Starting off just right

Yeah, so, apparently 2017 is starting off just right.

Mom walked over five million steps last year, which equates to about 13700 steps a day, give or take a few. So inspired, I managed to walk 18k steps today, but not without the delight of a tea spill onto a stack of my index cards. I had to think, if that's the worst part of the day, I'm doing the day okay. It was also the first day I've managed to hit my goal of 600 active calories in a day since starting measuring at Christmas. How one can walk 18000 steps and not burn 600 calories, I don't know. That's 180 minutes of walking at 4 calories a minute, I should have burned 720 calories from walking. Instead, I needed to do a 20 minute workout just before bed to manage those 600. Clearly an unsustainable goal, given I didn't have work today and could do things like walk three times and workout.

Yeah, so, tea aside, starting this year off right.
