Midway July 2022 — Step Challenge and Photo Scavenger Hunt

Can you believe it? 2022 is already half gone. Best get yourself outside before you miss the whole year! And a reminder that if you happen to see this for the first time mid-month, jump on in; there is no need to wait for another challenge to start next month. 

                                     

How It Works

The primary purpose of these monthly challenges is to encourage you to set and hit 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 a parade, a celebration, or other outside event or a famous landmark. In the US there should be plenty of material on or around July 4.  Elsewhere it might be a market or someplace near you that regularly shows up in the paper or on television.

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.

Well July is going to go down as one of my worst months step wise.  Between the heat and lack of motivation I am getting nowhere!  I will have to recommit in August and hope the heat and humidity gets better.

We had a massive branch break off of one of our oldest trees this week.  We won't know the extent of damage to the roof until we get the tree off the roof but if you can believe it, it doesn't look too bad.

I’m also struggling to meet my goals this month. Either the day is jam-packed so no time to walk, or it’s too hot. Here’s hoping to get back-on-track in August. 

Best Answer

@Baltoscott where did July go?  I am hoping to get some biking in this weekend when at the cottage to put a number down towards my "Midway July" goals.  Enjoy the day!

Best Answer

@Jotex I feel the same way.  Thought for sure I could complete my goals being July and it is suppose to be a nice summer.  It has been unusually hot this year, (or rain) and where have all the days gone?  I may just repeat my goals for the August challenge 😉    You have been doing a great job!  Keep moving and have fun!

Best Answer

Thx @4DB !! I basically copied and pasted my goals, too, except … I upped my step count goal (I gotta get committed!), and added a few days of training with weights (build back some muscle). 🤨
