March Madness -- Monthly Step Challenge
Time for a new monthly challenge. I may add some variation related to the collage basketball tournament coming up this month in the US, but for now just the standard stuff.
How It Works:
The primary purpose of these challenges has been to keep track of your daily step goals for the month; though we tend to 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, 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.
The March Madness Variation.
Will there be one? I have an idea perculating, but thoughts are welcome.
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
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.

March 31
15K step/day: 31/31
1 pushup/day: 31/31
16 weight-lifting days: 16/16
12 6+hour sleep days: 10/12
Did good this month. A little short on the sleep days, but I only got 6 of them in February. Blew it last night because Jane got us last minute tickets to see Jimmy Buffet. It was fun, but up too late.
On to April!

Weight loss in March 8.8 lbs
I didn't try for a high day yesterday, really. I walked to work. Then the light designer I think was trying to rope me into being his ladder monkey. I got a lot of steps there. Then I walked home, and later walked the dog. Then we had too many people for the car last night so I walked home from my MIL's and all the kids walked with me so we ended up with only the driver for the car!
I have to go do some more calculations to figure out my April target
