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. My biggest fear about ending the 10,000 steps is that I might end up back where I was which I certainly don't want to happen. 

A stronger focus on more intense exercise regime as well as diet aspect will help me more effectively now that I'm down to a more realistic weight. 

Here's the results for this week - 


Nothing spectacular again but I'm still managing. There's still four weeks left of the blog posts and steps, I just wanted to make everything clear and sort of have a plan in place. Thanks for reading again and I will see you guys next week.

 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'
