Walk Fit

Image result for step tracker spark 



13,224 steps!!!




That's a new record for me.... this is a picture of a SparkPeople tracker.  When all the circles light up, you've reached your goal for the day.  Mine is set at 10k steps.  This week, I've bypassed that goal every day, and it feels so good!

The average person's stride length is approximately 2.5 feet long. That means it takes just over 2,000 steps to walk one mile, and 10,000 steps is close to 5 miles.

Reaching the 10k step mark every day is a lofty goal if you're not used to being active.  But by starting out, then increasing your goal every week, you can do it too!

Sigh of Relief

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I am JuMpInG for joy right now!
When I was doing my photography thing, just as I was loading the car with all my stuff, I bumped my Nikon camera, and heard glass crackle.  When I looked, I saw glass splintered, and I was just sick.  So sick that I couldn't even look at the camera, or the lens.

I forced myself to dig it out of the bag and check the exact model of the lens to see how much it would be to replace the glass.  As I was looking at it, I realized that I still had a filter on the end of the lens, and it's the FILTER that was broken, not my lens!

I am SOOOO relieved right now, because another $200 lens is NOT in my budget.

*whew*

Here's another Engagement Photo from this weekend:
