NSV! Over a year ago, I barely hit 5k steps. Now I am hitting nearly 17k steps a day! (Tips to SLOWLY increase activity level included)

My background: I started my first weight loss journey June 13th 2018 at 210lbs. Then by January 20th 2019 I hit 155lbs. I maintained until June and then gained 35 pounds in 4 months, skyrocketing to 191.7lbs. I restarted my weightloss journey and have adapted better aproaches to losing weight and have now lost 13 pounds, currently 178.8lbs

Before I started this weight loss journey, I didn't realize how EASY it was to live an active lifestyle! In the beginning of my journey I remained extremely sedentary, barely hitting 5,000 steps, and would eat only 1,200 calories.

But yesterday.....I hit almost 17,000 steps!!! It wasn't even like I did a hike for multiple hours.

I did NOT make this change over night.

This was my progress: 5k -> 8k -> 10k -> 12k -> 15k -> 17k It was the SMALL movements, taking the long way to class, walking the stairs instead of an elevator, and getting 30 intense minutes on the elliptical. I urge you to also incorporate small chabges, because they WILL add up!

I have decided that I will up my calories to 1,500 because I believe I will continue to be active from now on. 16,000-17,000 steps will be my goal, so I have to fuel my body for it! 😁
