Today was an exhausting day at work. The day just couldn't end soon enough for me.
My goal for exercise today was to get in 10,000 steps. For those of you that don't know, I changed jobs last year. I am not working on the floor as a CNA anymore but now as a Monitor Tech/Unit Secretary for the same department I was working for (I'm forced to stay at my desk unless I can find someone to cover me). I stare at heart rhythmns all day looking for changes (I work on a critical care unit) and entering doctor's orders on the computer.
As a CNA I was on my feet for a minimum of 10 hours and on an average day walked 14k-16k (6.6-7.5 miles) steps. The job I have now is pretty sedentary. I sit for the majority of the day, so getting in 10k steps on a work day seemed like a good challenge to me. It sure was!
I didn't quite make 10k steps, but I got close. 9322 steps (4.41 miles). Not bad for sitting on my butt all day at work. I did walk a lot more today than I usually do. I wore my pedometer to work last week and barely hit 3200 steps. Not bad at all :).
I'm ready to go to bed. I'll be up and ready to do EA Sports Active first thing in the am.
Have a good night!
I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength! (Phil 4:13)

I started wearing a pedometer two weeks ago. If I am home taking care of life, I average 3500 steps (not enough). Since my goal is over 10,000 each day, I've been hitting the gym every day. The funny thing? Running 2+ miles doesn't get me 10000 steps, even though my calibration is for 2 feet per step...weird, isn't it?
