So, since about Monday night I have been having really bad problems with my ears... Can't hear out of my right ear and left ear is pretty muffled. WELL, those of you that know me know that I am not a fan of doctors and rarely willingly go... BUT, yesterday I finally gave up and let my lovely husband take me in. Turns out my ear was severely impacted and it took a LONG time and many many tries of shooting water in to clean my ear out before it mostly worked... Now, I am on drops for 7 days but I still can't hear very well. :( It is rather frustrating and I am just really ready to feel better.
So, since I haven't been feeling well I haven't really been working out. :( I am hoping that within the next few days I can get back to feeling pretty good and can start back up with my workout plans... Even with the ear and not dedicated any time strictly to working out I still felt like I was really active today. Started with going to Wal-Mart and getting my ear drops this morning, then to the laundromat to do laundry, then home to put it all away, then we had to run to the mall to pick up a few things so there was quite a bit of walking around happening up there.
So, as you all know my sister and I have been blogging together and helping keep each other motivated. So, when I checked her post today it got me thinking about more I can do with my workouts. She has been posting on facebook and things about more walking and things the past few days and her blog post today was about this and how she can get more steps in.... SO, it got me thinking. My wonderful husband bought me a Fitbit recently and it has been a lot of fun! I have been having fun tracking my steps but I haven't been able to reach my 10,000 step goal yet!

So, there a few things that I want to try to amp up my workouts.
1. I am going to try lowering my goal on my Fitbit so that I can reach it easier each day and then slowly work back up to the 10,000. I think if I reach my goal for a few days it will help keep me motivated as I raise the goal.
2. I think I am going to try walking around my house more. Walk in place while watching tv, have smaller glasses of water sitting next to me so I have to walk back to refill my glass more often, just little things like that to help add up throughout the day.
3. The weather is warming up outside. In fact, it has been downright beautiful the last couple of days so I want to try getting out and walking a few laps around the field behind the house again. Not only will it help with the exercise but it will be good to get out of the house and get some sunshine for a little while each day!
What are some of your ideas to help get more steps in and be more productive in workouts?
