Creating new habits

The focus this month is to move more. Not necessarily adding 30 minutes of exercise, but working to achieve more time "moving".

Every Thursday is our office day. Every other day of the week we are on the road, out and about. Office days are full of meetings and paperwork, which often means we are sitting in front of computers until we go downstairs for lunch, then coming right back up to them. It's awful.

So, today I decided I was going to move 5 minutes every hour. I would walk down the steps to the first floor and come back up (we are on the third). I did it at 10:30 and come back and told me co-workers. We went downstairs for lunch at 11:45 and after lunch, a few announced they wanted to walk with me. So, four of us walked down to the basement, up to the 5th floor and back to the third. I was really surprised that friends wanted to do it with me! What a pleasant surprise.
