I’ve been told that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step though perhaps it is more meaningful to say that such a journey ends with a final minor movement. Today I’m focusing on the quarter of the self that I tend to ignore the most- the body- because perhaps imbalances there bring discomfort in the heart, the mind, and the soul.
So to combat my recent fatigue levels and weight gain (I blame SanityFound for talking too much about cookies) I have purchased a pedometer. Also, I recently discovered that they now make the Baby Ruth in Ice Cream Cone form. My chances of success may be summed up in this strip from Indexed:
The idea is by taking those 10,000 steps every day I will energize myself in other parts of my life too- to write more and maybe even to blog here more often! I know I’ve been getting more done though for today my pedometer currently reads 2,684. That isn’t much progress but I guess it is a start.

well it is a quarter of the way to 10,000.
I walk everywhere and I have no idea how many steps I take. You may want to add running to your schedule, even if only once a week. The elevation of heart rate and stimulation of muscles will help cut the fat. Walking quickly becomes a weight control, not loss, program.

Well, I only hit 6000 steps but I guess that is progress. Thanks for the support and I’m glad you haven’t forgotten about my little blog.
