I got the results of 2015 from Fitbit.
In 2015, I walked 2,308,344 steps, which is 965 miles. That's only a little over 80 miles a month. There were months when I was downright lazy and didn't get much done. Still, 80 miles a month is better than 0 miles a month. That includes both my treadmill walks and my lunchtime walks.
In fairness to me, though, I've noticed that the tracker seems to be off. Both my treadmill and my iPod will tell me that I've walked 2.25 miles on the treadmill, for example, and the Fitbit will say that I've walked 2.03 miles. And that's frustrating. My route at work is 3.5 miles, if I'm able to walk through the park. I know it's 3.5 miles and yet, my Fitbit will say that I've only walked 3.27 miles. So I'm not getting the credit from Fitbit that I should be. Still, I guess it's a minor thing overall. Rick says that we need to get outside and he will recalibrate my stride and see if that helps.
I have to be careful walking through the park. When it's really cold, the moms and kids aren't at the playground. And if the park is completely empty (sometimes people will grab something for lunch and then eat their lunch while sitting in their cars at the park), I tend to be wary when I walk through. After heavy snow, they don't shovel the paths or plow the parking lot and so I won't walk there. One day, I started through and saw three men standing at the pavilion and other than them, the park was empty; I immediately turned around and came back out. And sometimes, road workers are working and roads will be blocked. Most of the time, they'll let me through since I'm just walking, but sometimes I have to figure out an alternate street. I can always figure out a way to get my miles in, but sometimes it's trickier than other times.
I will do better in 2016!
