Pedometers and 15,000 steps

I bought a pedometer 5 weeks ago and began a new journey. Over the winter I became lazy, eating whatever I want and not exercising. I am disappointed with myself for falling into this slump.

So, I took my measurements, weighed myself, and got walking. I began with taking my first 3 days and taking the average from that. It was about 8,000 steps. I began by increasing my steps immediately. I also changed what I eat and when I eat it.

I am 5 weeks in now and I have increased my steps to 15,000+ steps. My goal is to increase my steps, continue to eat healthy, and not relapse over the fall and winter.

At the end of summer I will weigh in and take my measurements again and hopefully see improvements.

Good luck to those out there trying too!
