Good Morning Everyone, I did over 9000 steps yesterday. I hope I can reach 10,000 today but not sure right now I have gotten up with a headache. I do get to babysit my 19 month old grand-daughter so I will be hopping. :-) Each one of you that are participating in our challenge are doing great!!! Let's get ourselves in gear!!! Go!!!! and God bless you!

I'm depressed today. Exercise is supposed to make one feel better so I'll try to increase my steps!

OH, Dragon, I'm sorry you are down today. It is hard to make ourselves get up and move when we have the "mully grubs" but really it is good for you. I knew something was wrong when I hadn't heard from you yet. PM me and let's talk. Cheer up and look around you and see all the blessings you have! God bless you!

Well, it is 5:24 and we have ballgame tonight until late so I won't be able to get posted that late how many steps I did today. I did not do good today at all. I just got 3,663 so far and I have been busy as a little bee. I must not have had my ped on right on my wasteband. Well, anyway I tried. If I don't get one started in the morning, I will sometime tomorrow. God bless y'all.

It sounds like everyone is doing great!
I did just over 10000 steps today! I did a lot of shopping, so that really helped. I only go grocery shopping twice a month, so I do quite a bit of walking around at the 2-3 grocery stores I go to each time. We also went to Walmart today, so that helped as well.

I was checking the pedometers yesterday, but I already had my money committed elsewhere, our anniversary is coming up, not to mention Father's Day and my granddaughter's birthday. I have some from the Special K packages at home, but they are inaccurate, and I am not that good of a counter. I just walk to the Mall or the Shopping Center, then look around. However, I think I had better move faster, like run a bit more. Not into the challenge, as I am more into getting someplace in a hurry.

Hey, I found my pedometer this morning! Now I can do it with you. I don't think I'm going to be able to get in as many steps as you have. I'm going to aim for 5000 steps today and then try to go up 500 steps a day. Maybe some days I will get in more and can get up to the 10,000 sooner.
I hope your headache goes away quick.

Thanks so much. I am so glad you found your ped and you can join us. Just increase however you feel most comfortable. We all are going to reach 10,000 before long and will be so proud of one another. God bless you and have a blessed day!

It is such a joy to watch her learning every day! I am so blessed to be able to be a part of that and to enjoy watching and seeing her grow up. Have a blessed day!

It's so easy for us to slack off on our walking. This discussion has helped some of us get motivated and get more steps. Thanks for the post and have a blessed day!
