A month ago.....
My daughter got a fitbit as a prize for something. I kind of understood how it worked and so I got one for myself. I was a sluggard who had gotten to 240 lbs. Kind of hard for someone whose nickname used to be Skinney. So, a month ago today I got my fitbit and charged it up and started walking. I think it has helped me as a teacher because I make several rounds around the room to get my step count up. I have several things going against me. I have a torn ACL. I have a few herniated discs. This feels good. I got to 5,000 steps within a few days and I held that as my daily goal as I strove to exceed each day's previous step count. I got to 10,000 and kept exceeding my daily goal and got up to 14k, about six miles and then caught a tummy bug. I ended up sleeping through almost 24 hours. That put a dent in my goals. I have to be reasonable. I have to allow for my "advancing years." BUT, after a month, I'm doing interval training and walk in plac
