10,000 Steps A Day: Week 19

Another week and another picture with my results! But this time I kinda messed up. So I assumed my steps were complete on Saturday the 6th but they weren't. I was 200 steps short of my 10,000. I don't see it as a big deal and I'm not that bothered by it, I mean, I know for a fact that I would of done those 200 steps walking around without my phone on me so that alone makes me feel better.

Last week it was my birthday and with that came lots of bad food and lack of exercise. On top of that I've got to deal with starting a new job and finding a new routine to exercise, eat and do everything else you need to do in life. I'm really looking forward to getting this 10,000 steps thing done because I'm finding that I really just don't have the time any more. I'm going to be starting college soon as well so that's another big time consumer. 

I'm having to write this blog update at 1.30am because I won't have time to write it tomorrow. I mean, I have time I guess but I enjoy doing my hobbies which happen to be very time consuming like playing video games. 

Here's the results for this week -


Diet is on the plan for next week, by diet I mean eat healthier and more controlled portions. Portion size is a big problem for me as I've always been a big eater. If i can fill myself up on more healthier things like veg then I could potentially lose weight whilst maintaining the portion sizes.

 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
