10,000 Steps A Day: Week 3

I found this to be much easier than the last but I still had troubles. I've found that my ankles are starting to hurt whilst on the walk, I don't why this is, maybe because I'm speeding up or just the constant use which they're not used to. It's bearable though although it appears to be getting worse. Any marks on my feet have healed except for my little toe which has a big cut but it isn't noticeable when I'm walking.

My diet has probably been the worst it has ever been this week. It was certainly avoidable but I ended up getting take-out 3 times. A new place opened up which is really popular and my family wanted to try it so I was treated to it, fair enough but they then went there again on Saturday which was a few days later. On top of this I went to Sams flat to play DnD which always involves take-out. I'm a very black and white person, I either go full on into something or none at all, which is obvious with the only drinking water and walking. So trying to eat less take-out is difficult for me.

I think the next logical thing to do is to try and eat healthier options from the menu when I do end up ordering take-out. I've actually completely stopped ordering food for myself now and I only ever end up eating it when other people order which is an improvement. Despite all this, I've actually lost half a stone (7 pounds). I'm really happy with this and It certainly boosted my confidence considering my diet. Now I just need to work on eating healthier.

Alright, here's the progress -


You'll notice that I didn't achieve the 10,000 steps on 12th. This is because my phone ran out of battery before I could finish those steps, I did of course do those extra 100, it's just not tracked.

 I'm back. It's only been about 7 years. My last post said hopefully it'll be a few weeks until I post again. A lot's happened since then. Too much to just put into a single post realistically. A lot of bad things, a lot of good things. I suppose that's just life. I'm currently going through a really bad sedentary period in my life after coming out of the pandemic and consistently finding myself working from home. I spend weeks at a time not going out. One of the most productive and healthy periods of my life was when I was walking 10,000 steps a day. This helped in many aspects of my life. I'm gaining weight and don't even want to know how much I currently weight. I figure this is a great time to start the 10,000 steps a day again. Last time I did it I liked to write a weekly report on the progress. I'm going to do this again but hopefully I might be encouraged to write more about my life on the posts. I've had a few hundred views on all of my p

10,000 Steps A Day: Week 23

I messed up... So on Wednesday I put my phone in a locker rather than carrying it with me whilst at work. There's some inspections for PCI and it's just better to keep it in a locker. I didn't take into account the steps I do whilst at work so I took my phone out of the locker and I actually went for a walk in the evening. This is more than I'd usually do in a day so I thought I'd crushed the 10k steps.  When I took a glance at my phone I saw the icon to say that the amount had been reach. Unfortunately I did not realise that this was not the goal reached icon but the activity icon. They are the same after all so I don't blame myself too much for this mistake. This is the most amount of steps I've missed whilst doing this for the past 23 weeks and it is a bit crushing. As with the last couple of times it's not that bad considering I did in fact do the steps, it's just it was not recorded.  There's 3 weeks left till the end of the 6 months and

10,000 Steps A Day: Week 21

I need to buy a new belt! I have no doubt that I haven't lost weight but because I've been eating much worse than usual. For some reason though my belt isn't holding my jeans up and I need to buy a smaller one. I'm currently in that phase where I don't want to weight myself because I'm kinda scared of what I'll see so I'd rather wait till I've been eating well and exercising properly for a few weeks. This is kinda an endless cycle though as you'd expect because you keep end up having set backs and go months without weighting yourself. I've been working the usual amount the past few weeks and sorta fallen into a routine which is okay. I either go for my walk before or after work which makes sense. I know that the key to losing weight and being healthier is always going to be portion control and changing my eating habits so I'm not kicking myself about a set back, it's not something that will change over night and with work over
