much. A lot of it is from when I was about 6-12 years old, not when I was a teenager. OTOH, I listened to the music my older siblings listened to at that time, and they were 12, 15, 18 and 21 when I was 6, and this is what I heard a lot of at that time. It clearly left an impression! And a lot of it was still very popular when I was in high school. (Are there any other songs as long as American Pie? I'm doubtful.)
So tomorrow I'll be doing some more walking, walking, walking...
