PAs Get 10K Steps Daily...YEAH RIGHT!!

On Valentine's Day, I joined the FitBit revolution and purchased a basic FitBit Flex at Costco to prove to myself that I meet the 10K step goal daily by walking around the hospital and exercising just boosts me ABOVE and beyond. 

YEAH RIGHT!! 

Unfortunately, I have proved myself VERY WRONG. Not only was I not reaching 10K steps, but I wasn't even reaching 2.5K steps. I might be on my feet all day, but it doesn't mean that I'm active! 

One great thing about the flex, minus the hit to my fitness pride mentioned above, is that it motivates me to GET MOVING. There is something rewarding about meeting the goal! In the past week I've noticed I've taken Samson to the more frequently AND have upped my mileage on the teadmill. I've also found myself taking the stairs more than the elevator!! CLICHE I know, but hey, whatever wkrks! 

I'm attaching my log for the past couple of days! I highly recommend joining the fitness tracker craze if you haven't already. It's been lifestyle changing for me already!
