    I'm in. I did some walking on 1st August carrying my 5month old to our baby programme and back about 30 minutes in total. I did lot of walking around the house too that day, cleaning etc.
    2nd August I had a really lazy day however I manage to do just over 7000 steps on my fitbit just walking round the house making bottles, going up and down the stairs so was please with myself. I also brought some walking shoes which are coming 3rd August hoping they come in the .or nine so I can go for a walk carrying my 5 month old.
    Wednesdays will be easier to do longer walks as I haven't got my 3 year old and he has started copying his grandad saying his back hurts when he walks. 5th August the place I go do for baby programme is starting up a walk for moms round the local area I am hoping to go to which should help with walking too.

    This is a great challenge.

    Okay, I'm in. I try to work out at least 5 times per week and walking is usually part of my workout if not the entire thing. At the gym I will use a cardio machine (treadmill, elliptical, etc) to warm up and cool down before lifting. I usually use Endomondo when I walk. I don't have it synched to MFP because the calories burned are so far off on that app. I just bought a FitBit so beginning today I will note my total steps.

    8/1: 3.5 miles

    I'm in. Sounds like fun.

    Numbers below may look a little off due to the fact that I use a Suunto Ambit 3 for the miles during my morning walk, and a Fitbit for the all day steps.

    Aug. 1 - 4.19 miles | 11,494 steps
    Aug. 2 - 5.73 miles | 10,648 steps
    Aug. 3 - 6.33 miles |

    Day 3 - steps -10,444 | miles - 4.18
    Walked round the house today wearing my new walking shoes in so they won't rub me when I go out to use them. Last 10 minutes I was stepping on a spot widening my leg space and then bringing the back into to put impact on my thighs just to get to 10,000 steps.
