    I'm in - I have decided not to use the car to drive into work from Tuesday, all that up and down the Tube will do me good. I will dust off the old fit bit too!

    The annual Resolution Run was yesterday. I did the longer version of it (4 miles), but walk/jogged it. I am returning to running after a year long hiatus :(. Back at it now though.

    01/01/2016 - walked 1.88 miles - 40 mins
    01/02/2016 - walked 2.2 miles - 45 mins

    I almost didn't, but then I wouldn't have been able to update here today. We had a long day at my son's wrestling meet and then dinner with family, and although I felt like being lazy tonight, I decided I needed to get my walk in anyway! I'm so glad I did!

    I'm in. Yesterday I walked 3.80 miles in an hour and 20 minutes. Today I walked 4 miles in an hour and 24 minutes. I'm not sure how accurate my pedometer is. I mostly go by time and just try to get in an hour a day at least.

    Been away from MFP but trying to get back on the saddle.
    I'm excited!! Is there anyone who'll be using runkeeper or pacer to track their steps?

    OK Mel, I'm assuming being chuffed is a good thing? I love that word! Congrats on your day!

    I met and exceeded yesterday's goal and walked 12,175 steps.

    Today will be more laid back and is my day off from aerobic activity, so 8,000 should be realistic; however, I'm going for 9,000. Wish me luck!

    Yesterday I managed to take nearly 4K steps. My goal for Jan is 5K consistently. I am so going to crush my goal. :) I am using a fitbit to keep track.

    Instead of ringing in the new year, we are walking in the new year...

    <3 !*! HAPPY NEW YEAR !*! <3

    *!* JANUARY 2016 Walking Challenge *!*
    This is continued from previous Monthly Walking Challenges, just starting off with a new year *YAY*. Each month has its own thread.
    *** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s keep each other motivated****

    Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in. :)

    Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.

    Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long, this is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise every day, and keep an eye on each other. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles kilometers), time, etc.

    RULES:
    *no bullying
    *no pressure
    *just walking, dancing, stepping, snow shoeing if you like, hiking, anything to get you moving.
    *just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
