You made me chuckle with your messages! Here we are Lyn! We are ready to go! If anyone wants to join us along the way... you are still welcome!

Remember to record a step count each day and then report the TOTAL of your steps to me on Wednesdays.

Good shoes, water bottle, and we're off!

This will be something to keep us moving thru these long days of winter! Such a great idea Sandy!

I'm ready, coffee and tea and water are available for everyone and I'm bringing my dog along to hopefully wear him out a little.

Great idea Lyn. Dogs are welcome. What's his/her name?

Did everyone get some steps in yesterday? I will convert steps to miles and figure out where we are when you report in on Wednesday. Tomorrow you will report Monday & Tuesday's steps and then start our first full week.

Dogs name is Oscar. I actually took him out for his first official walk yesterday and he loved it.

Roger & I took a drive yesterday so I didn't get as many steps in as I intended but all is good. We drove to see a new pharmacy that the guy who bought our pharmacy has opened ~ he is a nice young man with a LOT of energy. Our GPS took us in some pretty narrow back-woods roads that were pretty sketchy but it was a fun adventure!

Yes! Sandy I have to thank you, yesterday you made me walk intentionally just to count my first 6000 steps! So happy to have something that motivates me!

Here I am! My wednesday report is the following: 8200 steps.

I didn't count the steps made during my daily routine, but just those made intentionally to increment exercise.
My daily routine is quite active (I can reach easily 12.000 steps) but clearly has not been successfull so I'm goingI to only wear my pedometer for walks added specifically for this initiative.
More is better when it comes to exercise.

Thanks for the report Francy! I will record your contribution. Good going!

My miles for this week are 7.51. If you'd rather have steps it's 17,831. I'm counting all my steps, you'll see that there will be some very low count days in there but I'm trying to up it!

I don't care which way you report it and I don't care who does all their steps and who does just intentional walks. This is your program.... I'm just the recorder! Do you think Oscar did about double the steps you did? LOL

My step count for Monday & Tuesday of this week is 10,400

S...I'm confused (kind of a normal state for me lately). . For this Monday & Tuesday, did my step count start at my home or at Lyn's where we're all meeting?

I think the step counts are starting from my house.

Well all righty then! If that's the case ~ let me tell you Lyn how much I enjoyed seeing your house in person, and thanks for the much- needed cup of coffee!
