Steppin'

I read somewhere that the average number of steps one takes is around 10,000 steps.

I got a little curious and thought it'd be neat to see how many steps I put in per day. I picked up a nifty little pedometer at Target to get me started. I know it isn't top of the line, but I just wanted to get an idea as to where I am .
I figure I can use this as a little motivational tool...you know, try to outdo my steps from the day before and everything. So, how many steps do you think I'll clock tomorrow??

I have returned.

I took a hiatus from blogging for a bit. Okay, it was more of an extended vacation, but I am back...I hope for the long haul, and I plan to stick with it.

I know that going at this weight loss thing on my own just doesn't work for me. I've been overwhelmed with work, school, and just life in general and I am barely keeping my head above water. I've realized that I need to have outside support and influences to keep my motivation going...at least for now.
I've recommitted myself to following my exercise/eating/supplement guidelines in hopes of seeing a better result. Now I've just GOT to stick to it. I might need some support...help me, won't you? ☺

Hi, I am a major procrasinator

This was SO my workout yesterday!!! I've been working every day in my time between work and school, but yesterday was a school holiday so I kept going back and forth as to whether or not it should constitute a work out day as well.

Slacker, I know!
After putting it off for as long as I could, I finally gave in and went to the gym. It was pretty late and I was quite the tired, so I did only 20 minutes of cardio and spent about the same on weights and then I was out of there.
Yes, it could have been a more intense workout, but I am just concentrating on the fact that I showed up and put in a little effort. Right now, I get points for that...I won't be too hard on myself in the beginning. It's just important that I am developing a schedule for right now...I will concentrate on the details once I have the schedule down.
