It’s already November and 2023 is nearly gone; but we’ve still got our goals.
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.
Much like October. 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 and so on. Bonus points for pictures during the ‘golden’ hour, the hour before sunset.
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.

Thanks for the invitation to the November challenge @Baltoscott . It has been an unusually stressful and busy time these past few weeks, I just couldn’t keep up.
As it’s now mid-November, I’m not sure whether to join now or wait til December. My average daily step count in November so far has been about 7,500. So I will at least strive to reach that goal the rest of the days this month.
I can say that in the last seven years since I bought my first Fitbit and joined @Baltoscott on the monthly challenges, this has helped me keep committed to a regular fitness routine, as well as steps, stairs, etc. So…. Thank you!
