Welcome to 2023!
It is January 2023 and it’s a great time to JumpStart the year and focus on some new goals ... a diet or exercise change, less drinking or smoking, going to bed earlier, learning a new skill … But, in this case, commit for just a month and see how it goes. You can do anything for a month, and if it still makes sense on January 31, try to make it ordinary come February. Or adapt it a bit.
How It Works
The primary purpose of these monthly challenges is to keep track of your daily step goals for the month; though many of us track other things as well, like body weight exercises, sleep, trips to the gym, logging food, etc. This is not a competition to see who can do the most of whatever, instead it is a challenge to measure your consistency. So whether you do 1k, 5k, 10k or even 40k steps a day, this is measuring how many days out of the monthly total you can hit your goal.
Some might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and others might have a variable goal throughout the week, (and some might even plan days off!) for example.
Monday -> Friday = 10k steps a day
Sat & Sun = “6k steps a day,” or “not tracking”
Regardless of how you structure your daily goals, the only thing that matters for the monthly challenge is whether or not you reach what you set out to do.
Suggested Posting Format
1) Post either your constant or variable step goal.
2) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved out of the monthly minimum and or monthly total
Picture Scavenger Hunt — 3 pictures
The theme this month is What's That? Maybe a close up of something common, or an unusual plant, or a different angle. Sometimes What's That will be obvious to us, and other times you might have to tell us a story about it. Use your imagination.
Posting
Although you certainly don’t have to post daily, you’ll likely stay closer to what you set out to do by updating the thread several times/week
Injury Notice
If you injure yourself during the month and need to scale back due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your goal for that period. If you normally do 10k steps a day but pull a hamstring and decide to do minimal walking (2k steps a day), then all you have to do is change your goal.

Here are my goals for this year. I hope I do better this year than I did last year. Especially the weight. I had gained back just about all that I had lost, but I intend (?) to change that. I have to lose the weight, it can only help my breathing, and certainly will not hurt it! I hope you all wish me luck in your minds.

walk more than 20 minutes per day 2/31
