My Week:

RAGT15 walk
Fellow #FitReaders Felicia, Melanie, and Liza on a walk at #RAGT15

My “week” started with a trip to Lori Foster’s Annual Reader Author Get Together. I attended the event in West Chester, OH, along with 500 other readers, authors, bloggers, and industry professionals. This was my fourth year attending. One of the great perks – getting to walk, drink, and dance with some of our #FitReader crew! For more of my photos from the event, check out my Facebook page.

I did a great job getting in my steps, even while away, especially on Friday night when there was an awesome dance event. A few of us danced for about four hours, determined to hit 20,000 steps! Eating – well that wasn’t quite as good, as I did have a few too many servings of this and that. I was up a couple pounds at my weigh-in on Monday, but I know it will come off now that I’m back home.

My Movement:
Friday: 37 minutes walking, 21,294 steps
Saturday: 39 minutes walking, 10,224 steps
Sunday: no exercise, 6,789 steps
Monday: 39 minutes walking, 10,097 steps
Tuesday: 51 minutes walking, 12,924 steps
Wednesday: no exercise, 12,108 steps
Thursday: 35 minutes walking, 10,574 steps

Questions for YOU!

      Thanks! I had made it to 18K a few times, but this was a big push to hit 20K. The fun night of dancing totally made it doable!

    you guys are so cute together, totally jealous!
    Met my step goal of 12k every day but Sunday and Monday. Sunday we had a party and Monday was recovery. So I made the rest of the week a minimum of 15k to make up for the “lost steps” which has worked out pretty well. I am in a work week challenge and refuse to lose, around 70k steps for the last 5 days and still half a day to go, Woot!
    gym has been excellent. I have added more weight and more time in and the results are very good. I will hopefully do some progress pictures on the FB page soon.

    I don’t normally count my steps since I’ve stopping walking as my form of exercise but we are going to Florida for a long weekend this coming week and we will be walking all over Universal Studios so I’m going to dust off my step counting app while we’re there to see how much walking I get in.

        Yeah I washed my small SUV and my husband’s full sized truck. Plus cleaned the inside.

    Wow! More than 20,000 steps on Friday! I’m happy you had fun at the Reader Author Get Together 😀
    I did better this week! Finally.

    What a fun event. I’ve read about it in past years. How great to meet up with the other FitReaders 🙂 Great job with the steps, everyone!!

    Looks like a great time was had by all! I walk 35 + mins and don’t get that many step counts. Maybe I need to upgrade my counter!

      The steps aren’t from just the walk!!! Those are ALL DAY STEPS! I have two goals – one is to exercise for at least 30 minutes and the other is to get 10,000 steps during the day. I generally have about 1,600 steps per mile. So a 30 minute walk will be about 3,500 steps.

    Looks like that is a fun event, four hours of dancing is awesome.
    My week well, seven day average of 10,726, which I will take.

    Wow, 20K steps in one day?! That’s so awesome!! I have yet to do that, but I hope to some day. I think my highest has been around 18K. Great week you had!

    I had a few milestones last week I’m really proud of. I worked out every day, which I think is the first full week for me. I hit a total of 100,000 steps in a week for the first time since getting my Fitbit. And I ran 4 miles straight two days in a row, which was also a first for me! Pretty pumped.
