Hi .. I am at tail end of December Walking Challenge and am wondering if there is going to be one for January? Would love to join in if there is.

Heck yeah we will do one!

I'm in. I was sick most of December and stopped checking in. My daily walks were much shorter, too.

I'm not beating myself up - just reminding myself to be flexible. I also did better tracking food for the month of December, even with cookie breaks at work for two weeks (I just guessed 100 calories a cookie).

We should do a fun last day of December activity! Let's have everyone post their steps for December 31st, at the end of the day on December 31st 2016. Then I will tally up our results and we will see how far we will walk tomorrow as a group! Since we are from all different places I will have final calculations done on January 1st 2017 AM!

Thanks for all your inspiration Julia. Even though I have had a fitbit for 2 years, I find this challenge with a written monthly goal really keeps me going. Happy tracking in January!
