    Looking forward to tomorrow to start fresh!
  • Way to go to ALL who participated here!

    especially those who surpassed their goals, weekend boater and workinglikeadog!

    thanks for the kudos!!

    It was the darned snow shoveling that put me over my goal minutes, LOL, I really wanted all the minutes to be planned, designated workout dvd's but that's life.

    onward to April!!
  • Now that I have the final numbers for yesterday, I can update with my monthly results for March. I ended up meeting BOTH additional goals after I surpassed my initial goal of 310,000 steps on the 22nd, and hit 450,425 steps overall, so I am happy with my progress this month!

    EDIT: So, by calculation of the average stride length, that means I walked about 225.2 miles in March!
