One Month

I've had my treadmill desk for a month now and walked about 40 miles. I've probably lost about 5 pounds, which is great. Hopefully as my body gets used to walking I will be able to walk more each day. For some silly reason I thought I would be able to walk most of the workday but my body doesn't really like that idea. I currently average about 2 hours of walking per day, depending on my work schedule. I put on a pedometer just to see what the number of steps look like. I have yet to hit 10,000 steps, even walking 2 miles a day at the treadmill! As a person trained in public health I have to say that the oft cited goal of Americans walking 10,000 steps a day is probably a bit out of reach for most people.
