I like the idea of the step challenge. I have an Apple Watch that I have used for tracking calories burned during workouts, and for a few other things, but I have never paid much attention to steps.
Today I have 7579, which includes my workout of 30 min tabata/30 min yoga.
I normally never wear my watch when I’m at home so it’s kinda bugging me but I think I’ll get used to it

Lots of great step totals so far! Thank you for joining me in this. It's what I needed at the moment. If there's anything you would like to see as a "challenge" because it's what you need at the moment, please just let me know!!2

Hello, I have been AWFUL not logging in everyday. I just saw the step challenge and want in. A day late but I'm still going to do this and hopefully it will get me back on track. I wear my Fitbit every day so can give you my step count for Monday. Unfortunately, I gave myself a break on Monday so don't have very many. It's supposed to be an awesome day today, sunny and warm, so plan to get out and get some steps. Good luck everyone - let's see those step totals posted here. Remember, the more steps you get, the more smart calories you get.4

Calories: not quite

Does anyone think there is a difference between how different devices track steps and/or calories? Sometimes I wonder if my watch doesn’t give me enough steps or calories for what I do! Or maybe I think I’m working harder than I am! I feel like I should have a lot of steps just running after my kids all day, even without going on walks or doing workouts. Also, does exercise like yoga give me any steps or not? Sorry for all the questions!0 -

Tracking Yes
Calories Yes
Exercise Yes, ran around like a blue tick fly trying to get my 9 year Old's bag packed for a few days away with school (only to find out that it's been rescheduled for 2 week's time due to the weather!)
Steps 6043 (total for the week 16364, I think)
I also had a medical review yesterday, the doctor was impressed with my activity level, laughed at the number of broken bones that I have had since my last review, my asthma seems to be getting better, and noted how much weight I had lost since my last review. I also asked about my super long periods (lasted 31 days last time) and has prescribed me some progesterone only pills to go alongside my implant to hopefully stop my periods all together again.0 -

Great questions. I have never compared tracking devices, but others have and most do feel there is a difference between different devices. It stands to reason there would be. You would have to do a search online to find out what people think of your particular tracker. Unfortunately yoga will not give you a lot of steps and neither will weight lifting. Both of these do give you other health benefits, obviously, just not a lot of cardio.1 -

I have never heard of a blue tick fly, but you paint a pretty good picture!!! Congratulations on an overall great medical review (minus the numerous broken bones, of course!) and let's hope the progesterone offers some relief!0 -

Hoping that you get your people things straightened out in short order. Sorry to see you go, but totally understand. If you find things returning to some level of normalcy, come on back. You know where to find us!! (hugs)0
