Walking or Step Challenge

I do have a pedometer that I haven't worn in a good while, I know exactly where it is at and will try to remember to start wearing it, so that I can see how many steps that I am stepping. I don't think I've ever came close to 10,000 steps let alone 20,000 steps!

I have the worse pedometer on earth. It only records one in four steps and you have to stomp on the ground very loudly. If you could translate that 10,000 steps a day into something like miles or feet, that I will understand. I do walk and run about a mile a day. However I usually go to the Mall, and I have not yet figured out how long it takes to go there and how long it takes what I am doing when I get there since I am exactly a mall walker, more like a walk fast, run for a minute, walk a little slower, speed up my walk, run for a minute, and do that unless someone is watching me.

I've just started keeping track of my steps. I've only been going around 3-3.5 miles a day, though. I've been really busy trying to get caught up on some of the stuff that I missed while I was at my parents' house. That has taken up most of my time. Plus my husband is working 12 hour shifts, so I have more stuff to do at home to pick up the slack. Next week, my goal is going to be at least 5 miles a day. I don't do a whole lot of walking when I'm just at home hanging out with my toddler. We go for walks every day, but that's really about it. Next week we are going to do two walks a day, though! We can't walk any further than we already do at one time, though, because I already have to carry my two year old part of the way. I think (2) 1.5-2 mile walks a day will really help me out in reaching my goal, though! Plus I'm going to just do more walking around while I'm at home, too.

Hi mama. I don't count my steps every day, but I'm sure that I walk thousands. Walking is about the only thing that keeps my back from constantly hurting so I walk everywhere all the time and get a lot of exercise in that way.
