Upping my Step Count!

One of the things I need to do on my journey is get more active.  So to get this going I have decided to up my step count.  I have a very stationary job so doing this is not as easy as you would think.  So to help me out I have placed a bet on it.  This is my first journey with StepBet.  I know it will not be easy but I need something to motivate me do making the effort to go and workout after work. 


My first journey in StepBet has not given me too hard of goals but I will admit that it is going to be harder than I originally thought since just this week (which was a warm up week no one looses the bet) I have not been hitting the mark much.  My goals for the week are pretty easy if I was more active at work I think, but I am ready for the challenge next week.

Active Goal: 7,389 Steps
Stretch Goal: 9,422 Steps

Not really high but with a desk job, I do not spend all day walking around during the day at work.  So I have been trying to find ways to get more steps in at work so that my after work steps can really help with hitting those stretch day goals.

Now if you have never done a StepBet here is how your weekly goals look.

You have to hit your Active Goal 4 days of the week.  Then on an additional 2 days you need to work towards your Stretch Goal.  Not to hard you would think but this week has been my learning curve week.  I am going to have to find more to do to keep me busy and keep my steps coming.


I know this is going to be the hardest part of my goal this year.  I have a lot of weight to lose and a lot of bad habits to cut to help me reach my goal.  The Steps are little towards getting to my goal but you have to start somewhere.  So I figure with the saying "One Step at a Time" it would be a good place to start.

Welcome

With having gone back to school this past year I have looked at other things that I need and want to do.  So I started making a list. Wow was there a lot. Some of them were needs: lose weight, finish school, give up sodas, etc. While others were wants: visit Europe, go to Disneyland, fall in love, etc. As you can see I have somethings that I want to do, but I also have things that I need to do.  So here I am inviting you on my journey. My journey to healthy living. My journey to fun and adventure. And even a little journey in story telling. While I am starting this new journey with my number 1 on my list, my need to lose weight I am going to reward myself with some of my wants as time goes on. I am also open to suggestions for things to try as a reward as well as things to try to help achieve my goals. My name is Samantha and I am over 30 years old.  I am overweight, which I think holds me back.  I am not very outgoing (something I wish to cha...
