November Step Challenge and Scavenger Hunt
Wow. November. The year is nearly gone, but we’ve still got time for another challenge or two.
General monthly instructions are below, including the monthly picture scavenger hunt.
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
While you are out and about getting in your walks/hike/rides this month take a few pics that show the changing seasons in your area, fall (or spring) colors, holiday displays, if you are in a beach area, the boardwalk shutting down or opening up, something that shows change.
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.

My TrendWeight is back to where it started at the beginning of the month; so while I could still drop two pounds, I’ll have to focus on it. Not sure if I’m mentally there.
Back to where I started on Nov. 1

@Baltoscott I can certainly sympathize. My
*starting weight was 65 kg. Now I’m 64.3 (up from 64.1 a couple of days ago). But on Trendweight it’s 64.8. At least TW’s estimate of reaching my goal has improved from Nov 2024 to July 2020 (at this rate)!

@Joy2019 WTG on the Loss!
Had to get new shoes today. My other ones gave out on me big time yesterday. I do have a backup pair but they didn't fit as my foot is swollen from my leg problem. Had to buy a larger size because of it.
The Acsis were tight on my foot and she said they did tend to run on the narrow side
But I got Brooks Adrenaline GTS20. I'm happy with them
