**January 26 Challenge Check In**

If you logged a minimum of 1,000 steps more than your normal daily goal or the average of the past seven days on January 26, please comment on this post.

From those who comment, I will select a winner at random. I will email this person (using the email address associated with his/her DietBet account). ONLY this person will need to provide verification of his/her steps in order to claim the prize. (*Please do not post pictures when you comment.)

You will also need to provide verification of your daily goal, or your seven day average - whichever you used to calculate your step total for the challenge.

This person will have 24 hours to reply with verification. If I don't hear back by then, the prize is forfeited. And a new winner will be chosen. The winner will be a choice between either DietBet credits (may be used towards the bet payment of either a DietBet, RunBet or StepBet, awarded immediately), or an Amazon gift card (sent once all step challenge winners are identified).

If you comment on this post, please be sure to check your email after the check in period ends!

You have until 9:30 am EST on January 26 to comment. After that, a winner will be chosen.

January 23 - 24

I'm not sure how the weather is where you are, but things took a bit of a turn here overnight. It's windy and cold. Granted, I know it's the winter and all. But compared to the 50 degrees and sunny weather we had just yesterday, it is a stark contrast. Hopefully, the weather is nice where you are today!

In case the weather makes it difficult to get your steps in outside, why don't we brainstorm ways we can still get our steps in if we are stuck inside?

- Walk around your house during commercials.

- Have a spontaneous dance party in your living room with the kids.

- Just be as inefficient as possible. Take multiple trips even if you can knock it out in one.

- Take a lap around the store if you're out shopping.

- Of course, opt for stairs over elevator/escalator and park further away to log those extra steps.

What are your favorite ways to get in extra steps?
