March Challenge - Steps

It's my sister's turn to set our challenge for month (thank goodness this is the last day for squats... woohoo! 280 today - yikes!), and she's picked trying to get 70,000 steps per week (average 10,000 a day).  We get a point every week if we reach 70,000 (with the option to earn bonus points if we hit 100,000 steps in a week, and an additional point for every 1,000 steps over 100,000), and then start over for the next week. Her "rules" and point system will take a little keeping track but should be easy enough to follow - I have a pedometer on my watch that I'll hopefully keep an eye on to see my  daily steps so I know if I'm falling behind! Every night I'll record that days step count total and add it up at the end of the week.

In summary (per week - 3/1-3/7, 3/8 - 3/14, 3/15 - 3/21, 3/22 - 3/28):

70,000 steps   = 1 point
100,000 steps = 1 extra point
101,000 steps = 1 extra point
102,000 steps = 1 extra point and so on...

Start the count over every week. There is a potential to gain lots of points this month which I plan to do in case there are upcoming monthly challenges that I don't hit!! I'm going to stock up as many points as possible hahaha.

Who's up for a step challenge this month (with or without points earned!)? A few ideas that we've heard SO many times before (but usually ignore) on how to get those steps in:

-park far away instead of circling for a front row parking space
-pace when talking on the phone, doing the laundry, cooking, waiting an hour for the doc to finally see you (yes, she made me wait an hour and I should have been pacing instead of stewing!)
-ignore the elevator and escalators, take the stairs!
-stand up and walk around the house during commercial breaks (instead of fast forwarding them!)
-set a reminder on your phone to get up and walk or march in place for a couple minutes every hour
-return your shopping cart to a cart corral far from where you parked
-bring in the groceries one bag at a time
-don't park close to the store you want to go to in the mall, get in a little mall walking
-have a little random dance party in your kitchen
-get up a little early and go for a walk
-you've heard the saying "if your dog is fat you probably aren't getting enough steps in"?

And now some motivational images to get you started! You're getting a bunch because I couldn't decide which I liked best. And apparently because I have too much time on my hands (I should be getting steps instead of searching online for motivational quotes to get me to not sit at the computer all day!).
