I won't have any steps for today, I went to the beach and I didn't want my pedometer to be stolen, wet, or crushed. So I decided to leave it at home. But I did walk today along the beach. Felt like forever walking back to my towels

We're having a wicked storm here in the northwest. It's been more like November than June for the last few days. Sheesh!!

I reposted the chart on this page so we don't have to flip back and forth.
I'm not doing so good so far..

well as you can tell, it was another work day for me. Monday: 16588. I probably would have gotten more but like Beckster said, it was raining hard and windy and storming the whole day so I got to slack a bit and spent a couple hours of my 8 hour shift inside, out of the rain!
My real challange is tomorrow - I have the whole day off and no plans and I tend to spend the whole time in bed on my computer. I will try to get out and walking though.Last edited on 10 June 2008 05:33 am by butterflybabe

haha in 2 hours this morning it said I only did 55 steps... even though I was cleaning up and sorting things out around the house and doing laundry (down 2 flihts of stairs).... so I realized that on my pj pants, it clips on too low (I guess my pj pants are low rise? or how i wear them since they are baggy) so it doesn't count it properly. good to know.
Well it made me get dressed into normal clothes! haha
Just something to watch out for!Last edited on 10 June 2008 08:52 pm by butterflybabe

Really? On mine I have to wear it low or doesn't work. Like the other day I was wearing cottony drawstring shorts and I had them around my belly buttonish, and it didn't count any steps at all. But if I keep it closer to my hips-ish, it works just right...

strange!
well as predicted I haven't walked much today. It is 8pm and I still have under 5000 steps. Usually I wouldn't care but now thanks to this challenge, I don't want to be so much under my goal so I am going to walk to the mailbox and mail a letter that I planned to mail on my drive to work tomorrow :)

I didn't reach my goal but that walk definitely helped. I walked to the mailbox and then kept on going for a bit longer before I turned around. I am pleased with my result for today. Not bad for a day off and not seeing my bf (I am usually more active with him because he loves going for walks and hikes and stuff)

Today I also had nothing to do.... so I went with my husband to school. He has class from 1-3. I went walking for about an hour and a half and then went to the library to read some HEALTH MAGAZINES! So, if you know of someone who is going to town.... tag along and do some walking & sightseeing!
=======================================
Here are some TIPS to increase your STEPS!
Work
· Get off the bus earlier and walk farther to work.
· Take several 10-min walks during the day.
· Choose the furthest entrance to your building.
· Host “walking meetings.”
· Walk to a restroom, soda machine or copy machine on a
different floor.
· Take the long way when walking to meetings.
· Walk a few laps on your floor during breaks.
· Walk during your lunch break.
· Walk to a colleague’s office rather than send an email.
· Take 5 minute wa lking breaks from you computer.
· Park farther away.
· Take the stairs rather than the elevator or the escalator.
· Start a walking club with your coworkers.
· Walk while using a speaker phone.
· Get up and move at least once every 30 minutes.
Out and About
· Park farther away in store parking lots.
· Always return your grocery cart to the designated storage
area.
· Avoid elevators and escalators—take the stairs.
· Walk—don’t drive—for trips less than one mile.
· Walk at the airport while waiting for your plane.
· Take several trips to unload your groceries from you car.
· Avoid drive-through restaurants—get out of your car and
walk inside.
Friends and Family
· Plan active vacations.
· Make a family walk a habit.
· Kids can take their parents for a walk.
· Kids can volunteer to walk their dog or the neighbor
· Do a family challenge to see who can get the most st
in a day.
· Reward kids/family members for meeting step goals
· Take an after-dinner walk with the family.
· Walk while talking on a cordless phone.
· Walk during the commercials on TV.
· Move at least once every 30 minutes.
· Occasionally walk to the TV to change the channel.
· Turn off the TV and participate in family activity.

No problem Bekster.... I always think of ways to do extra steps. I even jog in place sometimes when I'm bored, or doing house cleaning.... every little step counts!

If I don't go to the gym, my steps are generally really low.

yay I made my goal. for Thursday I had 10027 steps!
I only bought my new pedometer at 3:30pm but then I dog walked in the afternoon and walked with my bf in the evening so I still made it. Well I was about 200 steps short right before bed so when I was brushing my teeth I was pacing back and forth in the hall and going up and down the stairs to reach my goal! yay

I know exactly what you mean!! It is so much easier to get all my steps if I will just take twenty minutes and go walk on my treadmill!!

Friday: 17349 steps
Tomorrow (day off) I am going with my bf to a huge park along the water that has a 31mile trail along the coast (we won't be walking quite that far) but when I went with him a couple months ago, we were walking for about 3-4 hours straight so hopefully that will be the case tomorrow too so I will do well on a day off

| Been in Atlanta on a business trip. Monday was just over 10000, Tuesday 6800, Wednesday 8600. Nice to be back, weight stayed the same which I count as good with the irregular hours and eating.

Hey guys--
Unless it will really really hurt someone's feelings, I am going to scrap the chart for this week. It's my fault for not making completely sure I had someone lined up to do it. But, I left Wednesday, got home last night, and I'm leaving again tomorrow til next Friday. Can anyone be in charge of the chart for next week?

Hmmm...it kinda looks like the challenge died!! Where is everyone?
Well, I didn't wear my pedometer at all at camp. But, I walked a ton. Probably, like 20,000 steps. Or more. I dont know. But I went on hikes monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday mornings, as well as tuesday, thursday, and friday afternoons. Good hikes, very enjoyable, very many steps. Plus walking over the camp, to class to my cabin, to the rec hall, mess hall, bath house...I walked a ton!! Up at five thrity every morning, in bed no early than 10:30. It was an amazing week.
