The Best Buy 9, which I’m included in, are going to be doing a challenge this month. To get to 1 million steps collectively. Which doesn’t seem so hard since there are 9 of us. We will be using our Fitbits to keep track of our steps. I’m excited for this challenge and it’s a nice way to push yourself to walk more! I can see groups of friends doing this, to push each other and see if they can do it!
So far this month I have gotten 41,486 steps. I average around 6k a day! Which I think you only need to get 3k a day for each person. I’ll be posting updates on how I am doing a few times this month!

Play along with me and see how many steps you can get in January!






You’re way ahead of me girl!! Good for you!! Keep going!
You’ll get enough steps for all of us!

You’re doing awesome Alison. I need to get my FitBit back on. I’m having trouble finding motivation when it’s so cold outside and I can’t get out and walk.

Really the only outside walking I am doing is too and from the bus stop lol. But cleaning does help get those steps in.
I think I need to get a FitBit. The fitness tracking watch I’m using isn’t bad, but it bugs my wrist and doesn’t give enough stats… I’m a stats geek, so that is not good.

Cleaning helps a ton.
That is so fantastic!!!! I have a FitBit but I haven’t used it since before the holidays because I was getting stressed about getting steps in when I had so much work to get done. Now I have time again though!

Yay I hope you start using it again!! I don’t get stressed out about it. I see it as more as a thrilling thing to see how much I actually do walk around. The only time I get upset is I forget to put it on when charging it! Losing those steps! Haha
oh I want a fitbit! They look amazing for motivation! Good luck!

They are better for motivation when you get friends in your dashboard on their website. Since it shows you who is in the lead with the most steps. It’s a great device!

The fitbit is amazing. If you ever get it, we can become friends on it… then you can kick my butt weekly in steps.

I read about this. What a great campaign – it’s amazing to see how much you move just doing the regular things and is a fab motivator to do more!

Yes it is a fab motivator! When I don’t want to keep running around the house for the kids…. I decide well it gets me more steps! Let’s get moving!
that is amazing,,I guess you dont realize how many steps you actually take an then have it there to see if you improve or not,,wonderful ideal
I actually take more steps than I thought I did! But maybe that’s because I’m becoming less lazy. Which is a good thing!
