10,000 steps!

So my goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day. For me, that's about 4 miles.  Today (out of 4 days) I finally reached that goal. Before I got up to 8000 or so... It felt good to reach my goal and I am forcing myself to do it again every day. I stepped it up and after I went to the gym, I took another walk with my hubby. Right as I came home from our walk, my fitbit buzzed and let me know I reached my goal.

I also stepped on the scale tonight (something I never do at night) and surprise surprise.. I was a pound lighter then I was this morning. So I'm going to guess in the morning I'll even be lighter! This is one great motivation for continuing my healthy life style. I just hope I don't plateau any time soon. I know it will come, but please not for a few months!

 On my walk with Hubby, we went to subway. He was hungry. Subway is reasonably healthy (depending on what you get) But as I sat there and watched him order his BBQ pulled pork sub, I noticed myself thinking about all the bad things in his meat. Most of it was ok, but the BBQ sauce. The high fructose syrup. Man I would have never thought of things like this. I've noticed everything Im eating now I look at make sure it has no processed foods or yucky things for your body. And for most people, that doesn't leave much options to eat.  I still have a lot to learn on what foods are good and how to make great meals with the sources I can use. That is another one of my challenges.

Well another goal for today is to go to bed earlier.. So Good night =)

BTW I've now lost  10 lbs.
