    Using a Fitbit

    1 - 5,344 Drove for about 8 hours with family. Back very sore.
    2 - 21,238 Hike with family
    3 - 16.615
    4 - 18,057
    5 - 10,425
    6 - 23,409
    7 - 15,753
    8 - 6,446 Another long drive as vacation comes to an end.
    9 - 5,618 Busy with work; body struggling with the 4.5 hour time difference between here and Oregon.
    10 - 3,613 Busy with work
    11 - 3,502 Feeling lousy
    12 - 20,186 Trying to snap out of funk by hitting the gym; hoping it doesn't hit me back…
    13 - 3,272 Still not feeling great
    14 - 15,166 Feeling much better; go to gym.
    15 - 8,000 Went for a long walk and run with dog, then realized I had forgotten to take my Fitbit (pedometer). Grrr!
    16 - 13,232 Gym plus playing with my kids
    17 - 20,234
    18 - 12,404 First day of attempting to meet new goal of 13,000 steps, and already I failed! However, it could have been much worse; as of 8PM I had about 800 steps (yucky weather day) and was feeling pretty useless, so I went to the gym and stayed there 'till I reached 12,000.
    19 - 13,008 Another poor day that I attempted to salvage by lots of late night running after I put the kids to bed.
    20 - 15,161 Gym, long walk home from gym, errands, playing baseball with my son for 1.5 hours. Feet are sore.
    21 - 7,607 Hmm... Not sure what happened... The dog ate my homework?
    22 - 14,475
    23 - 20,337 trying to make up for the relatively step count on Aug 21. Gym, several hours of baseball with my kids, and a bunch of errands.
    24 - 14,423 Gym plus errands
    25 - 14,255 Baseball, running, walking, shopping…
    26 - 17,511 Ran for 60 minutes with no stops (for the first time in my entire life!), plus other gym stuff and life stuff.
    27 - 15,115 Yet another day in which I didn't get many steps until after 8PM, at which point I went on a 2.5 hour walking/running tour of this city…
    28 - 14,171 Continuation of recent pattern; as of 7PM I had under 3,000 steps, so went to gym, plus a walk.
    29 - 14,044 Some shopping for back to school supplies for my kids, walked one son to trumpet lesson (he wanted to take the car, but I explained that I was required to walk him there in order to meet my daily step goal; I carried his trumpet and music books as an added incentive), then power walked around that neighbourhood during the lesson, then walk back home. Then, late at night, the whole family took part in a "haunted hike" through the spooky downtown area of this city.

    Average: 13,262
    Total: 384,604

    Goal: Didn't start out with one; generally, it's a minimum of 10,000 per day, but that got messed up a bit with all the travel and the existential funk I was in for a few days.

    New Goals (as of Aug. 18):
    400,000 steps for August.
    Daily minimum for remaining days: 13,000 steps.
    Bring daily average for the entire month up from 11,806 on 13 Aug to at least 13,000 by the end of the month.

    Observation: Taking part in this challenge has compelled me to do lots of late night running and walking in order to meet my daily goals and avoid public embarrassment. Which, assuming I am not damaging myself, is a good thing, I guess…

    I like to think of it more as public encouragement rather than embarrassment. I know this challenge does get me out for evening walk most nights. My dog loves this challenge :) She never eat my homework ;)

    Yes, encouragement and support are what these challenges are all about, for sure... However, in my case, as unreasonable as it sounds, some part of the motivation is a desire to avoid the disappointment of not meeting a publicly-stated goal, even though it's no big deal if I don't, since I don't actually know anyone here! Mine is probably an oddly-wired brain, but at least this has helped motivate me to get off the couch and be more active than I otherwise would have been, and that's good.

    Thanks again for starting this challenge!

    Thanks again for starting this challenge!

    I like to imagine that I'm on a team. Football teams play football; debate teams debate. This is a step count team; we count steps. The more steps I count, the better the team is. GO TEAM!!

    I think I would like to try this for September. I already have a step counter and try to go over 10,000 a day but I am not real faithful to doing it everyday.

    I think I would like to try this for September. I already have a step counter and try to go over 10,000 a day but I am not real faithful to doing it everyday.

    Everyone here does what they can so do not be afraid to just step right in. Our September challenge is here

    Goal: 10,000 minimum steps per day / 350,000 steps in August. Bonus goal: One day of at least

    Month Total: 350,488
    Daily Average: 11,683

    Met my goal total with one day to spare! I'm heading for vacation (Florida!) in about an hour so I'm not sure of my step count for the next 10 days. Visiting family, so no major walking at a place like Disney World or Busch Gardens. I will try my darnedest to get my steps in though!

    Using a Fitbit

    1 - 5,344 Drove for about 8 hours with family. Back very sore.
    2 - 21,238 Hike with family
    3 - 16.615
    4 - 18,057
    5 - 10,425
    6 - 23,409
    7 - 15,753
    8 - 6,446 Another long drive as vacation comes to an end.
    9 - 5,618 Busy with work; body struggling with the 4.5 hour time difference between here and Oregon.
    10 - 3,613 Busy with work
    11 - 3,502 Feeling lousy
    12 - 20,186 Trying to snap out of funk by hitting the gym; hoping it doesn't hit me back…
    13 - 3,272 Still not feeling great
    14 - 15,166 Feeling much better; go to gym.
    15 - 8,000 Went for a long walk and run with dog, then realized I had forgotten to take my Fitbit (pedometer). Grrr!
    16 - 13,232 Gym plus playing with my kids
    17 - 20,234
    18 - 12,404 First day of attempting to meet new goal of 13,000 steps, and already I failed! However, it could have been much worse; as of 8PM I had about 800 steps (yucky weather day) and was feeling pretty useless, so I went to the gym and stayed there 'till I reached 12,000.
    19 - 13,008 Another poor day that I attempted to salvage by lots of late night running after I put the kids to bed.
    20 - 15,161 Gym, long walk home from gym, errands, playing baseball with my son for 1.5 hours. Feet are sore.
    21 - 7,607 Hmm... Not sure what happened... The dog ate my homework?
    22 - 14,475
    23 - 20,337 trying to make up for the relatively step count on Aug 21. Gym, several hours of baseball with my kids, and a bunch of errands.
    24 - 14,423 Gym plus errands
    25 - 14,255 Baseball, running, walking, shopping…
    26 - 17,511 Ran for 60 minutes with no stops (for the first time in my entire life!), plus other gym stuff and life stuff.
    27 - 15,115 Yet another day in which I didn't get many steps until after 8PM, at which point I went on a 2.5 hour walking/running tour of this city…
    28 - 14,171 Continuation of recent pattern; as of 7PM I had under 3,000 steps, so went to gym, plus a walk.
    29 - 14,044 Some shopping for back to school supplies for my kids, walked one son to trumpet lesson (he wanted to take the car, but I explained that I was required to walk him there in order to meet my daily step goal; I carried his trumpet and music books as an added incentive), then power walked around that neighbourhood during the lesson, then walk back home. Then, late at night, the whole family took part in a "haunted hike" through the spooky downtown area of this city.
    30 - 14,631

    Average: 13,307
    Total: 399,235

    Goal: Didn't start out with one; generally, it's a minimum of 10,000 per day, but that got messed up a bit with all the travel and the existential funk I was in for a few days.

    New Goals (as of Aug. 18):
    400,000 steps for August.
    Daily minimum for remaining days: 13,000 steps.
    Bring daily average for the entire month up from 11,806 on 13 Aug to at least 13,000 by the end of the month.

    Observation 1: Taking part in this challenge has compelled me to do lots of late night running and walking in order to meet my daily goals and avoid public embarrassment. Which, assuming I am not damaging myself, is a good thing, I guess…

    Observation 2: Only a few hundred steps to go to meet my 400,000 step goal today, but I'm going to try to meet my 13,000 step goal for today anyway. Because I'm a maniac. Yes.

    Tip: When I'm out with the whole family in the car, I sometimes get them to drop me a few miles from home so I can get some extra steps in. The kids think this is a hoot!
