August 10K a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

Happy August Everyone!!

Let's continue with all the steps, whatever your goal is feel free to join in 🤩

On 15598 so far today and it’s only 2:15pm 🤣🤣 starting the month well

Wowzer @WorthySloth
Look at you go!! Already smashing it 😃

Hi please can I join you? I need to get off the sofa and back to walking regularly. I have a post-viral fatigue issue so my energy fluctuates a lot but I am now 3 stone overweight which just makes me feel even worse. I need some accountability to get moving again even if some days it might only be around the block! Thank you 🙏

Yayyyy!! Our new thread!
Thank-you @10kstepsaday .

Welcome @Unfollowmethen . It's really helpful to have somewhere to be accountable and it's a really great supportive group too!

Ended the day on 17500. At work for the next 3 days so not expecting a great deal although I will continue to do some steps on the treadmill every morning to boost my steps and get my metabolism moving.

Good evening all,
Just had to walk around the living room to get over the line. I couldnt fail on the first day. Final total was 10,061.
Hello @Unfollowmethen hope you get the support you need from all of us.
@WorthySloth you are smashing it, I'm going to have to up my game.
@10kstepsaday thank you for the new thread.

Welcome along @Unfollowmethen 👋🏻

Well done @WorthySloth
Great start!!!

We love a few laps marching around the living room @Joolly2 😆

Finishing Day 1 at 11, 355 🥳
Today I visited a friend which was 2 hours of driving and then 2 hours of sitting with her eating cake and chatting! It was lovely but not great for steps 😅 when I got home I did a few hours gardening which helped rack up a few steps then lots of pottering around the house.

I have just started reading Ultra-Processed People, I feel like this book might have been discussed before on the thread but I can't remember! Has anyone else read this?

Well done on Day 1 everyone 😃

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, much appreciated 🙏

12,152 steps for me.

Is Ultra- processed people fiction? Have not heard of it before. Really interesting title. I will look it up.

Well done on 12k @Onegramatatime

No it's non-fiction, about the food industry and how UPF is affecting our health, and why we find it impossible to stop eating it! Very interesting so far!!

Thanks for the new thread @10kstepsaday and well done @WorthySloth @Joolly2 @10kstepsaday and @Onegramatatime on your first day of August totals. I got 7,189 yesterday and 10,930 today so happy with that. Back to the office tomorrow and will struggle to move far from my desk so need to find a way of incorporating some steps.

7k today. I was at work with a client who isn’t very mobile. Plus it just wasn’t a good day for me so I didn’t feel like trying to boost my steps when I got home. Currently in bed with a large g&t. Let’s hope tomorrow is better.

Well done @Midlifeshenanigans
I always find the WFH desk days a challenge!!

Well done @WorthySloth
Hope all ok ❤️

I am finishing today at 11, 001! That last 1 step makes all the difference FYI 🤣
We had a good day though! Played some Crazy Golf, a little bit of gardening, little bit of baking (gingerbread cookies, although I did forget the ginger.....so sprinkled some ground ginger on the top and hope for the best!) so yeah, nice Sunday. Frustrated it is back up to 30 degrees again tomorrow 😤 I love summer but this heat is tooooo too much!!! Hope everyone ok!

13,843 steps for me.

Husband finished work early and took me to the pub to decompress. So I ended on 8900.

last weeks total was 88441 which averages at 12k a day so happy with that

8935 for me today, spent the day catching up with family and friends at the park - far too hot really!!

Hope everyone had a good Monday ☀️

6662 today. It’s been a frustrating work day. Let’s see how tomorrow goes

14,183 steps for me.

Starting properly today - a walk with friends and a total of 11,367 steps. Hopefully won’t be too knackered tomorrow!!

Good evening all,
I've missed posting for a couple of days. My missing totals are a bit of a let down. Sunday - 5k, Monday 7k and today 10,159. I really wanted to get back to a consistent 10k a day, but I have been melting, and it has been so humid. Never mind tomorrow is another day.
@Unfollowmethen @Onegramatatime you seem to be smashing it, well done.

12,415 steps for me today.

@Joolly2 , thanks.. it is quite hot and humid. I have kept up with watering my plants but they are still all yellowing, drying up and ?dying. It's sad.

Yesterday was 6934 steps
Another hot day I spent sat in front of the fan working!

Hoping for cooler day today

6896 yesterday. Another frustrating work day. Off today though thank goodness

That’s better. 16390 today. Pulled my average up a bit!

A bit of marching around the living room got me to 10,054 today - phew! Off for a nice lie down now.
