Do you know how many steps per day that you should be walking? 10,000 steps! On average a person takes between 5,000-7,000 steps per day. That's way under the suggested amount. I bought a FitBit for my hubby and myself to see just how many steps we take. I love the fact that we can add each other as friends and see how many steps the other has taken. It's set up to motivate each other, it just requires you to look at the app or the website. :) One thing I am not good about doing every day. and as of this minute hubby is kicking my bootie! LOL Guess I need to run up and down the stairs today. This is my status from yesterday.
Stay at home mom, self employed, 4 kids and a busy life all make for a very interesting life. It's time to put me first and get healthy! After all if I don't take care of me, how will I be able to take care of them? Grab that cup of coffee and enjoy the read. ;)

10,000 steps
I love the smell of fresh basil. After we moved back to Spokane one of the first stops we made was at Trader Joes. They have beautiful basil plants for sale, and at a super reasonable price. Now I have fresh basil whenever I want. Last night that fresh basil came in handy for dinner. We had homemade spaghetti sauce with spahetti squash and garlic bread. It was delicious!! If you have never made your own spaghetti sauce I recommend that you give it a try. I have never followed a recipe to make mine and every time I make it, it's a little bit different. Open up a can of tomatoes, tomato sauce; cook up some ground turkey, add chopped onion & sliced mushrooms. Mix in some chopped garlic, fresh basil, oregano, salt & pepper...and stir. Now be sure you don't forget a couple teaspoons of sugar to help cut that acid. Give it a try and see how it comes out. I haven't bought spaghetti sauce in so many years and once you make your own you won't buy another jar of premade sauce again.
