Small Steps, Big Rewards

The competition is real.

That is why Fitbit is a thing.

Competing with my community makes it even more real.

I know I can outstep Kim if I get up off this couch.

My old legs can keep up.

Do I look crazy going through the grocery store?

Pushing the cart with one hand so my arm swings

and my steps count. 

No way am I walking without getting credit.

Just like my cleaning list. 

If I clean something that isn’t on my list

I just add it and immediately mark it off.

After all, it is about the credit not just the clean house.

But who will see my list?

Only me. 

But that is still motivating enough to add it to my list.


It is good that we can motivate ourselves even in little ways.
Data is our friend.
I know I get up and move when my wrist vibrates and says ‘Let’s Stroll’
It is what I want, to move more, 10,000 steps a day.
It is a small thing but when my wrist goes wild as I take that goal step
I can’t help but smile and feel accomplished.

Feeling good today.

In Him,
Joyful
