All of our bolded steppers set a goal and met it, based on their average steps per day!
That is a strong start to the month (well, for everyone not me)! Welcome to the team @FitBee9! Look at you, rocking the most steps in one day on your first week!
We have five weeks in this challenge, so 2 million seems like an easy goal. Can we hit 2.5?

Someone shared this on a Stridekick group and I thought I'd share it here. I checked it out and, yes, this is how pedometers classify activity levels.
30 minutes of moderate activity, such as walking, is around 3000-4000 steps. I'm going to start thinking about what I do in 30 min chunks and see if it helps me be more consistent.Have a happily active weekend

Following on from my previous post about activity levels, I thought I'd take a look at what I actually do in blocks of time (according to recently recorded walks) and I did a morning workout (general exercises and hand weights) to give myself a personal guide.
I hope it's useful for you too.

I didn't get to weigh in at home so I am using my weight from the Dr last night. I had an appointment for my weight. She wants to try me on a different med and see if that will help me but not sure if my insurance will cover it. She also wants me to lift some weights. I got home Thursday night and have been cleaning my house and doing laundry ever since. This is the only weekend I have free. Later today we are either going to the fair or the carnival that's in town. I do have to get food shopping also. Being gone 2 weeks takes a lot to get caught up on.2

Weigh-in-Saturday
Previous weight: 185.3
Current weight: 185.3
Food:Apparently my brain decided that if I don't track or look at my food, nothing will happen. Turns out that's not accurate. I had weight loss (trend weight) early in the week, then climbed back up to where I started. I have been eating delicious food (and I stop when I realize I don't like something) and I'm happy about that, but I have not been monitoring my portions. I think I made some great decisions this week and had a bit of a trade off while I practiced a new skill.
Exercise:I only did a few short walks this week, but my average number of steps have been increasing. 5 days out of 7, I made 6000 steps and the other two made my goal of 4000. I will bump up to 5000 steps a day for the next week. And tomorrow I go on an overnight hike which I'm super excited about!
Mindset:I've been feeling a lot of stress over the last week with applying for a faculty position, getting the offer, and negotiating the salary. That has definitely taken priority over everything else. I've been putting hours into lesson planning, negotiating, scheduling, and comparing opportunities. It's been a brain slog.
I'm also considering going back into the doctorate program that I took a leave of absence from during COVID. Discounted tuition is part of the salary negotiations, and I'll make more money when I have the degree, but... I'm also exhausted and on the verge of burning out, so something's got to give.
Medical:I had a lymph node biopsy this week to check for cancer, and it came back with no malignant cells found, which yay! But the sample also had very few viable cells, so... inconclusive?
It was lovely to catch up and read everyone's messages. I rarely post or "react" to individual posts, but know that I appreciate when y'all share!

Our brains want to be in control. But they aren't. Weirdly, there's some research that gut health impacts brain health...so our stomachs have more control than our brains!
I've considered grad school a couple times but if I'm this tired not doing school, how would I ever manage to get school work done too?!? I feel your pain.
You should totally join the step challenge! You don't have to post daily or even by the day--you could just post the end of week number.
Congratulations on the positive test (even if it is somewhat inconclusive)! It isn't bad, so that's good!4 -
Today I went food shopping. When I got home I washed all fruit and veggies, cut them up, made a huge salad, pasta salad, chicken, meatballs and protein balls. Hopefully with this small step in meal prepping I will be off to a good start. Vacation is now officially done and back to work tomorrow.6
