I have logged 46.5 miles so far this year. I've gained a reputation at work for taking the long way around wherever I have to go in the office. I have also been making more trips between the dryer and the bedroom and such as that in order to get more steps in each day.
On Thursday, I noticed mid-afternoon that I had a high number of steps. I knew if I pushed myself, I would get a record number of steps for the day and I did. Then on Friday, I decided to beat that number of steps and I did! On Saturday, I was unable to beat Friday's record. I was OK with that. I know that I spent my time wisely. I did not laze around or anything like that. I just had obligations that kept me from getting in quite so many steps. That's life. That happens.
I am getting the most steps in each day that the day allows. I am challenging myself to get better, but I'm not all caught up in it. I'm not judging my worth by my pedometer. I may get to 1000 miles by December 31 and I may not. I know that I'll be pleased with myself if I keep simply doing the very best I can.

Good for you! Your enthusiasm is contagious. I've found myself walking in place in front of the TV a couple times this week. It's almost addictive, watching those steps build up. I'll post later with my mileage.
