10,000 Steps

SRA is sponsering a 10,000 steps a day challenge through our insurance provider, Cigna. I signed up last week, and our pedometers were distributed today.

We also got access to a website to track our steps per day, and weight. It doesn't start till Monday the 4th, but I'm going to see how it goes.

For my height and weight (75" & 288lbs) it says I need to walk at least 12,500 steps to begin to burn fat, and keep lean muscle. With my stride (32") that works out to about 6.2 miles!!

I'm not sure if I can do this. That sort of goal can be very de-motivating, but I'm tired of being big. It's not supposed to hurt putting on socks . . . I just keep telling myself that.
