March Madness 2017 Step Goal Challenge

[almost_where]

How It Works:

The purpose of this challenge is to keep track of your daily step goals for March, 2017. This is not a competition to see who can do the most amount of steps, instead it is a challenge to measure your consistency . So whether you do 100,1k, 5k, 10k or even 40k steps a day, this is measuring how many days out of 31 for the month can you hit your goal.

Some of you might have a constant goal of 10k steps every single day and some 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.

Suggested Posting Format

1) Post either your constant or variable step goal.

2) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved / 31.

Optional

3) Post either your constant or variable calories burned goal.

4) Keep track of the # of daily goals achieved / 31.

Injury Notice

If you injure yourself during the month and decide scale back the number of steps due to the injury, then all you have to do is adjust your daily step 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.

@benvegi  I agree, weather makes a huge difference.  I know the summer will slow me down - I hate heat and humidity.  I'm trying to focus on finding ways to not let the weather interfere with what I need to do.

I am on training all this week (9 - 5 PM). Getting flashing green stars is little bit hard. 😞  But completed the goal steps. 🙂

The weather effect is opposite for me, I like the hot and humid. Dislike
the cold and rain.

Like you I try to find ways to cope. My strategy on the cold wet days is to
walk just to the mailbox (4/10 of a mile round trip) or run down and check
the game camera, plus I get steps when I go to feed the horses in the
morning. But all that leaves me low on steps so I literally walk around the
house and try to log a minimum of 1,000 steps per hour. And of course I
spend a lot of time in my shop during day (I make bowls and vases from
wood) and do take the time to walk to the barn and back once an hour. At
least all of this limits my time outside that makes it tolerable.

Today was 80 and humid and threatened rain, but I got in a 4 mile walk up
and down these hills. I have 15 k steps today and 79 floors, 5.95 miles.

Good luck!
