Well my first 30 days of experiment are over. My total number of steps almost reached 600,000 with total miles equaling close to 240. I lost around 5 pounds, a nice bonus to the experiment, and increased my lean muscle mass. I feel great and have been sleeping better. While I certainly enjoyed the daily walking regimen -which I will continue- I'm not going to make it mandatory. A few days out of each week where I strive to reach that lofty goal is just fine. As you can see by the log, it became increasingly more difficult to maintain 20,000 daily steps. Of course it does not help that I left the pedometer on the charger for an entire evening while I shuffled along on the treadmill, but the point was not about trying to break records or forcing myself to walk even when I didn't feel like I could, the idea was to just try something different, to do the best I could, and to just have fun.
Now on to the next 30 days!
