I just got congratulated on reaching 250 steps within the hour...all while I was sitting on my duff and shaking a bag of chips into my face
You should be happy to get credit for steps, right?
I guess so, but it doesn't really count.
The step count doesn't really matter in the end. It's bad to be unhealthy. You should try to get some real movement in.
I'm working on it.
That's great! This sounds like a great realization to finally get up and active, it's not good to sit around constantly all day. You're going to feel a huge difference once you have been active for a while.
