10,000 Steps A Day: Week 7

Motivation has been the biggest problem this week. I've had tough decisions to make about my future such as if I'm going to continue looking for a full time job, follow my dreams and do something I really want, or go back to school. Having these things in my head has kinda messed me up but I still haven't really decided. When it comes to doing my walk or motivating myself to get up and go I'm really struggling. The only thing keeping me at this is just the thought of the disappointment in myself If I stopped.

I've tried to combat this by inviting my friends to come along on the walk. It made a lot of difference but yeah, can't really rely on this. My left ankle is hurting a lot from the walks as well. I think its either because I'm going to little too early, or I'm walking up a steep hill a little too fast. I'm hoping its one of these and not something a little more serious, I don't think it's that bad because it happens intermittently.

Here's the results for the week -

I'm considering starting calorie counting which is kinda annoying but it's necessary. I'm not loosing weight which sucks but at least I'm not gaining any despite my terrible diet. I've tried to add a bit of variety, a little more veg, soup and oatmeal for breakfast. I'm currently unemployed so I can't really afford to get fresh ingredients and I'm mainly living on cheaper stuff. There's healthy cheap stuff as well but because I'm not very good at cooking I'm really limited. My mothers cooking skills aren't much better so I think just eating less of the bad stuff and more of the good stuff might help.

Back

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
