Part 4/8:
During my second week, I decided to switch it up and simplify my step-tracking method by purchasing a digital pedometer. My initial experiences using the watch were filled with confusion and inaccuracies, but this straightforward device was a game-changer. I appreciated its no-frills design, and it proved effective for counting each step I took throughout the day.
Despite striving for my goal, I still found myself struggling on non-workout days. It often required extensive walking in busy environments such as malls just to ensure I’d meet my daily quota. On days where I was primarily at home or at my desk, I had to be strategic about standing up and moving around to gather the remaining steps needed.
