10,000 Steps A Day: Week 4

I'm actually really surprised that I've made it. So I'm one of those people who starts things and never finishes it, I'm terrible for it. Usually I just give it and I might come back to it later but most likely it's doomed to never be finish. I think that fact that I've made it a week and I haven't been phased in the slightest by it is a good example of how much better It's made me feel. I haven't been nearly as lazy, I've been pro active, more energetic and just a lot more positive overall.

This is clearly a more mental health aspect rather than physical so, the results will obviously differ from person to person. I'm still working on my diet, mainly trying to eat 3 meals a day during the week which are somewhat healthy/normal. On the weekend It's tough for me and I usually end up getting take-out, on these days I try to not eat anything other than the take-out and also eat healthier options on the menu. The results so far show that I've lost 7 pounds. This is pretty nice considering some of the weeks I've gone crazy with bad eating.

Another factor is snacking, now I don't really do that at all, I've always just compensated by having a larger than average meal. Recently however I've started eating a lot of sweet things like biscuits and chocolate. I cut out caffeine completely from my diet and pretty much any liquid other than water so I think because of this I developed quite the sweet tooth.

I'd like to mention as well that I originally started this with the plan of doing it for 90 days, I'm considering changing this to 1 year because so far it's been pretty easy and would like to keep going. Right, on to the important stuff -


A pretty average week from the looks of it. I found myself having to go for more smaller walks at the end of the night to reach the goal. This is probably due to the fact it's been a slow week where I haven't done much. I'll be back again next week, or maybe even sooner. I forgot that this is actually just my blog and I can write here any time, which I need to do more.

 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
