When I was working retail I was on my feet 7-10 plus hours a day. I hated the retail jobs so much. But I lost a lot of weight due to that. So I’m trying to stand and walk more throughout my days. Kind like pretend if I was working retail but not because I’m not working right now. So yeah just being a lot less sedentary. Try to hit at least 10,000 steps a day. I was regularly getting 20,000 plus steps a day when I was working. I didn’t even really alter my eating habits that much when I was working and I still lost the weight just due to being so active. I mean I ate a tiny bit less frequently due to being busy a lot so less time to boredom eat and less binge eating. But yeah the big thing that helped was the sheer amount of physical activity throughout the days.

Today I took a walk to the library. So far I’m at 5,000 steps. I’m also gonna get on the treadmill for 30 minutes here soon on an incline of 7.
