Two giveaways in one week? Heck yes! It is Friday after all, so why not? You may remember I posted at the beginning of February about heart health and some goals I had for the month. I had some great tools form Staples to help me try to reach my goals, and while I didn’t reach them all, it was fun trying!
1.) Take time for myself every day
2.) Delegate- Eh. Still need to work on this one but getting better.
3.) Let things go- I had a couple of things happen this month to upset me, but after the initial anger I chose to let them go and I feel so much better not dwelling on the stress or haters.
4.) plan ahead- We went on vacation and I had to do a LOT of planning ahead to make sure things were covered at work, at home, etc. and everything went smoothly!
5.) run 100 miles- I only ran about 55 miles last month. I realized picking the shortest month of the year for such a lofty goal probably wasn’t the best idea! Also, I was dealing with a hip injury so I was actually running less. Oh well! I will have to try this one again.
Something that really helped me stay active every day this month was my Fitbit One. I aim for 10k steps a day, and like to check in during the day to see where I am and if I need to do some more moving around. It’s been a great accountability tool!
Staples has agreed to graciously give away a Fitbit One to one of my lovely readers! Just follow the instructions on Rafflecoptor to enter. Must have an address in the US. Good luck!
I haven’t counted my steps but 10,000 seems like a great number to strive for. I’m usually on the go and I try to run a few times a week. I’m really curious about how many steps I take!
I haven’t counted my steps since a college health class required us to wear pedometers 🙂 this Fitbit looks way cooler than that was! 🙂
I aim for 10k a day but I’m not too strict about it especially when I’m in a marathon training because I don’t want to force myself to move more when it’s supposed to be a rest day.
10,000 is a good goal for me. I think I probably hit that most days when I work. And the weekends when my baby is fussiest I probably surpass that just walking her around the house 🙂
I aim for 10000 each day but try not obsess too much if I don’t hit it each day.
I try to get 10K steps a day as well. Don’t always get there but all this snow probably doesn’t help!
I aim for 10,000. Always happy when i go over!
I am for 10K a day. I work in an office and when busy, I realize how sedentary that is. So I’ve started to add a once-a-day-climb-the-stairs-to-the-top-of-my-building, which helps (42 floors). Half marathon training started last week so that should help too…
I haven’t tracked my steps in a long time.it would be interesting to see what I do on an average day these days!
I would aim for 10,000 steps a day, and increase my goal as my running mileage increased 🙂 I am pretty sure I walk a lot less than i think I do at work!
10,000 +
I am aiming for 10,000 steps.
I aim for 10,000 steps a day. How busy we are at work has a lot to do with whether I reach that goal or not.
Not having owned a step counter before I would probably start with 10,000 and see how that goes. I am a very goal motivated type person. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
My goal is 10,000 steps (without counting any of my running or other workouts).
I know my goal should be 10k steps a day but I am happy on a non-running day if I can get 6k. Running days 10k is doable.
10k is a good goal for me. I have a pretty active job but I think I overestimate my steps some days.
I’ve always wanted a fitbit! I would love to be actually be able to track my steps and activity every day!
10K is a great goal. I would love a fitbit to see how many steps I actually walk in a day. Could you imagine at Disney World how many steps you take
I’ve never counted my steps, because I’ve never used anything to do so. But I’d like to think i get close to 8,000 a day. I’d love to be able to track them and really push for at least 10,000. I’m a nursing student, so I know on my clinical days i’m probably getting way about that!
Those goals sound very lofty! 100 miles a month! 25 miles a week….hmmmm I think I could only hit that if I was marathon training.
10,000 steps is a good goal for me but with the cold/snow it just hasn’t been happening.
I try for 10K steps a day. I don’t always meet that goal though but I’m usually close!
I aim for 12,000 steps a day. Since I work on my feet all day 10,000 is usually pretty easy to meet!
I aim for 10K steps per day. The days that I’m at work and on my feet 12+ hours it’s very easily to hit that and beyond! The days that I’m at home and working on my blog, or travel agency, it is a bit more difficult since I’m sitting at the computer!
10k! It may be difficult though because my exercise of choice is lifting weights or BJJ, but here’s to hoping!
I’ve never counted my steps before but I bet it would get me moving even more.
I want to get myself to the common 10K, but for now I’m working on 7,000 a day. I used to have a fitbit, the force that got recalled, but currently just using the slightly more inaccurate version on my phone, so this would really help.
I try for 10k!
I love the idea of setting new goals for each month. I’m going to try it and see if I can get more accomplished that way. Thanks for the idea.
I don’t really count steps – but I love to jog at least 4 miles most days of the week.
I haven’t actually ever tracked my steps throughout a day but it’s be interesting to see how many I do take since I am constantly on my feet and running around for my job.
I would’ve to be able to make it 10k steps in a day!
I try to get at least 8,000 a day.
I’ve never tracked my steps, so I would start with a goal of 10,000.
I aim for 12,000 steps a day, and I hit that most days since I walk to and from work. My weekends some times get less steps, since I spend more time at the gym and less time walking 🙂
I aim for 12k steps a day. I’m a teacher so I’m always on the move!
I have not been able to find a pedometer that is accurate and doesn’t annoy me, so I haven’t tried counting my steps n a long time. What I love about fitbit is that you can wear it on your wrist instead of the kind that clips on to your clothes.
I know that I used to try to get in 10,000 steps a day.
I’d like to aim for 10,000 steps a day, but I doubt I get anywhere close to that except on days when I get a workout in.
I aim for 10,000 steps a day. Most days I am good to go- but others I fall short and wonder why!
I try to take 10,000, which is easy with a morning run, but far more difficult on the “lethargic” days with no planned workout.
I am for 10k a day! I normally don’t hit it, but would love a fitbit to help motivate me to do so!
I would say 10,000 steps daily.
I think 10K is a good goal, it would be nice to have a reminder to move more throughout the day
I am interested to know how many steps I take as a college student. I think that between running and walking to class everyday, I take more than I think!
10K steps a day outside of running sounds good
10K steps a day sounds good to me too
I guess start at 10,000… but would my runs count? I think they should! 😉
10k a day!
10K steps/day is my goal, but it’s really tough when I have work from home days (or even worse, travel for work days where I spend 4+ hours in a car). This winter weather doesn’t help to motivate me either. I can’t wait for spring!
I so need this, I especially needed it to count all those steps around WDW, lol!
Thats a great goal!
My goal is 10.000 steps, at least over a mile
I am definitely trying for 10,000 steps per day.
I would actually like to win this for my wife, guessing she would want to be somewhere in the 12K range.
Oh gosh, I have no idea. I would want to know how many I already take and aim for at least 25% more than that. Once I hit that goal consistently I’d aim for another 25% increase. I know it’s not an actual number but it feels like that would be more attainable.
I want to walk at 10,000 steps and make sure I get up and walk around during the workday. It’s so easy to just sit at my desk all day.
My goal is definitely 10,000. I don’t hit it everyday, but I try to get as many steps as possible.
8k makes me happy.
I don’t have a set goal, especially right now. I am recovering from piriformis syndrome at 34 weeks pregnant. I’m just happy to walk!
I’ve heard that 10,000 steps is a good goal. I’ve never tracked my steps before so if be super interested to see what I do on a normal day!
I never tracked my steps because I don’t have a device to track them.
I don’t count my steps, but I have always heard that 10,000 steps was a great goal! I hope that I can start counting them soon!
I’d say 9000 to 10000!
I’ve never tracked my steps, but am pretty active at work – I’d love to see how many steps I take in a day.
I feel good if I’ve done 7,000
What a fun game that must be… (can I take 10 more steps then yesterday!) Humm I wonder how much I walk in a day.
I’ve been aiming for 8k!
I aim for 5000-8000 steps a day. I don’t have a desk job so I do a lot of walking throughout the day. All my residents ask me how many miles I put on in the day
I know 10,000 is what a person should have…but since having HK I know I don’t get anywhere near that. I think getting to 5,000 a day would be a great start and then increase. I’ve never had anything to track my steps before…and this would be a great tool. (The sleep tracker is also appealing, although I’m pretty sure you have to be asleep for it to work.
I don’t own anything to keep track of my steps but I’m a single mom and always on the go. I play the role of dad too. I’d love to see what I’ve stepped in a day. I’m going to start walking once the weather turns around so this would be amazing to win. Thanks for the chance and good luck everyone
What a great giveaway! I try to run 3-5 miles, 5 days a week (when I’m not training for anything special), but I’ve never tracked my steps walking around all day – tracking would be a great way to get motivated to park a little farther away from the door or take the stairs instead of the elevator! I feel certain 10,000 would be doable.
i try to hit 10k steps everyday, but usually only reach that goal on days I run, which feels a bit like cheating..
My goal is 15,000
I just got through the first trimester, and I’m hoping that more energy and better weather help me with this goal – I’d like to hit 10,000 each day!
New job has me pretty sedentary. 🙁 I’ve been eyeballing purchasing a fitbit so would love to win it instead!
I would love to do 10,000!
I’ve never really counted my steps although my job has me running around literally and doing other physical activities. I think I would be similar to other people on here that it would be round 10K.
I’d love to have one of these! I would try to have 10,000 everyday.
at least 10,000
I would at least try to get 10,000 steps 🙂
It’s been awhile since I tracked my steps… I always aim for 10,000+!
I’m in the late stages of surgery recovery, so I’m aiming for 5,000 on my way back to 10,000.
10,000 but it rarely happens as I am very sedentary

Anything above 10,000 steps a day is good!!
I have a goal of 10,000.
I shooting for 10 grand a day.
I would like to start with a goal of 10,000. I have been using an app on my cell phone but I don’t think it works quite right.
10,000 between regular activity and running
10,000 steps a day!
I need to get more active so maybe 8-10k a day would be great
I’m not really sure, but 10,000 does sound reasonable.
Goal is 10k steps each day although I don’t meet it sometimes
I’m starting with a goal of 7,500 with plans to work my way up to 10,000
My goal steps is for me to reach 10,000 steps, that would be awesome.
10,000 is a great goal. It isn’t too hard especially when you have a lot to do.
I aim for 15,000 steps per day.
My goal is 7500 steps a day in the winter and 10000 in the summer
I have a sedentary job, so my initial goal is simply to walk 5000 steps each day. Ultimately, I’d like to shoot for 10,000 each day.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I aim for 10,000 steps each day in addition to running.
My goal is 10,000 steps a day.
10k seems to suit me just fine!
10,000! I’m pretty active but it’s hard for me to get those steps in!
My goal is 8k per work day and 12k on weekends or holidays
I want to keep working up to more and more steps every day.
I have my phone set for 10k, but I rarely have it on me. So… Who knows what I actually get in! Would be nice to know. 🙂
I’ve been told 10,000 should be the goal. I walk about 25 minutes a day but I’m not sure how many steps I take.
My goal is 8000 steps a day. I wanted a goal that was challenging but doable.
I’m not sure. Having a goal is a great idea.
I’d initially like to get up to 10,000 steps per day.
I’d love to hit 10,000
I have knee replacements so if I could get 5000 steps a day, I’d be happy.
10,000 steps is a good start
I would love to win this as I love the idea of being accountable for your activity during the day – you never realize how much you sit at work until you see you!
I live such a sedentary life that it is embarrassing. I would start with small goals so I would say 2500 steps a day.
My goal would be to see how many steps I have the first day and gradually increase.
thank you
My goal steps for the day are 10,000.
I’d like to shoot for 10,000 steps/day
My goal is 10,000, but it’s hard with a cubicle job.
I try to at least do 10,000 but havent tracked in a while.
I try for at least 8,000 to 10,000 daily.
Ten thousand is what they say I should get per day 🙂 so that’s the goal to shoot for 🙂
I am at 7k now and working towards 10K
something over 6k
I think 10K steps
10K but I don’t hit that amount unless I go out after (or before) work and hit the pavement.
I tend to mostly go between 7000 and 8000. I would love to get up to 10000. It’s especially hard in the winter.
Try for 10k but it’s difficult. I usually can reach 6k without too much difficulty.
10,000 is a good goal!
My goal is 10,000 steps
10,000 steps would be my goal. I love these fitbit things that help you keep track. Right now I don’t keep track.

I try and do 7000-8000 steps
10,000 for me
Well, on my backpacking trips, how ever many steps there are in about 12 miles.
Goal is 10K.

I would like to start at 10000 and then work my way up from there.
My goal is 10,050 steps a day
10,000 steps is a good goal. I walk quite a bit, so I would love to see how many steps I take already, and how much I need to get to that 10,000 step goal.
My ideal goal would be 10,000 steps a day!
I haven’t set a goal yet but 10000 seems like a challenge and would be a great goal for me.

my current goal is only 5,000 but i’d like to work up to 11,000 at some point
Right now it is 5000. I would love to work up to 10-15000!!
I’ve never thought of goal amount of steps before, but I think 10,000 would be a good number for me. It would be really interesting to see how many steps I actually do take a day.
I would start with a goal of 8k. I have no idea how many (or how little) steps I currently take!
I’d like to start off at 10,000 and gradually up that number over time.
I walk 4.5 miles on the treadmill every day I would like to get up to 5

10k steps a day.
10,000 steps a day seems like a reasonable enough goal for me. I am always walking around the store when I am working and it feels like I probably do half that in a work day. LOL.
My goal is 10,000 steps per day.
Anywhere between 6000-8000 a day.

I’m not sure, I run a lot, so I try to make sure I stay active throughout the day and not just during my workout.

I’m a newbie. My goal is only 5,000 steps a day.
I try to take 10,000 but it’s way harder than I thought!
10,000!
well i walk alot at work so i would love to monitor how much it is. i would say 15000 would be my goal
Oh my.. it’s been years since I’ve counted my steps using a Pedometer. And since I spend most of my day on the computer, this would so help me to be more accountable for getting up and moving around more!
I don’t really have a “goal” in mind, although I should. I need to just be more active in general and spend less time sitting in front of the computer!
My goal is 10,000 steps a day, but it is tough! I spend about 10 hours a day at a desk job
My goal is 10,000 a day, and I usually come close if not attaining it.
I’m not sure what a good amount is:: Maybe 10K???
My goal is about 10,000
I haven’t counted but I need to!!! 10000!
I find that I get close to 10,000 steps in each day already, just doing daily stuff, so right now my goal is 20k a day. Sometimes I up it to 30k when I want to really challenge myself. Thanks for this giveaway!
10,000 daily steps is my goal!
I would like to get to 10,000 steps.

I would like to hit 10,000 or more steps a day
I would like to walk 10K a day.
this would be a great item. I have never kept track of my steps before. Congrats on your achievements
I would say my goal would be 10k to 12k steps a day. I had a baby girl a little over a month ago….meaning it is time to get back in to shape.

My goal is at least 10,000 a day

My goal amount is 12,000 steps. Right now I am at about 5,000.
I think I’m going to start out with 7500!
Thank You for the giveaway… 10K steps (about 5 miles) is a reasonable goal.
I try for 10,000 steps. I have an old Fitbit but it is not working anymore and it helped to keep me motivated. Caryn
Probably 6,000
10000 but in the summer, I try to up it a bit more.
I just started walking after foot/ankle surgery so if I could do 500 I would be happy right now
600 steps for me since I’m recovering from a lengthy illness.
I am starting smaller at 5000.
My goal amount of steps each day is 10,000. My days vary throughout the week and I find it hard to be consistent day to day.
I do at least 10K steps a day. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
