One Million Step Challenge in 100 days

I think we are all doing great. It's something to aim for and if some days or weeks are a bit less than others then that's ok. It's the magic million at the end of the 100 days that we are trying to achieve.
So this week I clocked up the following:
Day 38 - 15,768
Day 39 - 21,235
Day 40 - 22,339
Day 41 - 20,116
Day 42 - 20,643
Total so far - 658,086
Average Steps - 15,668
Really happy with this week. I worked in the office every day so it was easy to get to 10,000 just commuting. But I also did a lap around Darling Harbour in the morning and afternoon Tuesday - Friday and went for a short walk at lunch time, so that's how I did the 20,000 days. It's not easy - I had to get an earlier train to make up the time, and got home a bit later. I know it's not much, probably an extra 15 minutes at each end, but every 15 minutes counts in the morning when I'm trying to get ready for work!!
Anyway, here we are at the weekend. I'll try to get 20,000 steps in today and tomorrow and see how I go with it again next week. I quite enjoy the walking as the weather has been just beautiful, but it's just the time that is the interfering part.0 -
Didn't make it over 20k on the weekend, I was just TIRED!!!
Gave myself Sunday off, but still made it to 15k. Pretty happy about that.
Day 43 - 14,258

Day 45 - 16,151
Total - 704,446!! Woo hoo!!0 -

Yay!! We are half way through the 100 days!! I am feeling very good about it. Think I have only had about 3 days under the 10k and a few days over 20k. Pleased that my average is 15,651 per day. Before this challenge I was only really averaging about 5,000 steps a day due to working from home a lot and basically becoming a bit lazy.. ugh.. Now even if I am working from home I make an effort to go for a walk and get some basic activity. It's very easy with my job to sit on my butt all day.
I think we are all doing really well. Go Team!!0 -

This week is forecast to rain a lot. I'm working at the office, so I'll get 10,000 steps in a day but doubt I'll be over 15,000 if the weather isn't good. I don't mind getting wet if I'm not going anywhere, but not too keen when I'm dolled up for the office. So we will have to see..0 -
Day 53 - 20,016... that was a surprise!!
Total - 839,984
Working from home today, went for a quick walk this morning and will go out again at lunch time for another short walk but can't do after work as I have late Skype meetings. Will probably just get the 10,000 done today.0 -
Week 8. 107k steps. Total so far 850k. I was hoping to walk a lot this week but we are on a small island and I can't get right around it. I will stay on track with short walks but no long ones Sadly.0

Hope you are having a lovely time Jackie! Sounds heavenly.
Yesterday I managed 11501 steps. Total now 851,485 for the 54 days.
I have to say that I'm really happy with this. As I've said before, in the first half of this year I wasn't moving around much and barely making 5000 steps most days. I was unwell, working a lot from home and just not getting out and about as much as last year and not even as much as when I was 30kg heavier! Now I'm back walking every day, even if it's just a quick walk in the morning and then again at lunch time, I'm just moving more and really enjoying it.
This morning I went for a quick walk around the block (or 4) after my weights session and about half way through I realised how normal it is for me again and how much I enjoy walking and doing the "good morning!" to the other walkers that I pass. It's just really nice to be out and about.
Hope you all have a good day 0 -

Should hit the 900,000 mark today!! Woo Hoo!
Mind you, it is pouring rain and Sunday is a rest day for me. So I'll have to either go out for a walk in the rain (ugh) or sit on the Spin bike for an hour (not going to happen)... We will see what the day brings.0 -
10am update...
I sucked it up and got dressed in some old workout clothes, old shoes and my huge yellow hooded fishermans raincoat and went for a walk. It was cold, wet and miserable, but nice at the same time ... very quiet out and just nice to walk and have some breathing space.
So my 10,000 steps for the day are done! Not sure I'll get much else done today, I think we are having a quiet day at home, but at least I've done my quota for the day and now at about 905,000 - yay!0 -

Nice work Colleen, couple of huge days in there!!

Delighted to see last night that I was at the top of my 7 day friends leader board. I've only got 10 friends, so it's not that much, but I'm usually running about 3-4 on the list so it was a big thrill. Mind you, the reason is that the others were lower than their averages, not that I've walked a huge amount of steps this week :laugh:
Day 63 - today working from home so wont get as many steps in. Been for a walk this morning but going to have a busy day sitting on my butt at the PC.
Planning to go for a long walk tomorrow, weather permitting.
Hope everyone has something nice planned for the weekend!0 -
Week 9, 110k, total so far, 960k. So close I can smell it. No wait that's dinner. I will log 10 more steps as I walk to the table :-)0

Working from home the next few days and the weather is cold and wet, so I doubt I'll be doing much more than 10,000 per day, but I'll make an effort to do what I can. If it's reasonably dry at lunch time I'll go out for a walk but I don't fancy getting wet today.
It's easy on work days, as it's about 9,000 steps just getting to and from work.0 -
Slipped down the FitBit leader board to 7th place... not sure I've ever been this low on it. Usually I'm about 4th.
Anyway, I've had an incredible stressful and sedentary last couple of days. Working from home, very busy and have some family troubles so I've been not very active. Still did my garage workout but that's about it.
Day 67 - 7,731
Day 68 - 3,083 - lowest day in months and months.
Still, I can't do much about it at the moment. Life is just throwing me a curve ball. I'll be back at the office tomorrow and will get at least 10,000 steps in.
Hope everyone else is kicking goals!!0 -

I made it yay. Challenge complete but I am going to keep on walking, and hitting those big numbers when I can. Lets see how many I hit by the 100 day mark :-)
Well done everyone else for efforts so far, especially skim who just beat me to it :-)0 -
Thanks Helen and Jackie,
I had a really slow week this week. Lots of work, a bit of drama at home and not much walking being done. My slowest week in the entire challenge - ugh.
Day 69 - 6565
Day 70 - 12,360
Day 71 - 10,156
Total now at 1,071,562. Daily average still (only just) over 15,000 for the entire challenge but this week I only walked 64,424 steps. My step count hasn't been that low for ages. Still - it can't be helped some weeks.
Today I have been for a walk this morning, and then this afternoon a shorter walk with DD at the beach. Had a lovely day being out and although the weather has been wet for the last 2 weeks today was beautiful, sun was out for a glorious last day of winter. Bring on Spring!! I'm looking forward to longer days and warmer weekends 0 -

Today working from home. Already at 10,000 at midday but have a lot to do today and may not get out for a walk this afternoon. Really wanted to make at least 15,000 per day this week to make up for my less than stellar effort last week, so I'll try to get in some time on the Spin Bike after work. Just depends on what mothering needs doing...
I have loved doing this challenge. I'm going to keep up the 10,000 a day when we finish. It's a good habit to keep 0
