Steps: 835,028
Miles: 355.51
Logging the steps and the miles is all pretty much automatic now. Each morning I open up an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and enter the numbers on my pedometer from the day before.
If I walked a mile more than the goal distance (presently 7 miles per day) I highlight the cells green as a reward. If I do at least half of the goal distance but not the whole amount, I highlight the cells yellow. If I don't even make it half way, the cells gets highlighted pink. The spreadsheet does all the calculations. It shows an average over the past week and an average for the month-to-date.
If I happen to think of it, I will record a comment in the farthest right column with anything I might want to remember - things like "twisted ankle" or it "rained hard/stuck with walking in the mall."
Upcoming places for the Virtual Walker are also noted. Yes, Benda Blue, there is a town named "Jay Jay."
I also log my younger brother's steps and miles. So you might hear us say to each other, "I made green yesterday" "Alright!" or "Ack, pink!" "Ugh! what happened?"

That's very impressive. I've never worked with Excel, but it looks like it calculates well for you. Hey, what happened yesterday? Leg still bothering you? I don't think you told me last night. *hugs*
One of the stores I worked for always insisted we log what the weather was doing for the day when we closed for the day. In this way the home office could see why sales were the way they were for that particular day and so they could track trends.That idea would work very well with your log so you can see what was going on on pink days as opposed to the green and yellow days.
Ive never used Excel before but it looks similar to an old program I had on my first Wordprocessor. That program was awesome for creating a log of videos and books.
