Ikea Counts

As anyone who has ever shopped at Ikea can attest, navigating through the store counts as a real walk. Yes, I know it is already a matter of my project, my rules, but I want to make sure that on any given day I’m holding to the spirit of my resolution — to move my body, get out of the house, out of my head, and into the world around me. I wear my FitBit even if I don’t obsess over a daily step goal, and a whirl through Ikea (is there such a thing?) definitely counts as a walk, possibly even an all-out hike. I talked to people, I laughed, smiled, and even rolled my eyes a few times while browsing and shopping. This photo proves I was there:

My purchase will now decorate our doorstep and welcome me home from my Thundersley walks for the rest of the year:

All in all, it was a good morning out, and my FitBit is very happy with me.

  1. … been there with you… remembering a glorious spiritual happening. The little labyrinth ? will dig up the picture of Erwin and Lisa creating it!
