It’s the middle of January already. As I mentioned in a previous blog, this is a hectic month at work. It seems I do little more than work and sleep. Despite the madness, I’m steppin’. How do I get it done? I just do because I’m a stepper and you know you’re a stepper when:
You wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is reach over to your nightstand and grab your pedometer and then your glasses.
You know you’re a stepper when you walk to the gym to work out. 
You know you’re a stepper when you don’t care how you look dancing at the bus stop while waiting to be picked up.
You know you’re a stepper when you go on break at work and you walk instead of sit.
You know you’re a stepper when it doesn’t feel natural not to walk.
What about you? You know you’re a stepper when…..
We started our Walkingspree program in October 2011 and this month I realized I am a stepper because I have taken numerous walks in the windy, blustery snow on our breaks at work. Before Walkingspree I would have looked outside and said no way am I going out in that weather for 15 minutes just to get a few steps!
I know I am a stepper when… I am dancing to commercials while getting ready for work!! I started walking before the holidays! I managed to lose weight and I feel great. I have not had this much energy in a long time!!
I know I am a stepper when…..I complete 3 to 4 thousand steps at lunch!!!
I know I’m a stepper my first two days and I’ve stepped over 13,300 steps and loving it I walk at work on breaks and lunch at home I love it!!!
My Goal is 10,000 steps a day to a healthy heart and life!
