small changes to aid weight loss part II

Happy Sunday everyone.....hope you are all enjoying it.  I will be off to my swim later, and my injured foot feels better so hoping for a good xray tomorrow am.
Today's tip: Be conscious to move as much as you can.  When you first start losing....look at a long period of exercise can be daunting...how about just moving more?  Buy a pedometer (there are ones at walmart or target for like 5 bucks) and use it.  The goal is at least 10,000 steps.  But just do normal movement one day, see how many steps you get, and aim to increase by 1,000 steps a day until you reach 10,000. 
Examples of how to do this:
-Take the stairs.
- I see so many people in condos/apts drive to the garbage or the mailbox...stop doing that...walk!
-At work, if you work in an office (or school in my case), walk to the farthest rest room to use it.  EAt a snack?  Leave it in the staff lounge or lunchroom and walk to get it.
-Store nearby?  Walk when you only need a few things...every Sunday (not today because I'm staying off the foot but on normal occasions) I walk to get the paper.  It's about 7 minutes away....so there and back gets in a 15 min walk about. 
-play outside with the kids or take your dog for a longer walk (Fido will love you!)

Moving more can be a great first step to transitioning to more exercise.:) The best time to start is today!
