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 the next few months I should be able to manage.

An unexpected factor in controlling the types of food you eat is the money. People say healthy food isn't expensive if you get the right stuff but unfortunately the majority of people don't know how to make the cheaper and healthy ingredients into a tasty meal. I'd consider myself one of them but I'm actively researching meals that I can make. I'm leaning towards basic meals such as chicken breast, rice and vegetables recently which gets boring pretty quick.

Here's this weeks results -

That's it for this week as I've gotta get ready for work. Thanks for reading.

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 24

Two days late this time, I'd be lying if I said that my heart was in this as much as it used to be but it just isn't. The main thing that has just killed me in terms of state of mind and just pro activeness is working. It really did stop any extra effort I had to focus on this. I'm not sure why that is, I see plenty of people function normally whilst working but for me I don't seem to be able to do it. This week hasn't been interesting but at least I didn't miss the 10,000 steps on any day which is okay. The thing I've learnt the most from this is that a healthy diet is really key for weight management. I don't think I'm going to gain a ton more weight now that I'm working and will inevitably be walking less, especially after the next 2 week when I've finished the 6 months. The next step is just forcing myself into the gym, making the little time I have more effective and especially focus on my diet. I really need to sort it out as it'
