10,000 Steps A Day: Week 9

This week was the first where I actually worked a full week, which was like 7 full days of working. I wasn't sure if I would still be able to do my walk after all this but luckily, most days I had just naturally done my steps from walking around. I'm surprised how much I've actually been walking with my office job. I expected to do very little but I've been going over 8,000 by the time I get home. I do spend my hour lunch break walking around the town centre though so that probably helps. 

Again my biggest problem is that I cannot seem to eat healthier. I struggle to eat vegetables/fruit naturally and I kinda have to force myself to eat them whenever I remember. Although eating healthier will help, really what I need to do is just eat less and lower calorie foods. I have a major sweet tooth and can't help myself recently. As for take out, I used to eat it like 3 times a day, but recently I've cut it down to 2 or 1. Still not great but certainly an improvement. 

It's tough to handle social situations like when I play DnD with my friends, we usually order some food. I guess the logical thing Is to order something a little less unhealthy from the menu.

Here's the results -


My weight loss has come to a stop because of my diet. It's the next thing I need to sort out before I'll actually get to my ideal healthy weight. Overall I'm happy I managed to keep doing the steps when I've been working and overall tired throughout the day. Cya next week.

 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
