We are in stay in home mode so I'm trying to follow the rules...although when I did drive to the store I took the long way along the bay and there were people and boats everywhere...I got my steps in looking for children and or baseball players in the cornfield

Baseball players.

Baseball players.

Did you read that the Yankees are supposed to play the White Sox at the Field of Dreams location? Not sure it's gonna happen now but wow that's bucket list stuff for me
'Field of Dreams' movie site off limits to fans in week leading into New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox game

Has taking steps been outlawed yet?

I'm a rule follower. And I have found out my common sense over rules a lot.

Yesterday included a 5.5 mile walk, yardwork, workout, and evening 1+ mile walk. I noticed before getting in bed that I was 700 steps from 30k..walk in place

 

[vollygirl]

3 miles on the treadmill this morning before work. 7110 right now. I need to set a daily goal I guess. Next step bet starts the 13th.

 

[vollygirl]

Step Bet payout is $7.42. Not bad for just doing what's good for me.

 

[SycloneJoe]

11,786 yesterday. Cleaned and waxed two cars. Just staying busy during my furlough.

9,996 on Monday. Did some landscaping. I wish I would’ve seen that I needed 4 more steps to get 10k.

Only did 1.5 miles on the treadmill this morning. Got in bed late, didn't sleep well, and didn't feel like doing it at all. So I guess it's something.

Warm up week of Step Bet, but I also started Erin Oprea's app workouts yesterday. That means no morning treadmill.

I'll have to figure out the right balance.

 

[vollygirl]

Suh WEET!! Tomorrow's workout is cardio of choice! Treadmill c'mon! Woot woot!

What are the details on stepbet? You have to pay a monthly membership?

I looked at it for a second last night. Seems I'd have to do 22K for 2 days and 18k for 4 days each week. Seems doable but they don't really explain the process/membership/etc very well.

27.8 % Body Fat to 22.9% in 90+ days. 22 Lb weight loss.

21.5 miles ran this week a new personal best for 5 days

$40 fee to join the game (I do Erin Oprea's games, but there are more to choose from). The game is 6 weeks, first week is a warm up and doesn't count against you. Currently there are 3560 people on this one and the pot is $142,400.00. Step Bet takes 15%, and the ones who complete every week split the pot.

You do 4 active days, and 2 power days. My active days are 7,392 and my power days are 9,446. I'm not proud of the fact that I don't move a lot, but that's why I play the game.

 

[DrRosenRosen]

Ok. That makes sense. If you complete the task, you're collecting ~$5 - $10?

Thanks for the response.

Yep.

I figure if I get anything at all back its a win.
