    No fitbit. But I will enjoy cheering for our "Mini Step Challenge" fitbit team members this week! :smiley:

    My goals for this week:
    1. Log daily and stay within my calorie goal
    2. At least 7 hours of sleep each night
    3. At least 30 minutes of daily exercise (some type of activity)
    4. Have a menu plan and prepare meals at home
    5. Remember to take my vitamins daily

    This may seem like a long list of goals. But it's what I'm truly focused on this week in order to reach my bigger goals. So far, for 2018, I'm officially 2.5 pounds behind what my personal goal weight was for today's weigh-in. I would like to see that back on track as I move on with the rest of the year. As I've heard it said many times, "If what you're doing isn't working, then you need to change something!" So this week, I will be kicking it up a bit. I've gotten much more comfortable with the good habits that have been formed. Now it's time to take it up a notch!

    It may seem like a long list on the surface, but really it's the minimum of what we all strive for; logging, staying under, paying attention to nutrition, some exercise, and adequate rest. Good luck on your goals!!

    Charge up your devices. The six day step challenge starts Monday, February 26th!

    Do we check in daily for this or just at the end of six days?

    I would love if we could check in daily, but whatever works for you!

    If the only thing you "didn't" do today was take your vitamins, then you are having a good day!!

    I like the idea of the step challenge. I have an Apple Watch that I have used for tracking calories burned during workouts, and for a few other things, but I have never paid much attention to steps.
    Today I have 7579, which includes my workout of 30 min tabata/30 min yoga.
    I normally never wear my watch when I’m at home so it’s kinda bugging me but I think I’ll get used to it ;)

    Lots of great step totals so far! Thank you for joining me in this. It's what I needed at the moment. If there's anything you would like to see as a "challenge" because it's what you need at the moment, please just let me know!!

    Hello, I have been AWFUL not logging in everyday. I just saw the step challenge and want in. A day late but I'm still going to do this and hopefully it will get me back on track. I wear my Fitbit every day so can give you my step count for Monday. Unfortunately, I gave myself a break on Monday so don't have very many. It's supposed to be an awesome day today, sunny and warm, so plan to get out and get some steps. Good luck everyone - let's see those step totals posted here. Remember, the more steps you get, the more smart calories you get.
