Another Day

Yesterday was a great day.  I did everything on my goal list and feel great.  Why do I feel so great after just one day? Because I treated myself well yesterday.   When I am honest with myself I have not been good to myself for the past month.  That makes me angry with myself.  But I am letting go of the anger and not eating it away.  I plan to have another great day today.  I work noon to 5:30 then I am going to a play with friends.  I have planned what I am eating and I know I will stay with in calorie range. 

I wanted to ask a question and get some feed back.  Can I count working at Wal-Mart on the weekends as working out?  I am on my feet the entire time and do 8,000 to 14,000 steps in one shift.  It depends on the length of the shift, but I average at least 1,000  steps an hour.  And if I do count it how would I count it?
