    8/1- 18,400
    8/2- 19,300

    I work a job where I walk a lot. I’m a CNA. So the days I work I have a lot of steps. My days off is where I struggle to get 10,000 steps. I can say this challenge has made me park a little further in the parking lot when shopping yesterday.

    In for this one. Am going to aim for a goal of 300,000 for the month and report the end of the week on total of the week. For me, some days are higher and some lower, but my overall goal is to be active and strive for some consistency.

    This month, I would like to try 15'000 a day (on average). Disclaimer: I am not working this month. Some days are going to be really high. Usually I struggle to get in 10 000 steps.

    01.08: 18 036 steps
    02.08: 15 056 steps
    03.08: 20 252 steps
    04.08: 18 027 steps
    05.08: 17 541 steps
