10,000 Steps A Day: Week 6

This week I actually broke my record! again... It was Holly's birthday so I did my walk and then ended up walking a ton around Manchester which helped push it over my record. The when I got home I walked Winston which added another 1,000 steps to the total. This sounds great but I was actually pretty worried I wouldn't make it through the week. There was a decent amount of stress with getting Holly's presents together and then my social anxiety kicked in.

Despite all that, I still managed to stick through it. I'm getting incredibly bored of my usual route though which is becoming a problem. I've invited a few friends along a few times which has helped a lot. It would be better If I listened to music or an audio book but for some reason I just can't be bothered. It makes me not want to go on the walk. I'll have to figure something out in the coming weeks. Here's the progress - 


Pretty decent but actual weight loss isn't that impressive. I've lost a few pounds but seems to be floating around the same weight. The increased exercise is also increasing my appetite so I'm struggling in that regard. I'm going to commit to trying to eat healthier for the next week. I think If I just try to stick to 3 balanced meals and avoid snacking I'll be fine. The problem is that my mother doesn't really care about this and because I'm living with her, there's always snack food in the house.

Next week I'm going out again to Manchester to see an Ice hockey game which should be interesting. That's it for this week, thanks for reading.

 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
