Hi Irina
Glad you are back! I've been in Texas with my daughter who had twins.
Got a little lazy walking this winter and gained 10 pounds and slowly walking it off.

My 1st time coming across this dare. Unfortunately i do not own a pedometer and cannot track the number of steps I have taken. I only remember said distance of the walk which would be 3.58km or 2.24 miles thereabout. It was a 40 minute walk which would mean 4000 steps?
