10,000 Steps A Day: Week 20

Tough week this week, been really struggling with motivation not just to get up and walk but to keep doing this Blog. I know this is because I've started working and have so little time that it's just really tough to fit the walking in when I'm working all day. This is where a manual labour job would be beneficial but I struggle to find the energy for that so office environments are best for me.

I'm still going though and I'm making an effort to go for my walks during the day rather than the evening after work. Recently I've been getting lifts home and having a whole extra hour at the end of my day is really making a difference and I don't want to pass that up.

Another big factor that's stopping me from going on my walks is the heat. It's almost full on British summer which isn't really known for being much but it's really humid and for a fat guy who sweats a lot that is the worst.

Diet is just kinda whatever is available at the moment, still working on eating smaller portions and healthier meal options. This isn't something I'm going to be able to do quickly as I'm trying to change a lifestyle.

Here's the results for this week -

Yeah I did it again, I'll try to remember for next time. There isn't really anything special, this week I've been doing the bare minimum. I can tell I've hit that wall where exercise isn't going to help me any more and it's now about the fundamentals like my lifestyle and eating habits.

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
