Get moving // Fitness & Weigh In

How many steps?

Today's post should be my look back over the week to celebrate my steps.  But due to the fact I lost my fitbit for a few days I have no idea how I did this week!

I was away from home & wasn't sure when I lost it, luckily it was on Baileys bed!

I do know that by not checking in I was less inclined to push myself to do that little bit more.

I did hit 10,000 one day - I pushed myself after work to go a long walk with Mr B & Bailey - & I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The more I move the happier I feel

I have definitely noticed that the more I move the happier I feel.   Of course after I have got up & gone to the gym or done that walk I feel better but I need to remember those feelings to get me off the sofa when I'm not feeling so happy.

Through #BEDM I found Elizabeth's post on Coco Cola's Happiness is Movement.  I could totally connect with her words.  I too had felt the happiness after physically moving my body, but also had the limiting mindset that I was not good at physical activity.  

I was always told I was not good at sport at school & by my parents.  And I wasn't but I was good at moving my body - dancing, walking, fun runs, swimming, ice skating, roller blading - all things I loved to do but gradually as I felt these things had to be taken seriously to do them as an adult - I did them less & less.  Until I became the self fulfilling prophecy of not being any good at them.

So today I am also sharing Coco Cola's Happiness is Movement and linking to one of many of their feel good videos to encourage us to be a little more active.
