So, the brainiacs at the Diabetes Center told me I should walk 10,000 steps a day. I said, I walk 1.6 miles a day. Isn’t that like 80,000 steps?
Turns out it’s only 4300-ish.
Arrrgh.
Why don’t doctors realize that before I embraced the whole “no chocolate*, no soda+, more water, more walking” lifestyle that I never ever walked? I deserve a frigging tickertape parade for even going the 1.6 miles.
* Did I tell you Gene bought me a 4 pack of Godiva over the weekend? Mmmm.
+ Diet soda doesn’t count. Oh, and for full disclosure I have only had around 32 oz of water today. Weight Watchers doesn’t count caffeinated diet soda as water, but Elaine does. So there.
Did I tell you I actually maintained (that is, did not gain) my weight over Xmas? And that includes being totally off medications. I was shocked when I weighed myself after the trip to IN/OH.
