Counting steps?

Hi all! I'm in Cincinnati with my first pregnancy - due Feb. 23rd!! I've been wearing a pedometer for a while now and was just wondering if anyone else is also. My daily goal is 12,000 steps. Some days I am way over but some days I am not even close. Any ideas for keeping the step counting fun?

    Find someone to keep you accountable. A lot of teachers where I am have fitbits and they challenge each other and check in to see where they are on their steps.

    Yep, fitbit does challenges that are awesome! I have a desk job and I set alarms to remind me to step away from my desk and go for walks

    I use a Fitbit and try to do 10,000 steps a day. I go on walks on my lunch and listen to audiobooks on headphones. Right now I'm listening to pregnancy and baby books!

    I agree with PPs. The challenges are great motivation. A friend of mine is due about 3 weeks after me and we try to do a challenge a week (either workweek or weekend). 

    Is it too early for those of us with Fitbits to connect and keep each other going?

    I think it's more fun if you have a dog. Haha. I work inside and it was nearly impossible for me to get 10000 steps a day unless I walked for like 2 hours! I don't have time for that. Haha.

    Good luck! Find someone to walk with you!

    I have a Jawbone and the app helps me track my movement throughout the day. I will check it about 4 times and make sure I am meeting my goal throughout the day. If not I know that I need to get up and go for a walk to log some steps.
