14,000 steps, cheese and crackers! That's amazing, honestly. The most steps I've gone so far was on the 2nd of this month when I did the 11k. You're doing so great, Dance. You're honestly my biggest inspiration here on the boards.

I was thinking about going for a walk tonight, but I'm not feeling good all of a sudden. I'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't have eaten that bagel for dinner I'm probably going to go to bed early because of it, but I promise to report my steps first-thing in the morning. Goodnight everyone!

Thanks Lydia. Sometimes my "ambition" can become my undoing LOL. I tend to get totally into it and then not keep up the pace and give up! But this time I am determined to stick with it!!! Having to come here and report helps LOL. It is kind of disgusting because I KNOW I walked a LOT farther on Saturday and my old ped only gave me 9500 steps but oh well!

Hope you feel better soon!!! Take care of yourself and get some rest!

I know what you mean. I've had the same problem in the past, but this time... this time is completely different. I've stuck to my plan (more or less) for 3 months now, which is longer than I've ever stuck to a plan before. The thing is, I KNOW that I'll be able to keep this up forever. It's gotten to the point where it isn't even really "hard' for me now. It's nearly become second-nature to me in just 3 months! It's great to be able to come here to you all and lay down my burdens. I think my family's noticing that I'm a bit less crabby now

Tummy's still not feeling great this morning. I think I'm going to take it easy as far as food goes... probably make today a veggie day. A veggie day, for me, is where I eat only vegetables and fruits until 5pm, then I can resume normal eating. I do it about once a month when I'm not feeling well, and I tend to feel SO much better the next day. Also, if it doesn't start raining by the time I'm ready, I'm going to head for a walk around the neighborhood. We've been living here for a week now, but I still haven't gone further than the mailbox (around the corner)! So I need to get out there and walk walk walk

Oh, and before I forget... haha. My steps for yesterday totalled 4249! Not bad considering I did almost nothing except mow the lawn yesterday

Yay, good for both of you!! Lydia, hope you are feeling better soon.

One fortunate thing for me I guess... I PREFER walking in the rain and even at work I go out walking with the rain coming down LOL

My total today is 12,301... it is only 3:45 but I am home and don't plan to do a whole lot more LOL. My grand total is 177,266.

Team total so far is 513,174! Hey, we did it... we are over halfway!!! Yay. Still to go is 486,826.

Oy, I was so lazy yesterday. I only went 3129 steps! I'm disappointed in myself. I didn't even go for the walk, I just lazed around the house all day. Argh! *hits herself*

Sossy I haven't had a chance to updayt since Monday. Been a sort of crazy week here . Haven't had a chance to catch up on reading all your posts, either, but I just KNOW you're all doing super well!!!

I'm pressed for time right now, so I'll fill in later, but I just had to share my last few days' counts:

Monday March 6 = 10,526 (I think I posted that one already, Dance, so don't double-count it if I did)

Tuesday, March 7 = 10,684 (but are you ready for the next one???)

Wednesday, March 8 = 16,686 That's my highest EVER!!!

Grand total contributed from me so far = 166,291 (hehe and 10% of that was done yesterday! )

Will catch up later in the day! Have a great one, folks! Keep steppin'!

Hey great job everybody... it's not about how MANY steps we get each day; just so we keep at it. LOL I can say that because today I only got 6,432. But I didn't go walking at all... that is just from running around on my job and stuff.

Everybody ready for the impressive totals!!!?? Here we go!

Steps completed = 563,449

Still to go = 436,551

We are on the downhill!!! Go team go!!!

Yesterday I did a bit better. 6722 steps. Unfortunately, most of my steps were made while searching for one of our birds that escaped I had no luck finding her. We've had her for more than 10 years now. Quite sad.

I can't believe how quickly these steps are adding up! My goodness, we're all doing so well. I hope you all are enjoying this as much as I am!

I hear you on the appointments, Michele. Seems like I had a full appointment calendar for the past few days as well. I think you've done great, though! Congratulations!

Lydia, I'm so sorry to hear about your lost budgie. I hope she's just stretching her wings a bit and will eventually fly back home to you.

Hehe Dance, you do so well, even when you're not making a concerted effort! You go, girl!

Yesterday, as expected, went back to normal for me. 10,748, bring my total to 177,039. Nice way to end the week, because weekend's coming up and you know what happens to me then! Slacker!

Enjoy, everyone! TGIF!

Good job, everybody! Hey stop feeling badly because you didn't get more steps... you are all doing just great! Lydia, so sorry to hear about your bird!!

Lena.... hmmmmm I show your total as 192,221 through Thursday... must be a mistake somewhere. Strange as it has always added up before. I will dig around for it more later.

Oh I was really close to 10,000 tonight when I got home so walked around the apartment to roll myself over the hump.

Lena... are you SURE about your totals?

I show you started with 32,556 and then added for the next week 59,348. After that your totals submitted are:

6,856
10,355
10,199
11,383
8,898
1,792
2,008
10,526
10,684
16,868
10,748

That comes out to 192,221. Please help me figure out where the error is. I went back through the entire thread and checked what you said and checked it against my database and even recopied your steps into a new page and added again and still get the same. LOL but I AM horrid at math!! But can usually do just fine with Excel.
