July - 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

Hey Everybody, Happy July!!

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 😃

As always I am resetting and aiming for the 10k everyday - I am still yet to achieve this as life just be life-ing however this thread has been very motivational and encouraging so please join in, and lets get stepping 😁

@10kstepsaday so sorry to hear you have received bad news. Sending you a big hug and sympathy. If you need some time away from the thread take it we will all understand. Steps are not important at the moment, but do try and get out in nature as much as you can. Look after yourself.

10,000 today, 10,300 yesterday.

17200 today. Really boosted my average for this month 👍

14382 today, but only 8000 yesterday - balances out though.

well done in double 10k @Joolly2 and 17000 @WorthySloth

Just under 13k today leaving me at 111k for the week 😊

Thank you all for your kind messages. I am still processing but today was a "better" day. 💕

Saturday I found myself keeping extra busy, probably as a way of distraction and finished at 16, 338. Yesterday was awful and I wallowed completely around, reaching 6.5k.
Today I'm at 13, 361. I hope you are all having wonderful weeks - another heatwave to contend with though !!

Lots of love to you @10kstepsaday 💕 be kind to yourself.

spent 5 hours in the car today but went for a walk when we got home. Currently on 9282 and not sure I have the energy to get up to 10k 😭😭 might try tho.

tomorrow I need to clean the house do laundry and some shopping. Left the kids at home for 10 days and apparently they didn’t realise you need to clean the bathroom 🤢

Somehow managed just over 11k. Surprised by that.

The weather has started to get to me. By 11.00 am I was hiding in the house again. Only managed just over 7k today.
Great totals everyone, wish I had your energy.

Oh mine will be down this week. Currently waiting for my tea to cool down so I can drink it before cleaning my absolute pit of a house 😭😭 I’m going to be busy today but probably not rack up loads of steps

@WorthySloth similar for me today, busy but no steps - literally I did 2300! In reality it’s more, but no watch on do wasn’t tracked, but the main reason is I didn’t go go a purposeful walk.

11, 580 today 🙂
Sports day @ the school tomorrow - nice cool day for it too 😝

Managed 8.5k in the end. Hopefully going for a walk tomorrow evening so 🤞 that should be better.

Hi. I last posted my steps for 3nd July. I took a break from dieting/working towards losing weight/trying to become healthy. I have fallen off the wagon.

3rd July - 4458 steps
4th July - 12,897 steps
5th July - 10,005 steps
6th July - 10,161 steps
7th July (today) - 12,234 steps

@Joolly2 , how are uou today?

Today wasn't the hottest it's been recently (past few weeks) but I really struggled with the heat today even with the cool breeze which is usually absent!

@10kstepsaday , how was today for you? Hope it was 'better'. I see you are keeping busy. Great steps.

Evening all, just scraped 10,170 very pleased with that.
@Onegramatatime struggling is the word I'd use, but I am determined not to waste my life hibernating. 😁. I woke dog up really early this morning and took him for a walk. He was very confused, he like me, likes his sleep. I even managed to do some gardening all before 9.00am.
@WorthySloth 8.5k is a good total in these weather conditions.
@10kstepsaday I really hope sports day is in the morning. 🥵

It's coolest in the morning. I find myself going out in the morning 'so at least i have experienced some cool weather '!
I don't know why i think that but whether I like it or not, i find myself outside at 5am walking around enjoying the cool weather.
Probably why i am struggling these past few days - my sleep has been cut short.

Went out for a walk with my walking group this evening did 3.75 miles and got my steps to 11800. Hot now tho

Feeling similar @WorthySloth - I was fine walking around this evening but now back at the house and feel boiling.

my watch ran out on my way home so didn’t count all my steps. I have 9700 logged but fairly certain I am over 10000. It’s too hot to match around inside 😆 hopefully I will get the magic number logged by bed

Evening All! 12, 208 today.
@Joolly2 yes thank god, sports day was in the morning. Still roasting though, felt so sorry for them all running around !!
@Onegramatatime thank you, yes I have weirdly managed to do really well with my steps, and I haven't been for any outdoor walks recently. I think I am pottering around the house more to keep busy. I am doing OK though thankyou, I am still processing but doing a lot of supporting others in the family where the grief is greater. Not sure if that makes sense!

Well done everyone on the awesome steps!

Good evening all.
It has seemed much hotter today. Managed a shortish walk with dog this morning but forgot to put my watch on. Finished day on roughly 5k 😕
@WorthySloth I feel hot just reading that.
@Onegramatatime 5am ! Is that even a time?

15,077 steps today (yesterday as it's 1:53am now).

@10kstepsaday , it makes sense. Glad you are doing okay.

@Joolly2 , i know!! I have always woken early though. When I used to run i would wait till 5:30am then go for a run (before work). But the heat is driving me out.

7k today. Fairly happy with that as it’s a work day which can be challenging 😊

Currently 8431 - hopefully I will get a few more in but likely under 10k - too hot to mind much though!

5077 steps

A very long long long day shift! Just over 17hrs. Lots & lots of steps. Forgot my watch at home..definitely did over 10K steps. The 5077 were done after getting back from work. Then we to bed abd crashed. Just waking up.
Have a lovely day, everyone.

On 9340. I could increase it to 10k but I genuinely think I am going to melt so I won’t.

I think I've become nocturnal. House is in darkness during the day, and I creep outside after dark. My circadian rhythms are well and truly shot. Managed 7k today - Friday. Yesterday Thursday managed 8k. How much longer is this hell going to last?
