30 Day Challenge

OK. so I started a 30 day challenge today.  The challenge is to walk 30+ minutes a day.  Now I've been wearing a step tracker for several months now, and regularly get 10k+ steps a day.  The problem is they're not strung together, because the best "bang for your buck" when it comes to walking is to do it non-stop for at least 10 minutes.  My goal is 30 minutes a day.  Every day.

After I had lunch, I thought "why not give it a try by walking my BigBox store?"  Well.  Two problems arose.  Shoppers thought I was an employee, and on the clock.  Since I wasn't, I didn't want to interrupt  my exercise time for work time.  I can see how this isn't going to work out as a normal plan.  Too many customers want some assistance ......   So I suppose if I want to get in some lunch time walks, I'll have to head over to the gym's treadmill.  So much for best laid plans.

After work, it was off to the gym where I got 22 minutes on the elliptical, then did some stretching.  I was going to do some weight resistance, but after my fall last week, I didn't want to push my already sore spots to the limit on the first day.

Today's total:
  12 minute walk
  22 minute walk
  22 minutes elliptical
for a grand total of 11,184 steps.

An OK start to this 30 day challenge!
