The last couple of days I'd planned only one snack and ate more than I planned. So for now, let's plan a bit more food.

Daily Article Notes

Relevant notes from my daily set of Noom articles.

I hadn't been exercising much of late. Sounds like that's about to change.
Walking and running are equally good apparently in keeping healthy, though running is a more efficient way to do it, in terms of time spent.
I have a pedometer built into my phone, so no worries there.
The goal is to reach 10,000 steps/day. I've been there before, and I know I can get back there again.
The plan: start at a certain step count I can choose, go up 300 steps/day, eventually plateauing at 10,000 steps/day.
Mix in dedicated walks with smaller things like parking farther than usual from my destination, adding random short breaks/loops to my day, etc.
What should I start with? Let's start aiming for... 6,000 calories.
Wait, no. Start lower. Start with 4,000 steps. We'll build up. There's no rush.
Some things to do while walking:

Use a Japanese flashcard study app
Play Pokemon Go, Hearthstone, or other mobile games
Listen to music, podcasts, or familiar LPs (where I don't need to watch to know what's happening).
Or just BE THERE in nature! Probably not that much, but try it out?
I'll also try to take pictures on these walks to share on this blog.
