"[Story] Day 200 and counting"

#PokemonGO: As per my iWatch, I've hit 200 days in row of meeting my daily calorie burn and exercise goals. I started playing on Pokémon Go on 7/9/16. I never was into Pokémon previously, but I quickly found it fun collecting Pokémon, even if I still can't pronounce most of them correctly. After a couple weeks playing of intermittently, I became addicted to the game. I wanted to complete my Pokedex. It got me out there walking. For the first time ever, I found a reason to exercise on a regular basis. My record distance walking is over 18 miles in one day. A total of 32 miles that weekend alone. I'm currently a level 33 player, who has a completed NA Pokedex with the new babies included. I walk an average of 5 miles per day and sometimes more, if there's a good event or new Pokémon to catch. I live in LA, so it's pretty much a good day to walk every day. I've had a couple days which I've had to hit the treadmill instead of walking outdoors because of rain, so I guess I'm addicted to exercising too, even if I can't catch many Pokémon on a given day. My girlfriend says I'm OCD, but whatever at least it's a good OCD. I've never been into going to gyms or exercising regularly, so this has been a real accomplishment for me. My goal is one year straight. Hopefully, Gen 2 will come out soon, so I'll have greater motivation to get out there and play. In the meantime, I'll just keep walking. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2jFYpgE
