Day 18-- Staying Motivated

Day 18
10,706 steps

I have been obsessed with walking since starting this blog. It has become a fixed idea. Every morning I look at my schedule and wonder if I can add an hour of walking. Today I completed 75 minutes of aerobic walking (8,545 steps), the equivalent of over 4 miles of brisk walking. I am not able to do that every day. I have made an hour of aerobic walking my baseline, my daily goal. That's an obsession, but a healthy one. I get slightly disappointed if my day does not allow for walking--.

The pedometer does wonders as a motivational tool. I guess we human beings like statistical feedback as a way to organize our behavior. The knowledge of how far I walk and how long it took--helps me continue with my walking obsession.
