Blog Challenge Day 9

Something you're proud of in the past few days

Now this is tough. The past few weeks or months, sure there are things to be proud of, but these past few days? Hmm... Well I don't have anything grand but I sure do have blessings to be thankful for. Let me cite one different/unique thing this time:

Not my Step Counter. But this is what I look at everyday.

12K++ steps! There were at least two days a week ago when I managed to consciously reach 12K+ steps with the other five days ranging between 3,000-10,000 steps. One particular day's count presented 12,673 steps more or less c/o my Nokia Step Counter pedometer application.

How is this important? A fitness website states that in order to keep one's fitness level, one must have at least 10,000 steps in one day. For a woman to lose weight, she needs to reach at least 12,000 steps. Imagine how much of a stretch these are if we're to think that on average, we only reach 3,000-5,000 steps daily. So for me, being able to count my number of steps is motivating. It lets me realize that I can't really cheat on my areas for improvement.
