[Pilgrim's Progress]

I’m loving my Fitbit Versa. It reminds me every 10 minutes before the hour to get my steps in. I have a “Stamina InMotion E1000 Compact Strider” that I go over and do 150 quick steps with resistance and both my watch and I are happy.

I am trying faithfully to get my 10,000 steps in per day at least 5 out of 7 days.

I’m diabetic and my sugars are doing real good now. I was messing around with levels above 200 and now I am right around the 100 mark. (That includes limiting my carbs to 150-200 per day).

Any kind of a pedometer is a must for those who are normally inactive (such as myself). It really does serve to motivate you to get up and move around more. If I don't hit 10,000 steps for the day, I feel guilty. It does take some discipline to get to the 10,000 steps on a regular basis.

Most mobile devices these days have pedometers built in. For instance, my Apple iPhone tracks every step I take (so long as i have the phone with me) and it's pretty accurate.

Either that or get a dog. Dogs will also motivate one to get some steps in.

Took my blood pressure this weekend and was a perfect 120/80. Not bad for somebody in their mid-50s. I'm now going on five months with zero added sugars in my diet - feels good!
