104k steps the past 4 days so averaging about 25k a day which is due to working out a lot and being active at work.

Just never was motivated yesterday. Now I know how many stepos I was taking before I started this - under 2000 per day.

I got to log my stomach bug days since my pedometer keeps the last 7 days and I would pull on my pants, with it still in the pocket to go to the bathroom and such.
Feeling better and hoping to get a walk in today.

Suzandees -- way to go for posting your steps when you were ill. That shows great dedication to this challenge!

10/14 -- 4277 -- unfortunately, I don't have a good excuse for not getting more steps in. I could have done some mall walking (the weather is kinda icky here), but I just wasn't all that motivated. Tomorrow is another day.

10/14 correction - 15,022 steps, 624 cal., 4.81 miles

I did some extra steps this evening when I had some time. I don't get the chance to get out and just walk like many of you mention so my idea is to just do laps around my house. I just walk my paths when I can and if possible try to do 10mins at a time at a good pace. It seems to work. I will note that you need to add some turns or figure eights so you're not always walking turning in the same direction or you'll get dizzy or lightheaded.

Back on track but still not back to 10,000. I should make it today.

I had a day like that a few days ago. A good nights rest should help and try again tomorrow!

It does seem to work well for you! You do lots more steps than me and I usually get at least one walk in a day.

Great job!

I'm finding that I am very inconsistent.
I am going to work really hard to get to 10 each day this week.

I do horrible on the weekends! And that's when I'm not strapped to a desk for 15 hour days. I just need to get caught up on everything and then it's pitch black out and no street lights.

10/17 - 6,987 I walk so much at work they think I'm crazy and I still can't get the numbers up.

10/17 - 6,987 I walk so much at work they think I'm crazy and I still can't get the numbers up.

10,000 is lots and lots of walking. I went for an early morning walk-jog and its now after lunch I am only at 3200. I had to take a very long walk last night to get 10,000. That reminds me I need to do some joggin in place while no one is looking...
