One Million Step Challenge in 100 days

Stoked!! Yesterday I was working from home and didn't think I would be able to get as many steps in as I would like. HOWEVER, I made up my mind to get them done and went for a walk in the afternoon and got just over 20,000 for the day.
Day 75 - 20,382
Total steps 1,153,273
Pretty happy with this. If I can keep up my 15,000 average, then by the end of the challenge I will do about One and a Half Million Steps! Right - so that is now my new goal

Awesome work Colleen and Helen!!! You are both about to tip over to the one million mark!! Probably already have by the time I have written this post - so congrats to you both!
I've been a bit absent. Really busy at work and home life has been all over the place. Trying to get my bearings most days and not doing so well at the moment.
Had a great step week and then fell in a hole for a couple of days. Trying to keep my average over 15,000 per day but have fallen a bit from where I was. Anyway, here is the last week:
Day 79 - 8,023
Day 80 - 12,584
Day 81 - 21,007
Day 82 - 3,139 (working from home, sat on bum all day at my desk)
Day 83 - 3,153 (working from home, sat on bum all day at my desk)
Day 84 - 11,629
Day 85 - 13,578
Day 86 - 20,130 (this included doing my first Body Combat class in 10 years, and a walk in the afternoon)
Day 87 - 12,274
Keep moving forward! Chin up and face the day 0 -
Just cos it will push me over the million, I am logging the last couple of days rather than waiting for the weekend :laugh:
Day 86 - 8,820
Day 87 - 14,269
Total - 1,011,044 :smokin:
Of course, you got here a while ago Skim and Colleen will be here by now too, but - wow, look at us all go!0 -
Yay for Helen!! Congrats on your million :drinker:
Oh my gosh there are only 9 days to go in the challenge!!!
I didn't do so well this last week. Been really busy with work, the days I worked from home didn't get to go for a walk as planned and no other exercise either. Even my days at the office were slow because I didn't get to go out at lunch time. it's just been one of those weeks.
Day 88 - 13,081
Day 89 - 1,883 - surely this must be my slowest day ever since I got my FitBit!!! I sat on my butt just about all day, started work at 7:30am at home and didn't finish until about 7pm. Then sat on the lounge and watched TV because I was so brain dead.
Day 90 - 7,889
Day 90 - 12,880
Total 1,359,687, my daily average has dipped just below 15,000 due to my non-effort this last week, so I'm going to have to step it up for the next 9 days to get to my goal of 1.5 million for the 100 days.0 -
Day 88 - 7914
Day 89 - 7317
Day 90 - 8020
Day 91 - 11539
Total - 1,045,834
I'd be happier if I was truly managing 10,000 steps every day but as you say Skim, some days are just too busy. While have to pick up my pace when the hiking season ends though as thats all that has lifted me :blushing:0 -

I think we are all doing fabulously!!
Congrats Colleen getting to your million!
I had a terrible week last week, but am on track again.
Day 92 - 13,534
Day 93 - 30,055 - wow!
Day 94 - so far today just hit 22,000 - but going to bed soon so it wont get much higher than this. It was a rest day but I walked the LONG way to work and then after work walked to Martin Place station via the Rocks and Circular Quay... Not exactly the most direct route but I wanted to get up to 20,000 today and it was very pretty.0 -

So in order to get all these steps done on a work day, I have been leaving early and walking to the train station (8 minutes), then walking from Town Hall to my office via Darling Harbour, which takes about 45 minutes. At lunch time I go for a 20-30 minute walk, if I have time. Then at the end of the day I walked from my office via the Rocks and Circular Quay to Martin Place Station, takes about 45-50 minutes. It's a really nice walk, but then I get home later...
All good, but I feel a bit tired today.
Today I'm working from home, so really have to make a big effort. I've been to a Spin Class this morning and my FitBit only recorded 5000 steps for ONE HOUR of Spin! ugh... So I then walked for 35 minutes to get to the 10,000 mark. I wont be able to go out at lunch time because I'm busy, but am planning to join a friend tonight for my first ever Zumba class, so that should get me up around the 20,000 step count.
Aiming for my biggest week ever this week and ending the challenge with a bang! 4 days to go!!0 -

Well done on your 30K plus day Skim.
Ive really been struggling lately. Haven't left the office during the day and have been going home to diy instead of exercise. Only the weekends have saved me.0 -
Thanks Helen! I've had weeks like that too - but we all made it to the million so I think we should be proud!0

Finished!!!
I'll have to post my final numbers later but wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for taking part :flowerforyou:0 -
Day 97 - 6592
Day 98 - 10, 004
Day 99 - 8175
Day 100 - 12, 626 (and most of them were running!!!)
Grand total - 1, 129, 7600 -
Ok, so here are my final numbers:
Day 97 - 25,146
Day 98 - 25,187
Day 99 - 20,148
Day 100 - 21,330
Total - 1,565,029
Daily Average - 15,650
And that is that!!! What a great challenge, I'm so glad I did it, I was really starting to slack off on my steps and this has got me back in the groove of walking more. I've kept up 15000 and 17000 since finishing and going to keep to over 10,000 a day. Really, all it takes is a planned walk and more incidental movement during the day, it's a good habit to keep up.
Thanks everyone for participating!!
After Maxine's Challenge finishes in 3 weeks, I'll start up another challenge to take us to the end of the year
Any suggestions?0 -
On 7 Oct it is 80 days til xmas so how about 80 days in 80 ways? Each day you have to identify something healthy you have done that day with no repeats allowed. It forces you to try new exercises/sports and recipes as you soon run out of things to list as you can only list arms workout, stairclimb etc once0

I have found this a real motivator so I am going to keep going I am also riding my stationary bike for the whole month of October to try and raise money for children's cancer0

OMG Helen, is it possible to find 80 new things???
80 days in 80 ways is a very catchy title though!!
Great work Colleen, good luck with your bike riding too.0 -
It is if it anything to support your healthy living journey - tried a new vegetable, meditated, tried a new exercise. But it could just as easily be 50 days in 50 ways, the goals is just to break you out of your rut and get to trying new things.0
