Walking a Thousand Miles

Joe and I joined WeightWatchers at the first of the year.  The plan is amazing!  Joe says I am a walking commercial for the program.  I have enjoyed my new eating lifestyle, but I decided to step it up.  I joined the walk a thousand miles in the year challenge.  This is a big challenge.  I thought at first walking almost three miles a day wouldn't be to hard.  I am counting every step I take.  I count my steps from the bedroom to the laundry room, the steps I take to change the diapers every day, and the walks I take everyday.  The last days have created somewhat of a challenge.  The baby got the stomach bug which has created some set-backs in reaching that 1000 mile goal.  I have learned though life with a baby can create number of extra challenges.  But I have also learned that my baby will have me on the go and at my goal of 1000 miles by the time he starts walking.  His ability to move around already is limited, but keeps me moving.  It is good to keep this attitude and not get discouraged.  I also keep in mind that I am doing this all for!  I want not only to get in better shape, but I want my son to learn healthy eating habits and to be active!
