10,000 Steps A Day: Week 8

I really don't feel like writing anything here today. I've completed steps for the past week but yeah, I just feel like shit. I've got a lot of stuff coming up which is new to me, new environments and situations. You might think what's the big deal? This is the problem I have. I've always felt like I'm trying to live a normal life but I'm not normal. As if I have some kind of social problem which just prevents me from being able to do the same things some people find it so easy to do.

I'm starting some volunteer work this week at the job centre, basically just helping out whilst I don't have a job, makes sense but all the issues involved just make me have a huge feeling of impending doom. I've also been helping out at my brother-in-laws shop which has been a new experience. When I talk about these things on here or with other people, they seem normal and fine, even to me. When I'm on my own thinking about them though, I just panic. I start tomorrow and the little things like the fact I don't really have good shoes which fit properly make me feel sick.

Other than that though... the week has been fine. Walking has been pretty good and my legs haven't been hurting as much. The weather has been getting warmer and I've felt a little self concious wearing anything less than my coat. I'm not sure why really but, I like the fact the coat is so big and kinda slimming.

Here's the results for this week -

I just want to point out that making that picture took me a lot longer than usual. Anyway, here's the results. You can see that on the 23rd I did the most steps which is the day that I was helping out in the store. Thanks for reading, ill be back again next week. Hopefully employed with a job that is actually paying me.

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
