highway to the danger zone

I could just have a blog of NPH gifs from HIMYM and I'd be happy. ps: I've already lost 4 pounds with eating right and walking at least 10,000 steps a day for about 3 weeks. Booyah! So also:

10,000+ a day! and Book Fair!

Success! I managed to meet my goal this work week of walking 10,000+ steps every day. On three days, I walked over 13,000 steps. Whoa! Makes me feel awesome. In other news, I started planning my first Book Fair. I am so out of my element doing this, but I think it'll be fun. It starts on October 1. The hardest part for me has been figuring out the schedule. Scheduling the classes first, and then next week I have to tackle scheduling volunteers, which is something I have never done before. Well, okay, everything about this job is something I've never done before, but this is just weird for me. It's such great experience in management. Also a strange dynamic. It's odd to me to be telling people what to do, especially because I'm so much younger than them. I'm super thankful for this job, because I love it, but also because it is pushing me and challenging me professionally like nothing ever has before.

Pedometer Challenge!

I'm participating in a pedometer challenge at work! It was supposed to start today, but they pushed it off to start next week. Nevertheless, I started counting my steps today. My goal for each day is 10,000 steps. That ends up being over 4 miles! Today was my first day to count my steps and I did 13,456 steps as of 8 o'clock tonight. Whoa! It's just about 5 miles for the day. What's nice is that you get to include all the running around you do at work! The program ends 12 weeks from now, so I'm hoping to walk at least 200 miles over the course of the program. Wish me luck!
