Wow, we are cranking! And Harkeyvalley, yes of course WalMart walking counts! There were days here when it was so hot I went to Fred Meyer and walked all around the store and up and down the frozen food aisles.
Tee hee, I grew up way back in the sticks of Missouri so I know ALL about that horrible dust on those country roads. Yikes... for SURE you can't walk there!!!
I am pretty bummed at the moment LOL... I GAINED back three pounds! I just can't lose. But I got in 74 minutes of aerobic walking
Personal total = 593
1500 goal - 593 = 907 still to go
harkey valley -- For me personally, walking in Walmart or a mall could count, but I really only if I am doing it continuously. I don't count any of the shopping I do, because there's too much stop and start...
Misti In Seattle (and I think Ammi) and I have the same pedometer, and it counts "aerobic" steps. Steps at a certain pace that last for at least 10 min. I generally record my minutes based on what it says! That way I don't count meandering time.
You are free to count what you want!
Nightkatt -- just count it! Don't worry about how little it seems like!
I got in 22 more min at the gym weightlifting tonight!

Yes, I only count aerobic steps too... but during the super hot weather here I intentionally went to a big store and walked all around the edges of it inside and also at times up and down the frozen food/cooler aisles. So it CAN be continuous walking in a store or mall if you plan it that way.
