V, why are you doing this? You've set yourself a seemingly unattainable target with limitless excuse possibilities. Do you want to get fitter, thinner, lighter or are you raising money for charity? If any of the first three, stop. set something more realistic. Say 4000 steps per day. Then when you've acheived that for 7 days running, move the goalposts -got for 5000 ...etc.. Aiming for 10 a day when you seem hard pushed to make 3 is just bollocks. You're excusing yourself before you start by setting something unattainable as the goal.

Would you vote for a kid in middle school who says she wants to be president? or would you wait until she's shown her mettle a little? Would you advise that kid to go for presidential nomination immediately, or start by running for student council?
