Million Step March Progress

I know I'm terrible at posting blogs and when I do they are kind of boring. I checked my monthly progress with my Bodybugg today and since I wearing it I have walked 720,240 steps. There are about 2,500 steps in a mile so it's about 288 miles.

I started out averaging about 8,000 steps a day and my goal is 10,000. I now average about 13,000 steps every day. My dogs are in the best shape of their lives. Bob wears one too now. I keep telling him it's not fair because he burns way more calories than I do. Yesterday, for example I took 3 separate walks for a total of 16,607 steps. I burned 2946 calories. Bob makes an effort to walk throughout the day and went on an evening walk with me to the dog park. He ended up with 10,076 steps but burned 3,006 calories. Secretly, I'm not jealous. I'm actually glad that he is joining me as we challenge ourselves.
