I decided (at my husband's encouragement) to do an Excel spreadsheet to see how many steps I have taken in 2006. WOW!!! 745895 as of March 11!!! I am SOOOOO psyched! I might even get to a MILLION before Easter! Aiming for 10000 steps a day pays off!
Wow that is great, Michelle! I wish I had started keeping track earlier than I did!!! I started in the middle of March and am over 215,000. I plan to keep it up.
You are going to make it to a million all by yourself!!!!!!
Man, the last few days have been real slackers for me. I haven't really felt like doing much of anything... yet somehow I'm still managing to lose weight! I've lost a pound in a half in the last week. Woo hoo! Ahem. Anywho!
Yesterday I walked 3380 steps, bringing my total up to 96,747. I am totally going to hit 100k today. I'm going for a walk later, whether I like it or not!
I did go for a walk today, and boy was I glad I did! I walked 5500 steps on that walk, going 2 miles. I've been doing a few things around the house as well, so my total will be VERY nice today
Man, yesterday was SUCH a good day! I felt incredibly good. Between the 2-mile walk, housework, and weights, I was really energized... until 9:45 when I crashed and burned and fell asleep
Yesterday's total was 9,530 steps, bringing my total for March up to a whopping 106,277! I'm playing with the big girls now
Woohoo look at us go!!! Definitely no grass growing under our feet!
Lydia, congrats on breaking 100K!!! You're doing swell!
Michele, you're definitely on track for a Million for Easter! Great job!
Dance, fantastic day, eh? Nearly 15K! Yippee!
As for me, my contribution for yesterday (March 13) is 10,181, bringing my total to 222,841. I'm planning to treadmill through the whole hour of American Idol tonight, so, depending on what I can get before the show comes on, today has potential to be a biggie! We'll see!
Keep steppin', everyone -- we might break the million before Springtime rolls in!
Keep Walking! Maybe we can walk to China or Italy!
Great Job everyone I loved the spreadsheet idea and I've borrowed it
Another idea, which I stole from when I went to Weight Watchers, though it would involve a little math, is to "walk across the country" so you start at one coast and track the steps/miles across the country. Perhaps it would not translate as well because we are all from difference places. Of course, we could always walk across some great foreign land like Italy.
Anyways, thanks for this post, it's been a great way to see how those extra things like taking the stairs, parking further away, etc. can really add up. Even on days when I haven't officially exercised I've tried to get that number up, it's all about the awareness and accountability for me.
So I've been great about walking and exercising in general but horrible about posting, so here's another weeks worth of steps.
Total number of steps to date: 92,047
Trying to consistently get to that 10K a day mark!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK EVERYONE!!!
