Hello Again Everyone 🤩

Welcome to the May thread for recording your daily steps!
Everyone welcome, whatever your goal is and however you track it 😃

I feel May is going to be a trickier month for me, as I am on holiday for 2 weeks (and plan on spending most of it horizontal in the sun 🤣) however I will still be aiming for 10k where I can and joining in with the accountability.

This thread previously has been so motivational and encouraging so I just know May is going to be another awesome month for everyone, with lots of lovely sunny walks incoming!! ☀️

Evening all,

@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup wow well done!!

@10kstepsaday yes it really was, a good outcome though.

That saud, I totally crashed today, absolutely exhausted. WFH day and have barely moved all day. Less than 5k!

Joolly2 · 06/05/2026 21:53

@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup 30k!! You are going to need another holiday to get over this one. I've managed a more modest 13,628 😄

Hi all
didnt get to 10k again today / early mornings and long walks make the difference to me and did neither today 🤦🏽‍♀️
but still walking and moving more than I usually do so it’s all good!

Well done to all of you smashing it!

@Onegramatatime 😄, I'm too lazy to get up and take a photo so I have to balance my watch on my leg. I'm a bit kakhanded and need two hands to take the photo on my tablet. I can't get my watch to talk to my tablet so I have to do it the old school way.

10.2k for me yesterday, just from daily activity and a short (15mins) outside walk. Had to stride around the house at 11.45pm to tick over the 10k barrier!

OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup · 07/05/2026 18:50

@Joolly2i was literally running round the hotel at 11.59pm trying to get to 30thousand! 🤣.
I think it was a one off as we went on a day trip that involved loads of walking and I'd been for a run.
I'm at a very modest 7,500 so far today though maybe a bit of dancing later will get me to 10k.

10kstepsaday · 07/05/2026 20:09

7.4K for me today

Well done Everyone 🥳
@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoupreading your posts always makes me want to go dancing!! 💃

Started great on Monday but slowed down a bit mid week due to work - still very happy as I wanted to use this month to get consistently over 5k a day and used to wearing Apple Watch all day to track movement as well as steps.

@10kstepsadayi love,love,love music and dancing. There is a biker bar here in Playa Dorada and there is a band on every night so I've been dancing and singing my little heart out each night before I go to bed 🤣

SilenceInside · 08/05/2026 00:13

Busy day today and feeling really quite tired so only managed 8.5k steps.

Onegramatatime · 08/05/2026 06:21

Steps for yesterday.
I don't seem to be back to normal since Monday. Have done no workouts and rested.

Love that I found this thread to keep me motivated! Had a better day yesterday after a terrible start to the week due to work. Going for a swim this morning, not steps but looking forwards to getting some exercise in.

@Spottyblobby wow! How do you get that many steps in? That’s amazing!

Illbefinejustbloodyfine · 08/05/2026 10:49

Just about managed 10k yesterday, havent run all week. Need to get back to it very soon, makes such a difference

Played a team sport yesterday evening, it’s always easier to get moving when there’s a group of you doing it. Then realised once I’d got home we had no milk so had to walk up the shop! Will be much lower today for sure.

Joolly2 · 08/05/2026 17:49

Another gallop round the living room to get the last 200 steps, over shot
my target so have a 40 step bonus!
@Onegramatatime I toyed with the idea of changing into my pj's just so you would have a change from denim but I'm too tired 😄
@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup running round a hotel at 11.59pm will just confirm to foreigners that British people are strange.

Hello all, happy Friday. Went for a walk with my pal this evening and did a bit of ferrying around of children so a good day today (to make up for a rather lazy day yesterday)

😆 we love denim.
That's made me laugh.

OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup · 08/05/2026 23:50

Smashed the 30k barrier ...wahoo!
This will not be a regular thing ...just been doing lots of exploring and dancing...off for a baileys nightcap to reward myself 😇

13,240 steps.
About 9,000 of these steps were 'brisk steps' according to the NHS fitness app but ChatGPT burst my bubble. It wasn't too impressed, said 'you will be surprised how little difference it makes...' (calorie burn wise) between brisk steps and non-brisk steps! Really ChatGPT?!

Anyway, have a lovely weekend everyone.
@10kstepsaday , thanks for this group.
