walk and walk and walk

My water bottle came and it's been one of the better purchases I've made. It's really easy to tell myself 'okay, two of these today', and then I've got two liters of water taken care of. LOVE it.
My other fantastic purchase that came was my pedometer. I found this website where they challenge you to walk 10,000 steps per day (roughly five miles). The average person walks anywhere from 3,000-7,000 steps per day. I decided I was going to try and get at least 8,000 per day. Success! It's really nice having something to remind me to keep active. Today I walked 9,000 and yesterday I did over 11,000 steps (thank you Costco and University mall!) It's going really well.
I've been really good about my fruits and vegetables as well, although I could do better on protein. Today I got around 8 or 9 fruit/veg servings and about 3 servings of protein. I'm not a huge fan of meat and whey protein has me going into anaphylactic shock so that's a no-go. As far as soy protein... not sure. It might be a good time to find out.
