A little squee inside
So as I have mentioned before, I am doing a lot more walking now since I bought a fitbit. I walk at work on both breaks and my lunch break. And usually the walking is done inside just up and down the hallway. So I am sure some people think I am weird. As I was just finishing up with my AM break I had someone who I do not know comment to me that all the walking must be paying off because I look like I am losing weight. That just made me feel a little bit happy on the inside!

Carbs vs. Calories
So apparently my body is not a fan of carb counting. I had thought to start doing this as a way to get my diabetes under control. However after trying it for a month or so there was very little change in my blood sugar. So I thought to myself why not switch to calorie counting and see how that goes. Well I forgot to check my blood sugar before I ate, but I did see some change. After counting calories for just one week I dropped two pounds already. And we all know that losing weight helps with controlling the diabetes! So go me!

Getting in those steps
It looks like this is going to be one of those weeks. It is a struggle getting in my steps. let alone hitting my goal. I know part of my problem, other than being lazy, is the heat. I do not tolerate the heat well and it has been almost 90 out every day so far this week. As a kid I used to get really sick when it was too hot out. I have slightly grown out of it, but I still hate it.
It really also doesn't help that not only am I working to get all those duct tape flowers made, but a new exspansion pack for the Sims 3 came out this week. So I am addicted to getting as much game time in as I can! It also doesn't help that neither my husband or I are morning people so we don't end up getting into work until the last possible minute and with our overtime we don't get out until late. It leaves little time to do much of anything else, which is why I am struggling to do everything with limited time.
Like right now i know i will get at least 10,000 steps in today so i am not worried about that. But I am sitting here trying to decide if i want to spend the little time i have tonight making flowers or playing Sims! There needs to be more hours in the day for fun!

Weekend blahs
Well the weekend did not go so well for counting steps. Saturday I just plain forgot to put my fitbit on. Could be because it fell under my bed an I forgot about it. Then Sunday I just didn't do much in the way of walking since I was trying to recover from all the activity of the previous three days. Today is another story. It may be off to a slow start, but I am determined to get back on track.
This next month is going to be crazy. My brother is getting married in a month and I have a lot I duct tape flowers to get making. I have a set schedule for the flowers that I will have to stick to. Plus I have other terms to make as well. It should be interesting to see how well I fit all this extra work in with making sure I get my steps in each day!

Numbers don't lie
It really is amazing to see my progress in terms of numbers. Since I purchased my fitbit on January 6, 3013 I have tracked the following:
Lifetime steps: 879,955
Lifetime distance: 392.47 miles
It is crazy to see those numbers. Especially knowing that they could be much lower if it weren't for my having purchased the fitbit. I never used to take as many steps a day as I do now. Owning the fitbit has really made me more active. I highly recommend it!!
