Get to Steppin'

At work there's this new program called HealthMiles. And I love it.

We got these pedometers, and I'm working mine out. I have found that if you shake your hips Shakira-style, that little counter gets to jumpin', jumpin'.

All the activity that I do, from regular walking to exercising and "weighing in" at HR, gets recorded, and I get points for each thing. After so many points, I will start accumluating money toward gift cards of my choice (to places like Target and Amazon).

Just wait 'til it gets warm outside. This pedometer will be in for the ride of its life.

  1. Wow!! Look at all those points!! Looks like you're off to a great start. Can't wait to see it climb when it gets warmer :) ohhh how I long for sunshine and warmth!

    And yes, I may start saving up for one of those bags. You're right, just one though. Two would definitely break the bank ;) We can't have that now can we??

  3. That is such a great idea; I often wonder how many steps I take a day to and from the water cooler... are you finding you take more or less than you thought?

  4. Right now I'm taking more than I thought because I'm making a conscious effort to pump up the jamz. (Yes, jamz.) My job is pretty chair-friendly, though, so it's important to try to move around a bit when possible.
