November 2021 Step Challenge and Scavenger Hunt
Well, well, the 11th month of 2021 is nearly here. I’m still working on one of my January resolutions — riding my unicycle backwards. Might have to carry that one forward, but I’m still trying. But now it’s time to set some goals for the coming month. Something to keep you on track so that those promises you make to yourself in January don’t have to be too big 🙂
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. Or, if you want to switch it up, pick a November ‘holiday’ from nationtoday.com (or your county’s equivalent) and see if you can come up with a pic that tells the story. Example, November 6, is National Bison Day.
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.

Hi everybody
I'm back!!! Sorry that I didn't say good bye when I started my maternity leave time but I had an emergency C-section 🙈 obviously not planned at all. Good thing is my baby is okay and I'm already ready to rock (metaphorically speaking). It has been a long journey for me to start working out again. I didn't know it was so hard. But I'm glad to see all here, I missed you. 🤗
Meet my baby son Marcos
