10,000 Steps A Day: Week 13

I realised today that it's week 13 which is an over achievement on my original goal of 12 weeks. I actually completely forgot about achieving my goal in last weeks post. I know after I started it changed to a year but just completing the original goal was pretty nice. The past week has been pretty simple, besides my toe hurting at the start of the week, nothing really unusual. Diet is again a problem, I've been looking into cooking freezer meals and trying to plan out and prepare so that way I minimize the possibility of eating so much crappy food.

The first meal I've got planned is meatballs! Not particularly healthy but it's home cooked with plenty of vegetables added in and not nearly as many meatballs as I'd usually have. I'm hoping to dish this out into plastic contains which I'll then freeze. I'm not entirely sure about the reheating process as I haven't actually done it yet, but I think if I just defrost a container overnight, then use the next day it should be fine. Probably will be able to reheat in the pan. I'll stop talking about cooking now, this is for walking!

Another thing I've been thinking about is joining a gym, I'm going to start travelling to the centre of town pretty often soon so I that does happen, I might as well get a membership at somewhere cheap. Weightlifting is always fun and I'd love to get back into that, as well as the cardio machines.

Here's the results for this week -

The gym is just speculation at this point so I'm not going to plan anything for that, I'll probably stick to walking for the time being. That's it for today, busy times ahead.

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 22

Only four more weeks until I've reached the six month mark at which point I will be ending this. It's been very fun so far but with work and very soon college picking up, it will be too difficult to manage the 10,000 steps a day. Most recently I've found myself more and more walking around my flat to finish the last steps which I don't think is very genuine or natural. I don't really have a choice however because it's difficult to wind down and get to sleep if you have to go out and walk around town for a while before hand. This won't be the end of my blogging though, I'm thinking of starting to write about my weight, diet and exercise in more detail. I've been planning on joining a gym so I can exercise more vicariously in a shorter amount of time. I weighted myself for the first time in a few weeks and I'm actually pretty happy with the results. I haven't gained weight like I thought and I have actually lost a few pounds which is great.
