As many of my friends know, I love walking! So I was so thrilled when Brooke started up her Walktober Challenge! I’ve been purposely scheduling times to walk throughout the day: after dropping off Juliet at Playtime, a loop of the neighborhood before Olivia’s bus arrives, quick shopping trips to Target, and meals at restaurants […]
Finishing my Walking Challenge!!
So remember this post in October where I said I was doing the Walktober Challenge and wanted to get 10,000 steps per day for a month. Well I’m here to say, it didn’t happen. I could blame it on Olivia, but really it was me. It got cold, I went back to work, I got […]
Steps challenge and keeping myself motivated!
So as I explained a couple weeks ago, I’m continuing to try to keep myself motivated to walk each week. Though it’s not as hard now that I’ve lowered my daily goal to 8000 steps (pretty simple to make with my normal walking around the office and my 40 minute walk during lunch) and I […]
Final day of the Million Step Challenge!
Its the last day and I’m on track to make my million (only 8000 steps left)! There were definitely ups and downs, weekends were harder than I thought to get steps in, being pregnant made me more exhausted in the evenings, and the weather did not always cooperate! All that said, I’m so proud of myself. I have […]

Day 3 of Million Step Challenge!
And today, in my rush to get out the door to meet my mom for walking, I forgot my pedometer!!! How could I? I feel so awkward without it after wearing it constantly for more than a month (from previous challenge). Luckily I have an Android smartphone and found a pedometer app that seems to […]
Day 1 of the Million Step Challenge!
It’s Day 1 and I’m so ready to go! After all of the food I ate for Thanksgiving (with 2 meals), I am ready to get moving again! I have my Google Doc all set up (let me know if you wanna join), my tennis shoes at work, and 2000 steps already from doing some […]
The Million Step Challenge!
It’s time for the MILLION STEP CHALLENGE! Grab your shoes and pedometer and get walking! What is the challenge you ask? Well its something I made up to get me up and exercising more than I normally do. I bought a pedometer in October and realized that I only get in about 2500 steps per […]
