June - 10k a Day Club

[10kstepsaday]

Hello Everyone, Happy June 🤩

Here is our monthly thread for recording your daily steps, and having a chat along the way. Everyone is welcome, whatever your goal is and however you track it 😃

May was a bit of a flop for me, as I was away and out of routine.
I know for others, with the UK heatwave it was a tricky one some days!
Now I am ready and raring to go for June, and I am hoping to hit the 10k every single day!

As always this thread has been very motivational and encouraging so please join in, and lets get those steps in 😁

15240 today. 79458 for the week 😊 that’s ok then.

Well done everyone!

14864 today and 3 sets of calf raises on the kitchen step!

Yesterday I managed 10k plus. I also did an hour long pilates class.
At the weekend my grandson ( autistic) kindly pointed out that I have bingo wings. 😱 So off I dashed to Argos and purchased a pair of hand weights. My ambition is to take them out of the box, not managed it yet, and follow some YouTube videos. They promise a noticeable difference in 3 months. We shall see. Old age sucks.

After a slow start I decided to go out with my walking group tonight so I’ve ended on just over 13.5k. Pleased with that.

So my daily average for last week was 10,300. But i didn’t hit 10,000 every day so need to be more consistent. Just under 15k today. But I need to be strict tomorrow and not think I can slack off just because I had a good day today!

My total for today is only 7,860 but I'm happy with that. I've had to be at home for most of the day so I was expecting a decrease in steps. I think I'll be able to make the deficit up during the week.
@JulietteHasAGun @WorthySloth good totals. I do miss the walking group I used to belong to. Walking with a group makes the time fly and the steps climb.

Well Done everyone 😊
My total today was 10,580 helped along by a 35 min step workout on youtube!

@Joolly2 hope you get on ok with the handweights!

Hi, everyone.
Missed posting for a few days.
A family member had a massive 50th birthday celebration on Saturday. It was a beautiful and fun. Started at 3pm, we left at 1am!
I resumed work yesterday, after being off sick for 4 months (surgery). It was a lot.
But a good day.

Well done, everyone on getting the steps in. Really consistent and determined bunch we are.

My steps for :
Saturday - 16,779
Sunday - 11,737
Monday - 11,864

Have a lovely day, everyone.

Sounds like a fun celebration @Onegramatatime I don't think I could last till 1.00am these days 😅
Well done for first day back to work, 4 months is a long time! I was off sick last year for 4 weeks and getting back into the groove took a while, so I can imagine it will take some time.

Today I am finishing at 10, 268. I got home from work at 2.00pm and so at 2.30 decided to go for a 30 minute walk before the school pick up. I also had to reset my watch today as it wouldnt connect to my phone, and very annoyingly it has deleted ALL my data 😓so all the wonderful steps I've recorded since starting these threads have gone. Boo!!

Oh no @10kstepsaday thats so upsetting about your log of steps. I would be very miffed. Is there anything you could uninstall and reinstall maybe? I clearly have no clue about technology

@Onegramatatime hope your return to work is going ok - party sounds great fun.

@Joolly2 would it be worth asking on your local area Facebook group, there might be some groups you could join? I would be shy to do this myself so totally get that you might not fancy joining a new group but could be fun!

yesterday was over 18000 and I did a 15 min weights workout - slightly gutted to have had zero weightloss this morning. Today is 11851 so far, my side quest/ exercise snack was heel raises then wall sits while waiting with dh for a medical appointment. I don’t think anyone noticed hopefully!

Can I join please as I started a 10k step a day challenge (for myself) at the beginning of the month, and, so far, have managed it everyday.

Today's total - 10,521

Haven’t updated so far in June, so here’s a screenshot of my steps so far. Happy to have made the 10k every day so far. Sometimes only just! Really trying for the consistency this month. Due to the horrible weather the treadmill is getting a lot of use!

@10kstepsaday , sorry to hear about the loss of all your steps/keep fit data. That's upsetting.

10Kstepsaday and @Clearingaspace , thank-you. Return to work so far is going okay. I need to remember not to put pressure on myself.
Yes, the party was a really good bash. I hadn't planned to stay that late at all but it was so good. Time just flew. I don't think even the celebrant thought it would go on that long.

My steps yesterday 12,390.

7971 steps yesterday as I was at work. Probably be low again today because I am in work 12 hours then sleeping in so won’t even get my walk home 😊

@Clearingaspace I have no idea! Also clueless with technology 😆

Welcome @taratill and well done on everyday this month!

Well Done @SilenceInside so good!!

Well Done @WorthySloth you are doing amazing!

Finishing today on 11, 193. Thats the most I have done for a while!
Probably due to doing a 20min cardio workout this morning combined with being on site at work. No chance to go out today for a walk.

10,346 steps yesterday. Only managed 7,442 today. The weather has been diabolical, torrential rain on and off.
@Clearingaspace the local group unfortunately meet and walk at a time and day I just can't manage. They also walk the same 4 routes on rotation, which gets a bit boring. Other groups exist but I would have to travel to them.
@10kstepsaday so sorry about your data. So frustrating when tech goes wrong. If you have posted your end of month totals at least you will have a record on here. Weights are out of the box and used for a 15 minute routine I found on YouTube. Going to aim for twice a week to start with.
@Onegramatatime congratulations on your return to work. 4 months off is a long time, hope it's a phased return, you don't want to over do it. Have you started your book yet?

Just a squeak over the 10k today, the weather really isn’t helping, we had thunder, rain and hail again today interspersed with short moments of blue sky.

As I suspected I have ended the day on 4049 steps today. I have been with a client who has limited mobility all day and as I am currently tucked up in bed at work I haven’t even had my walk home today 🤣🤣

tomorrow I will be walking home then back to work then I should be taking someone on a walk before walking home so hopefully will push my average up.

plan is to get 70k a week regularly and then push my daily steps up. I used to easily do 15k a day but that was when I was doing school runs and working in retail. Those days are long gone 🤣🤣

14,765 steps yesterday.

Thanks @Joolly2 . Yeah, phased return.
Have started 'Lessons in chemistry'. It was mentioned in our last thread. Really enjoying it. I have 'Where the Crawdads Sing' ready to go when I finish it.

@WorthySloth , you are doing great.

12143 yesterday plus short weights workout

11,167 yesterday

The weather is gross at the moment, agreed. Who would have thought it was June!!

Well Done @Joolly2 with the weights. I think strenght workouts are honestly my favourite!! I did upper body this morning - back and biceps!

Well Done @WorthySloth you are doing so amazing!!

@Onegramatatime I loveeeeed the book 'Lessons In Chemistry' - let us know how you get on!

Well Done @Clearingaspace and @taratill 😊

Today I am at 10, 227. Few laps round the living room just now to get to the 10k.
This week is whizzing by, Friday tomorrow!!

11541 today. Didn’t walk as far as expected because the client wasn’t in the mood.

work again tomorrow let’s see how that goes! Sleeping in again 😊
