10,000 Steps

Many of you have heard about the 10,000 step programs, as I've mentioned before it's my goal to increase the number of steps that I take daily.

I've gotten close on numerous occassions, but seem to hang around that 4,900 to 7,500 mark. I try and move around a lot more during my work day, but most of the time it's just not enough. It definately sounds easy to accomplish, but I find that I really have to work at it.

Over the past few days I've been able to surprise myself, I've hit 9,221, (then the next was only 4712), then I hit 11921. I was so excited, but then the next day, I actually hit 17104! (No wonder I was tired when I got home). But I've noticed that for the most part I am staying closer to the 7,500 and up mark.

One of the great things that I've noticed, it's also helping to improve my blood pressure readings:
