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 🤩

12409 yesterday. Today I am spending approximately 8 hours in the car and going to a funeral so not expecting many steps

10,592 steps today.
8 minutes of rain today, unexpected but very welcome.
@WorthySloth 8 hours in the car sounds hellish.
@10kstepsaday so jealous of your storm, would love one here.

@10kstepsaday , glad you are getting your groove back. Nice steps. We didn't get any rainstorm yesterday. How did we get .missed out?

@Joolly2 thank you. I am on the mend. I love your writing style (& your sense of humour😁). You are getting in some good steps. I stepped out today - no choice - GCSE results day. DD did really well.

@WorthySloth , well done on your steps.

Tuesday - 5,123 steps
Wed - 4,843
Today - 11,690

3372 yesterday. As expected. Had a really good night’s sleep and today I will mostly be cleaning my house.

10,016 steps today.
@Onegramatatime congratulations to your daughter on her results. It's such an anxious time waiting for the results isn't it.
@WorthySloth Hope your house is as shiny as a new pin. I must follow your example tomorrow and reclaim my house from dust and clutter. Made a start by popping out this morning to buy supplies ready for the big clean up. However, I managed to choose a trolly with a broken leg and clonked my way round the shop. The noise was deafening, everyone looked to see who was making such a racket. 🫣 Lost my enthusiasm for cleaning after that.

3761 yesterday. @Joolly2 I cleaned my bathroom and living room then lost the will to live 🤣🤣 2 of the kids have bought new bedroom furniture so all their stuff is in the hall and on the landing which was annoying me 🤣🤣

Ive told them to get it all sorted this weekend otherwise I’m putting what’s left in the car and taking it to the tip on Monday morning 🤣🤣

ooooh I tidied my room as well although I need to do a bit of reorganising in there.

Morning everyone. My stats for the last ten days have been all over the place - lots of walking but also hours and hours in the car. My best day was 18,014 (included a Parkrun/walk) and worst was 3,408. So I’m still not achieving consistent levels of activity. I’ve got a super busy week next week but I’m going to schedule in some short walks morning and evening and aim to be hitting 7500 a day during September. Any top tips for staying motivated?

On 18500 so far. Work days are weird I either do nothing or loads 🤣🤣

I can't believe you guys didn't get the storm too!!
It was glorious!! I think more storms are coming next week!

Well done everyone on all your steps and by the sounds of it lots of cleaning and decluttering 🤩

I'm at 10.5K for today.
Very up and down over here too!
I am looking forward to Sept, kids back at school and some routine!!!

Ending the day on 19707. Average for the month is over 10k even with my rubbish days.

Today's total is 12,625, I was chuffed with that until I saw your total @WorthySloth . Also I'm yet to start my cleaning, I keep coming up with excuses to put it off till tomorrow and you know what they say about tomorrow - tomorrow never comes. 😄

@Joolly2 expecting today to be much lower 🤣🤣 was going to get up and get some steps in before work but I…… didn’t 🤣🤣

My monthly average is just 7.5K for August!!

I need to change my username to something Sloth related 🤣 @WorthySloth you are the opposite!x

4,450 steps today 😱 Got up and went to pilates, home for a leisurely breakfast and then it all went downhill. I spent a long time thinking about all the jobs I need to do, then I thought about the order I should do them in. Then I decided to have an early lunch before getting started. After lunch I had a nap 🫤 Basically what I am trying to say is I've wasted the day, and have nothing to show for it. ☹️

7677 yesterday. Work today will probably get a walk in at some point.

Monthly average is just over 10k. Hopefully keep it at that.

good luck everyone!

Just over 18k today. That’ll help my monthly average

Yesterday I only managed 8,000. Today I got to 10,762 🙂

8351 yesterday 😊

Well done everyone 🤩
We have another storm coming this way tonight 🌩️
So glad it is much cooler now!

I went shopping today and parked at a further away car park and made the kids walk with me 🤣 as a result I have done 12.5k 🥳 and the kids asleep early 🥳🥳
My conclusion is retail therapy everyday to get the steps in!
Haha!

How are you all doing?
I feel like August has been such a flop for me with steps and routine. I am hoping to smash it in September - if people are still wanting to continue with the thread?

12,623 steps today. Most of them in the hottest part of the day, not my idea of fun. I'm now sat with the live thunder storm app on, watching the storms get closer and closer. So excited, I really want a storm.

August has been a very hit and miss month for me to. I've got my fingers crossed for September. Please can we do another thread.

The storm has missed me completely, it's not fair, I want my storm. 😥

8936 yesterday but I did totally reorganise my wardrobes and took stuff to the charity shop so a good day tbh. Currently in bed listening to the rain and delaying getting up 🤣🤣 work today let’s see how that goes

Well done @Joolly2
Yay for another thread, I wasnt sure if people weren't feeling it any more 😅
Sorry the storm is missing you out 😥

Well done @WorthySloth
Love a good sort out!! Hope work goes ok today!

Work is going to be a low step day today. That’s ok.
