Jumping January 2018 Step Challenge

[Baltoscott]

Welcome to 2018.  It is a new year, and time to get another monthly challenge underway

How It Works:

The primary purpose of this challenge is to keep track of your daily step goals for January 2018 (though as you will see below, other goals for the month are just fine). This is not a competition to see who can do the most amount of steps, 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 31 for the month can you hit your goal.

Some of you might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and some might have a variable goal throughout the week, for example.
Monday -> Friday = 10k steps a day
Sat & Sun = 6k steps a day
Regardless of how you structure your daily goals, the only thing that matters for this 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 / 31.

Optional
3) Post either your constant or variable (anything you want) goal.
4) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved / 31.

The optional items can really be anything. Running, biking, weight lifting, food goals, etc. Some will add a goal that is not daily - ie. wanting to do so many strength training workouts in the month - so you might be aiming for a number that is less than 31 for some goals -- maybe 5, 10, or 15. Really, it's just completely open.

Injury Notice
If you injure yourself during the month and decide scale back the number of steps due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your daily step 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.

I work from home on Mondays, but it was warm enough this morning (19 degrees) that I decided to bike to the gym to do my weights.  That helped me get me steps done early for once.  May break 20K today, and probably will tomorrow when I head to DC for work in even warmer weather.

With gray weather, hence not much Vit D, I have become lethargic. I found it hard to get going today, but having to report to y’all gave me enough incentive to keep going. My fitbit said 3 floors, but I know I did 4.

@WendyB -- The reviews are kind of mixed on Star Wars, but I saw before reading any of the negative stuff and liked it.  

[WendyB]

I didn't read any reviews @Baltoscott

But I liked it a lot as well.

[Jotex]

I agree with @WendyB - I loved Star Wars The Last Jedi! I have all of the Star Wars films, and have pre-ordersd this one so I can see it again whenever I want!
