New month, new challenge!

Our challenge is to do 10,000 steps in a day. You can do this for any one day or try for the entire month. Jump right in at any time! You can set a lower or higher goal if you wish. Our main goal is to keep activate every day!

It's easy to join - Just post here to begin! You can also jump in anytime during the month, too.

You will need a step counter to keep track of your steps and then post your results daily here.

Welcome to our Monthly Step Challenge!

    Thanks for opening up this month's challenge! I'm ready. I increased my step goal on my Fitbit about a week ago to 12,000/day. So that's what I'm going to strive for.

    Sometimes you just gotta bust a move!

    No set goal this month, as I've seen that November has been the start of the "nasty" season, as I call it. I leave for work in the dark and when I get home, I have barely an hour of daylight left, so no time for long walks in the woods, except for the weekend. I despise walking in my neighborhood, especially if it's not only dark but also cold and possibly rainy, so there's no way I can meet a 10,000 steps a day goal (I don't have access to indoor walking or a treadmill). Yes, I'm a wimp, but walking in nasty weather really doesn't empower me or make me feel all proud about myself. I just hate it. So, let's see, how much I can still get done in December ...

    Dec 1 - 7,245

    I am in again. Keeping my goal at 10,000 per day average...I know there will still be days when I don't get that many, so hoping it will be my average.

    November steps: 312, 435 = average 10,414/day
    Date--steps--total--average
    12-1: 7,743--7,743--7,743

    I'm going to give this a shot. Starting today. I've been averaging 5-6K steps a day for a while. Time to kick that up. Hopefully posting here will make me be accountable for getting in 10K steps each day.

    12/6- 1,662 at this point I’m just trying to get up to more daily and hope to reach the 10k a day within a week. I also forgot to add that I use an app on my phone to track and don’t always have it on me so it’s not 100% accurate.

    A week late but I am in. I have logged in almost 10,000 steps each day . Starting yesterday I have added another challenge to myself (no desserts/chocolate- an attempt to control my ever increasing sugar cravings) which I will also track here. Much needed thread and thank you.
    Dec 1- 12,338
    Dec 2- 1702 (not good)
    Dec 3-11,289
    Dec 4 - 14571
    Dec 5-9587
    Dec 6-10,056 - (No dessert. Salad dressing was sweet and it also had candied nuts)
