Getting Fit for Steem Fest with Actifit and Blocktrades - My Actifit Report Card: July 7 2019

Let me just say this first before telling you how I got over 20,000 steps today: I want to go to Steemfest in November with a rather severe level of desperation, which I’m not proud of, but which I also recognize may be useful in helping me get there. Not only am I willing to do whatever it takes (well, within certain reasonable limits), but I believe that by putting this much intention into this idea, the idea will become reality.

That said, did you know that @blocktrades and @actifit have collaborated to help get more people to Steemfest 4? Why? Because they are cool. And they recognize that it’s not easy. And they understand that the only thing that can overcome limited means, uncertainty and inertia is a good swift kick in the behind. And that can take many forms, in reality. A contest, for example. That is a perfect kick in the butt!

So, if you have every intention of getting to SteemFest 4 in November but you don’t yet know how, or you think you might like to but you haven’t motivated yet to do anything about it, here’s what you do:

1. Read this post.
2. Join @actifit, if you haven’t yet.
3. Blog from your Actifit account daily. (Like yours truly. And I am an insanely busy person, so if I can do it, you can too.)
4. On the weekends, go the extra mile. Get your step count up to at least 15k and follow the rules in the contest blog to enter the contest with your Actifit post.

You may win a ticket to Steemfest! With accommodations!

Okay, that said, I will actually talk about my steps for the day. (As if the opportunity to win Steemfest tickets wasn’t thrilling enough!)

My daughters and I went shopping at IKEA, and if you have ever had this experience, you know that it involves a lot of walking.

Of course I made my daughters pose for silly pictures!

After that we went home and I did some laundry, some blogging and some cooking. After dinner my husband and one of our girls went out to our favorite trail.

I was kind of lagging behind because I was still full from dinner, so I used this as an opportunity to photograph them walking along the path, and under tunnels and bridges.

Our favorite path passes a beautiful marina.

Also we saw tons of wildlife — geese, deer, bunnies, frogs, water birds and a cardinal. But I’m about to run out of time so I’m going to post this and will write a blog post with my wildlife pictures another time. It was a great day!

p.s. Here's my tweet of this post!
