Text		back to your third of six Stepping Up To Health sessions. You may remember that back in the first newsletter, we discussed exercise safety and in the second newsletter, we talked about ways to help overcome some of the challenges that keep you from reaching your daily step goal. In this session, we'd like to share some ideas that can keep you focused on the path to walking. This session is about motivating and encouraging you to increase your daily steps.	51
Paragraph			60
Text		Let's begin by looking at your current level of overall motivation.	70
Block	OAMotWalk>=1		80
Text		In your survey, you told us that you aren't walking much during the day. You rated your motivation to walk more often as $int(OAMotWalk) out of 10.	90
Text	OAMotWalk>=1 and OAMotWalk<=3	So, you aren't feeling very motivated to walk each day.	110
Text	OAMotWalk>3 and OAMotWalk<=6	So, you are feeling fairly motivated to walk each day.	120
Text	OAMotWalk>6 and OAMotWalk<=8	So, you are feeling very motivated to start walking each day.	130
Text	OAMotWalk>8	So, you are feeling exceptionally motivated to start walking each day.	140
Text	OAMotWalk>=1 and OAMotWalk<=6	What would it take to get you to go from $int(OAMotWalk) to a higher number such as $plus(OAMotWalk, 2) or $plus(OAMotWalk, 3)?	150
Text	OAMotWalk>6 and OAMotWalk<9	What would it take to get you to go from $int(OAMotWalk) to a higher number such as $plus(OAMotWalk, 1) or $plus(OAMotWalk, 2)?	160
Text	OAMotWalk>=9	Why was your motivation at $int(OAMotWalk) and not a lower number? In other words, what makes it so important to you? Take a few minutes to write down your thoughts. What can you do to keep your motivation strong? What potential challenges lie ahead that could derail your plans to walk more? How can you focus on the good things that come from exercise?	170
EndBlock			190
Text	isEmpty(OAMotWalk)	On a scale from 1-10, where 1 is not at all motivated and 10 extremely motivated, how would you rate your motivation to walk right now?	200
