the future....

The future depends on what we do in the present. - Mahatma Gandhi

Isn't that the truth.
Here we are trying to make tiny changes to our daily lives in order to have a better future. It is a challenge to eat right and stay active-but each little triumph builds more success

The most difficult part of this lifestyle is dealing with setbacks. How to not give up? I haven't seen the scale change in months. I know that the scale isn't the only indicator of success- but sure would be nice to see it moving. I know I'm much more active than I have been in years. I know I'm making better food choices. I attempted the January challenge-thinking it would be a great motivator-but it turns out-I'm just not that into the video workouts. By the time I've watched the ford commercial I'm ready to move on.
So my future depends on today-guess I'll sort it out tomorrow.

Totally agree with you about the commercials. Now I use that time to tie my sneakers and grab some water. Good luck. Report Inappropriate Comment

new fitbit

Thursday, November 15, 2012

I started using my fitbit today. It's so cool. It syncs with SP. Automatically puts my walking minutes into fitness tracker.

I walked 5763 steps today-about 2.5 miles- I didn't know I walked that much at work.
Of course the goal is 10,000 steps a day-guess I'll have to "step" it up a bit tomorrow.
