10,000 Steps A Day: Week 11

Making it to week 11 is pretty cool. I didn't think I'd last this long and now that I really don't even have to think about it and still end up doing the steps, I think I'll make it to a year. The real question is what do I do after that year? I have in my head that this is keeping me in check, forcing me to be active. If I stop I think I'll go straight back to the way I was before. I guess we'll see when the time comes. This week has been okay, I haven't been working so I've had plenty of time to go for my walks and do other stuff about the house like decorating.

My diet is still pretty terrible but I think slowly I'm improving it. I'm still eating more than I should but I'm adding in more fruit and veg where possible. I've been drinking Cider a little more than usual because its getting hotter. Usually I'd drink once a week when I played D&D but recently its been 2 nights. I don't think this is a big deal as I only really have one or two bottles each night so I think the calories in them is negligible.

Here's this weeks results -

I just noticed that I named the file week 10 when it's week 11. Whatever. Nothing special, I'm still averaging about 8 thousand steps and then I just walk around for about 20 minutes to get the rest of my steps and hit that sweet 10 thousand. I've been doing some decorating this week as well, stripping the ways and such. It doesn't show on the pedometer because I'm stationary for the most part but it's certainly helping me build up a sweat.

I think I want to add like an update on my weight each week as well. I want to be overall healthier but realistically I do want to lose a few stone. I'm not sure if that's a bit too personal or not. I'll think about it. Cya next week.

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
