May - 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

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!! ☀️

Welcome @Chocolattcoffeecup , @ItIsAlwaysSwingsAndRoundabouts and @StillCreatingAName . It's lovely to have you. Really great steps.

Been absent for a few days, was feeling really poorly and completely lost my mojo. My steps for Saturday were 5330. For Sunday was 2662.
Today, I am trying to get back into keeping healthy but feel totally wiped out. My steps are 12,435.
Not sure about tomorrow, will see how i feel.
The weather has been grey, wet and miserable today. Looking the same for the rest of this week. Weekend Looking less wet.
I will have a look at the walking video on YouTube, didn't know about it.

Evening all, Im behind on the thread, just posting my last 3 days. Still havent been for a run but over 10k each day so happy with that

@Onegramatatime sorry to hear you have been poorly, hope you will feel better soon. Well done on getting steps, don't over do it.
I've made it to 10k but really should be putting in more effort. I've been settling for 10k and not pushing myself. Still tomorrows another day.
@10kstepsaday your cookies sound yummy.

I did about 15K yesterday which was partly from the step workout I did

@Chocolattcoffeecup was it a home workout? i absolutely love step workouts - one of the only ones where I get the feel good factor. Unfortunately my dh has taken over my step as our bed is super high and he had a hernia op but he seems to have become attached to it!

Hello everyone ...just doing a quick check in as it's been manic since I got back from Lanzarote on Sunday ..had a funeral yesterday, college course enrollment this morning and I'm just about to head off to work . Will try and catch up on posts this evening. Hope you are all okay x

@Clearingaspace Yes but it was just a made up one rather than one I followed. I put music on and did my own thing. I subscribe to Les mills on demand so I might start doing their step workout again. I do love a step workout. You might need a new step if you can't get it back!

Hi I’ve managed to lock myself out and can now only log in with an old account 🤣

Hope you feeling better @Onegramatatime
Had a cracking start to the week and making the most of gym membership with classes and walking there.

Am shattered and hopefully will get an early night! No gym tomorrow and out for a meal in the evening so will have to get up and out early in the day.

Not sure about anyone else but I really do have to make such an effort to get out and hit the 10k - its been hard work and hoepfully am building good habits and a foundation - but it’s hard work!!

Well done everyone

10.6 K for me today!
A lunchtime walk to break up a bit of a stressful WFH day.
All ok though! Also did 30 min on bike this morning and a 25 min stretch just now to try and unwind a bit.

@Chocolattcoffeecupi use to have LMOD and use to really love it! I miss it!

This thread, with everyone doing so well, is definitely motivating me to keep going.
used walking pad (3 times throughout the day) and managed to hit 10k.

Well done everyone!

I have done over 17000 today 😮 weirdly I am not physically tired but I do feel sleepy! Still have the after dinner clean up to get started though.

@Chocolattcoffeecup ooh yes les mills, i might resubscribe at some point! Will have a look on YouTube there might be one on there.

Strange day, took dog for a walk with my watch in my pocket. It didn't record half my steps. I've done the walk loads of times and know roughly how many steps it should be. So my final total should be 13,179 roughly. I also did a 40 minute workout. Think I will feel that tomorrow.
@Clearingaspace great total.
@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup welcome back.
@Onegramatatime hope you are feeling better.

@Joolly2 , thanks for asking. I am being careful not to overdo it. Just taking my time. My watch does this thing were it will not count my steps overnight because I am sleeping or meant to be sleeping!! (i am not, i am moving around).

@minnymoobear , yes, i am feeling better. Thanks for asking. Do you enjoy the gym - like going everyday?

Steps today 15430. I have to go downstairs in a bit, the watch is not going to record those steps! Weird watch!!!!

Abysmal day today! Not sure what happened but weather was shite, no scheduled gym sessions, ignored the walking pad and was out from 5pm at an event - we go again tomorrow!

Hope everyone else did better than me today! I am going to work on averages and aim for 70k for the week - which frankly sounds impossible right now!

You got this @minnymoobear

I like it when I check my daily total and it's a nice round number 😆

No excuse for the poor count today. A bit stiff from the exercise yesterday but really should and could have done better. Never mind tomorrow is another day.
@Onegramatatime comforting to know someone else has a watch with a mind of its own. It doesn't help that I have no idea how to use half the functions, i could do with some help in that direction but there's never a child around when you need them.

My phone changed its mind about the + 17000 steps and made them a bit lower the next day (c16700); unless I hallucinated the higher number?!

10,992 yesterday, I like round numbers too so if I had realised before bed I might have marched on the spot for a minute to get it to 11,000, that’s probably taking things too far! Either way I am happy as I did a decent weights workout - although I slightly put my back out so need to be careful.

Haha @Clearingaspace I am glad it's not just me.

I am only at 5.7 for today after a busy day at work, lots of driving etc.

so interesting to read about watches (and phones) miscalculating or refusing to count steps!
my phone and watch never align when it comes to steps (I always go with the higher reading 😂)

managed 11,030 steps yesterday and today 11.800 today. Unfortunately they’re all on walking pad, but for the morning ‘walk’ I do use incline to get the heart rate up a little.

Yesterday, 12,055 steps. Fell asleep the moment I logged onto MN last night!!

Today, 10,650 steps. Still moving around so will get higher. Don't want to fall asleep today before i check and say hi.

@Joolly2 , how are you today? Hope the stiffness has eased up a bit. I have a few of those - kids that are no where to be seen when you want them. And it's a very humble abode but I was still thinking of putting trackers on them!!

@Clearingaspace , i am sure you didn't hallucinate. I am beginning to think those devices are waging a secret campaign against us (maybe because we are working them harder)!

@Clearingaspace it's a good job step counting isn't a matter of life or death 😄
I've just managed 10,085 (or have I, maybe more, maybe less 😄 who really knows?)

Evening /morning all. I only managed 8000 steps yesterday but I have already started on todays 🤣

Hi
forgot to post last night and was panicking a bit in the morning but did a lunchtime walk which made a huge difference and another one after work.

for me those big ones make a massive difference to my motivation to then round up to 10k steps, so have to try really hard to get out and get those done in some way.

Today have been on an hours walk while on the phone so had a great start and at 8k by 1pm ish

8.2K for me today!
Glad it's the weekend!

Hope everyone is doing ok 😃

😂 love the idea our step counters are messing with us as a protest at having to count more steps!

yesterday I did over 13000 and today 11000. My average for the week is 12900 which I am surprised by. Will aim to average over 13000 next week.
