Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I get to bedtime at 4,000 steps, see how far I am from 10,000, and just feel like I failed
- I hit my step number every day by ambling around, and I’m starting to suspect that strolling isn’t actually doing much for my heart
- I want one simple number to aim at each day that tells me whether I actually moved, instead of vaguely hoping I did
- I crash hard about an hour after lunch
- My mind won’t stop chewing on the same worries, and the gym treadmill or a lap around the block doesn’t touch it
