I finished yesterday with 14,000+ steps on my FitBit. It's lunchtime now and I'm already over 8,000 thanks to today's walk. I'm loving this challenge for keeping me motivated to walk everyday, and to go just a bit further every day too!0 -
forgot to post yesterday, but I did walk 15 minutes around the mobile home park. Today I managed to get up and make it to water aerobics class, lots of steps there0

Beautiful day today, it was really cold this morning so I had to wait till a reasonable temperature came around. I finally got a walk in when it reached 35*F.0 -
Checking in...
Yesterday I forced myself to take my lunch break and went for a walk and then walked home total 45mins. Today walked 15mins but went on free step on wii for 10 mins and stepped 843 times. Happy walking folks.0 -
04/Jan: Total Steps: 32,400....Non-Work Steps: 15-17,000+....Total Distance: 14.7 Miles.
Wow. I haven't yet managed 20000 in a day.
lol. You'll get there if you keep up the work and motivation!
Try some of the usual tips you see, like parking further away from wherever you're going for the extra few steps. Take stairs instead of elevators, and so on.
On my breakfast and lunch and evening breaks in work, for the last 5-10 mins of them, I go running up and down the stairs (some of the staff probably think i'm weird, if any notice i'm doing it xD), from the ground floor to the roof, which is 132 stairs in total. And I could do that 1-3 times depending on my mood / tiredness and how much time i have left. lol. Always taking 2 stairs/steps at a time lol.
So any stairs or hills or slopes /etc you find, walk up 'em!
I'll be updating my first post with each day's steps, if anyone's interested in following it. xD0 -
I also do bits of running throughout the day, sometimes up the 6 flights of stairs in work. Other times just short bursts of it while walking, and sometimes for a mile or two on the treadmill at the gym. (I don't carry my phone on the treadmill at the gym, so for today's steps, there's about a mile of running left out of that too)

All of my walks so far have been on the treadmill. I'm not a fan of the cold and we don't even have snow yet!0 -

I was tempted to keep going. I was really into the movie I was watching on Netflix and the time flew by! I'll finish it tomorrow though, as now I'm off to a lunch date with my sister. Finished with 13, 976 steps on my FitBit yesterday.

Same exact walk as yesterday, almost same conditions, except I did not take the 2 (5 lbs) weights with me. Fitbit tells me it is 3 miles less? WTHello? I must always remember gadgets are gadgets and just aids, they can only be programmed to do so much, but seriously....yeeesh.0 -
I'm in! I sit at a desk for 8 hours+ /day so getting in enough steps is tough. I look forward to the challenge.0

It was lashing raining today. So besides walking too and from work, no other walking for me
