    I won't hit my goal, but I'm happy with the numbers I achieved. I knew it was a tough ask but I wanted to aim for something tough. I still have Monday to add some more minutes and next month I see if I can hit the goal out at least get closer than I did this month!

    So this month I was traveling and working most of the month. Then I started my new job. Also lost my Fitbit at the airport (but Fitbit replaced it for free!!). So I have not been tracking my numbers at all. New month starts next week so I will be more diligent.

    Thank you everyone for soldiering on with my absence!! So glad all of you at least tried the challenge!

    Congratulations to everyone who made goal! I wasn't diligent about tracking and then I lost my Fitbit so I was way off last month. Anyway, I got a new FitBit and I am moving to a 3rd floor apartment within walking distance of work, so I will get those minutes in this month. Here's the link to the September Challenge:
