Today marks my seventh day in a row of hitting my step goal of 10,000 steps! My S-Health graph looks so pretty with all those gold medals, doesn’t it? I’m feeling pretty good about this and considering that in the past several months I’ve averaged closer to 5000 steps a day, it’s definitely a step in the right direction. I’ve also slowly started adding in some strength training – just some free weights and some push-ups, but it’s a start and in about another week I think I’ll be ready to really focus on that. I just have to really have the step thing to become routine first.

Overall, I feel like I’m on my way to a truly healthy lifestyle change. I’ve switched to having hot water in place of most of my daily coffee (just a couple of lattes a week now), I’m getting this step thing going (I want to up my daily step goal eventually, but I’m definitely getting the 10,000 for now), and I’m even starting to run again.

It isn’t easy to make lifestyle changes that will stick – but I’m going to keep working hard at it!
