Walking

I got a FitBit Charge for my birthday and I've been wearing it ever since. It amazes me how much tracking my steps makes me want to move. At my last job, I was glued to the computer, so I very rarely got close to my step goal on a weekday. At the new job, I move around a lot more. I've hit my goal both days. Yesterday, it was because I went walking after work, but today I hit my goal by going shopping after work.

I never really thought about how far I walked when I went to a mall before. Before I got my license, I walked everywhere. I worked at a mall, and I would walk to work where I stood for my entire shift, then walked home. I wish I could continue that kind of lifestyle. I love driving, but I really miss the time I spent putting one foot in front of the other. Plus, when I walked everywhere, I didn't have to add walking and running into my routine.

I really wish San Diego had a better transit system. It's really only good if you live downtown. In Sacramento, the light rail and bus system was really good in all the places I lived. So, I could walk to the bus or light rail and get pretty much anywhere I wanted to go. I really miss the excursions I would go on, meandering around Sacramento.

A Happy Day

Today was my birthday. When I got to work this morning, some of my co-workers had decorated my desk. Pretty nice, considering I'm still a temp. After work, my family and I went to dinner at Red Robin, which is one of my favorites. I also got some pretty great gifts. Throughout the day, I got messages from my Facebook friends. I got over 100, which is kind of astounding to me. I really felt the love today. 

Last night I made the mistake of updating my operating system to the newest version, so now my phone is having trouble with its battery life and gave me a weird message about not being able to text. So fun. I should have googled the reviews before updating. But, I'm hoping it will hold out until they come up with a patch or the next version. Even better, maybe the fact that so many people are having problems will encourage them to release a patch faster. Now that I'm the owner of a new FitBit, I really need my phone to work properly.

Today was pretty busy, so I didn't really have enough time to come up with a blog post.
