5/10/13 steps
Well I guess it all depends on how you look at it. If I were to count m steps right up until bed, then I ended up with 12,521. Which would mean I hit my goal. However my fitbit resets at midnight, which means I ran out of time and only got in 12,336 steps. I could have hit my goal before midnight had I not miscalculated and thought my goal was 12,250. Oh well, it is a brand new day!

Re-evaluation
After looking back on my steps for the last month or so I have come to the realization that getting in 10,000 steps a day is not really much of a challenge for me anymore. It is time to kick it up a bit. So today I have reset my goal to 12,500 steps a day.
I should note that that goal is primarily for during the week. I am not running around as much on the weekend so my goal for those days is half of a regular day.
So here's to getting more steps in!

The Grandest Intentions
I did happen to mention I am lazy, right? Ok just making sure. Not that you couldn't tell since it has been SIX MONTHS since my last post. That's not to say that I have done nothing in all that time. Back in January, with some Christmas money, I picked up a Fitbit for myself. Now I do have to say that seeing the number of steps you take a day can be a motivator. When I first got my Fitbit I discovered that I was lucky if I took 2,000 steps a day. Just a smidge below the recommendation of 10,000 steps a day. So for the next couple months I started to push myself, first to get 5,000 a day and then on to 7,500 steps. I admit that I struggled. A lot! Then I started using my breaks and lunch at work to walk. Very quickly my goal was moved to 10,000 a day. After hitting that goal almost every day these last couple I months I see a new goal on the horizon. It is no longer such a struggle to get to 10,000 steps, so in the coming days it will be time to set a new goal. I have impressed even myself! I honestly don't know that I would be doing all this walking now if I had not bought the Fitbit. It has been a great motivator for me. So much so that on those days where I am close I make myself do more to ensure that I hit my goal. But the best days are the ones where I don't even have to try, it just happens!
Now that I am trying to so more, let's hope the blog starts to see more attention too!!

Sugary Saturday
So for the first snacky post of the new year I give you freeze dried fruit! I have recently discovered that i can buy this at my local Target store. It is a good alternative for those you want something sweet. The WHOLE package, for the sliced strawberries, only has 90 calories and 24 carbs. There is no added sugar in this so that makes it a better choice right there. The only ingredient is strawberries. When eating freeze dried fruit you still get most of the benefits of eating fresh fruit. Some nutrients are lost in the process, but not all. And you still get the great strawberry taste, with a nice crunchy texture. So the next time you are craving sweet, pick the freeze dried fruit over the sugar loaded snacks.

A new year
So here it is, the start of another year. Last year I told myself I would do better and blog more, but obviously that did not happen! People think I joke when i say I am like the laziest person ever, but really it is true. That is why I can't seem to blog more. I just can't be bothered to come up with a post. Lately i have been thinking about a lot of changes I need to make in my life and I think this blog could help. So this year one of m goals will be to blog more. I want to start out trying to get in at least one post every couple of weeks. And work my way up! I certainly don't expect to make a lot of changes overnight. It takes time to develop new habits. So I am going to work on it.
I am still coming up with some goals that I want to set for myself. I am more comfortable calling them goals, rather than resolutions mostly because to me resolutions are usually something you don't make happen. Some of my goals are personal, while others are charity based. One of my personal goals is that i need to start checking the fluids in our car more often. I am not good at remembering to do it, so I want to get in the habit of checking things the first of every month. And I can say this month is good! I checked the fluids earlier today and topped off the ones that needed it. Another is to get healthier. I have been trying to eat better, and it is slow going. I also need to get exercising and moving more. In that department i have been seriously failing. I do not plan to jump right in and get to the gym every day or anything. I will work on it more slowly, starting to try to get some exercise in a couple times a week and work my way up to maybe 5 times a week. I know i need to better and I will.
Another thing that I want to start doing this year is to give more. And I plan to start by giving more to the local Humane Society. Once a month I plan to do a bit of shopping and purchase items that they are in need of and donate those items. It is just not people who sometimes need help, but the animals do to. So this year I plan to give more to them and help them out!
Happy New Years!
