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 🤩

No storms at all over here. A few scanty showers this morning... like it's peeping in and saying, 'hi, I will see you one day'.

@10kstepsaday , definitely still feeling it. A big yes to another thread for September. Please, ignore the reduced engagement. August has just been so busy... and work is absolutely disproportionately increasing it's load by the day. Aaargh! I haven't even read ANY book this August!

I had a few days feeling under the weather and I haven't quite gotten back to my normal self. Whatever oomph i have (including Sat & Sun), has been directed towards work. I am barely moving.
Steps:
21st - 6069
22nd - 13066
23rd - 2323
24th - 5076
25th - 8014
26th - 2258

That's great @Onegramatatime
August for sure has been so crazy!!
I look forward to a reset for September!
Same no books read over here either!😥

My steps for today are at 13.1K
The kids bedtimes have been absolutely shocking this last couple of weeks so I am aiming to tired then out as much as possible with a daily big walk! A few protests along the way but ice cream bribery kept them going to the end!

5287 today. Sleeping in at work so can’t really add a anything to that

I have used a lot of ice-cream bribery myself this summer holidays, so effective.

When we get back to being able to read books, i think that would be a sign that we are feeling better organised and more 'on it'.

Steps today 2545 so far. A few more may get added on, but only a few. And it's a strong 'may'.

@Onegramatatime I did pick up my Kindle today!!
I have missed it!

I am just over the 10K today @ 10,022 steps.
Off to bed now.
Happy Bank Holiday Weekend everyone 🙂

Very nice! Great steps!!
Lucky you picking up your kindle. I am so looking forward to when i have that space and time again.

I have been in front of a computer all day. Still in front of it now.. I am determined to get some work stuff sorted.

We got some light rain today in the morning for an hour and then some medium - sort of heavy-ish rain again at 3:30pm for about 30 minutes but it had thunder and dark skies. So that's seeious rain, right? (Though tbh the rainfall didn't match all the thundering!)
Steps today - 2915.
I have barely moved today.

Yesterday 7070
today 10794

tomorrow will be fairly low as I know who I have at work. It’ll be nice though.

@Onegramatatime only for 10 mins or so!
Working at 11.30pm on a Friday is intense!! I hope you get a much deserved rest this weekend 🫶🏻

Well done @WorthySloth

Today 10, 095
Just ticked it over. Have had a draining day and feel a bit meh this evening.

Good evening all, I have 3 days worth of numbers to give. 10.200, 8.730, and 3,986. I seem to be on a slippery slope. Today has been rubbish, did an hour pilates class this morning and pretty much nothing else. I could try blaming the rain but really it was me being lazy. No self control 😠 Never mind, tomorrow is another day and I have every intention of being good.
@Onegramatatime not much of a holiday weekend for you by the sounds of it. We had serious rain yesterday with huge hail stones thrown in for good measure. I was so happy, wanted to dance around the garden. Probably would have ended up a headline in the tabloids, woman killed by hail stones whilst dancing in her garden.
@10kstepsaday hope your spirits have lifted and you have had a good day.
@WorthySloth doesn't sound like you've had much of a break this weekend. Hope you get some time to yourself this week.

29th Saturday - 7,614 steps
Yesterday - 1,738 steps
I have eventually gotten to a place with work where i can breathe! Yayyyyy. Still some outstanding work but I have sorted a lot of the most urgent.
@10kstepsaday , hope today is a better day for you. Lots of people around here planning get-togethers, music, hanging out. Someone in our area went round a few days ago posting invitations to come hangout in a nearby beautiful park, bring your own food and games. I thought that was nice.
@10kstepsaday , i know that happiness of eventually having a good rainfall. Hailstones! You got some serious rain. Apart from the hesitant performance of the rain a ?couple of days ago, we haven't had any other rainful appearances, just threats of it - very dark skies, 1 or 2 drops of something wet from the sky then few minutes later, bright blue skies & smiles all around.
@WorthySloth , how was yesterday? Trust you are good. Just checking in.

@Midlifeshenanigans , how are you getting on? We (all) seem to be having a slow period. I am looking at it as a kind of recovery period.
@Unfollowmethen , how are the morning & evening short walks going?

I hope to rejoin life and participate fully now.

Once i get rid of the exhaustion.

6.2K for last day of August. Monthly average is 7.9k!
Not great but not terrible. Looking forward to September reset. Will sort out a shiny new thread for everyone 🤩

Sorry I have been MiA all of August! My ankle was playing up so I decided not to push for 10k steps a day, then had a little holiday and also had loads of house stuff going on and have been decorating which doesn’t rack up steps as I don’t want to get paint on my devices 😁 I only logged 693 steps yesterday but was absolutely cream crackered!

today was 6398, average for the week 8757 and average for August was 11238 so pretty good really.

Hi, are you doing one for September?

Hallo @Clearingaspace well done on all your decorating!! Hope you will join us in September 🤩

Yes @Bringmebacktothe90s welcome along 😁

Finishing with a flourish on 11,141. Feeling positive about September, see you all on the other side.

August average was 10019 so I’m happy with that. Will try harder for September tho 😊

Well done @Joolly2 and @WorthySloth😁
