September 10k a Day Club

[10kstepsaday]

Happy September Everyone!

We made it through the heatwaves and summer holidays!
I am so ready for the cooler weather, the start of Autumn and to get back into routine!

I wonder how many steps we can all do in September ?
Let's go!!!

I’m in awe.

14219 for me yesterday. Helped along by a bit of dancing. Back to work today 😞

Well done everyone, some impressive numbers on here!!

@Joolly2 thank you! I have not made any more progress 😆 this might be a longer term project! It's a Disney themed walled and I've started with Ariel 🧜🏻‍♀️ I am only copying as well! Nice to do something creative though!

Yesterday was 7.8k for me. I also had to go to a children's birthday party @husbandcallsmepickle

I am planning to do a 5K walk today 💪🏻

16147 yesterday 😊 and on about 3500 this morning even tho I’m still in bed 🤣🤣 late nights!

driving home today then have 3 days at work before I have about 10 days off 😊

I've managed 5100 steps and 5050 for the prior day so getting there slowly

16K for me today whoop!!
2 days of lots of driving coming up though will do what I can with that!

10038 steps today. I feel like I'm still getting back into the swing of things at work so my steps should increase a but more

@10kstepsaday @WorthySloth you are both smashing it congratulations, great totals.
@grinandslothit any increase in steps is worth celebrating, and will soon add up ,well done.
@husbandcallsmepickle on target, it must be difficult balancing work and steps.
11,248 steps today. Shame about the 2 ice creams and half bar of chocolate. Where is my self control when I need it. 😠

Just over 10k yesterday. Was hoping to go out with my walking group when we got home but got stuck on the motorway 😭😭 took over 6 hours to do a 4 hour journey.

working the next 3 days so probably fairly low steps. Then I have just over a week off yippee 😊

Ooooh I have a shift with a lot of walking today so that’s helpful! Will wait and see what my steps are like 😊

20165 in the end. Plus I saw alpacas and Pygmy goats and Shetland ponys so today was a good day 😁

10054 which is good going for me bearing in mind it has poured with rain all day so I didn't leave the building at work and I got a lift home so missed out on 2000+ steps by not walking

5.1K today boooooo
3 hrs driving an 5 hours sat in a meeting

@WorthySloth what a lovely day you've had, so jealous I love alpacas. 20,000 steps is insane. I don't know how you are going to top it tomorrow. 😀
@10kstepsaday sorry your day has been so rubbish, all that driving and sitting in meetings. So frustrating, hopefully tomorrow will be better.
@husbandcallsmepickle 10,054 is a great. That's 54 steps over the target so definitely a win.
I'm feeling very cross with myself. I've been at the ice cream and chocolate again. My self control must be on holiday. The rest of my diet has also taken a nose dive. I've given myself a good talking to and will aim to do better tomorrow. At least my steps were OK today10,306.

@Joolly2 pretty sure I won’t get anywhere near that today or tomorrow at work 🤣🤣 walking will doubtless be at a minimum 😊

Me too @WorthySloth
Some days are just like that aren't they
Today I did 5 hours of driving for a 2 hour meeting
Gad my eyes are stinging from tiredness

So far on 4.7k hopefully I can bump it up before bed

I’m definitely up for getting back into a proper routine this September! I find aiming for smaller walking targets much less daunting than thinking about 10k straight away, and the cooler weather makes getting outside so much more enjoyable

Odd thing happened this afternoon. Driving along looking at a blue cloudless sky wishing we could have some more rain. When out of nowhere 3 huge drops of water splash onto my windscreen. No other cars around, nobody using a sprinkler? How weird, must have been an in-flight wee from a passing bird. Unless it's gods sense of humour. Won't do anything for garden though.
Total today is 13,934

5861 yesterday in the end. Let’s see what today brings.

Much better day today 11.6k
It's evening out with my weekly average at 9.8k hurrah

That is funny about the rain appearing after your wish @Joolly2 I quite like things like that!

Hope you're all having a good week. I managed 12473 yesterday and 10944 (so far) today

Good evening all, just crawled over the line again with 10,181 steps. 10 days in a row 🎉 I think this may be my best month this year.
@husbandcallsmepickle good totals.
@harrietcumberbatch smaller targets are fine. Aiming too high too soon can be so deflating when you don't reach it. Much better to aim a bit lower and over achieve.
@10kstepsaday still no rain. I have been trying to manifest some. All it's done is give me a headache.😟 I'm obviously not very good at it or I'm doing it wrong.

10.4K today! Happy Friday!!

@Joolly2sending you rainy vibes!! ☔
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned!

I got off to a terrible start to the week with 5-6000 Monday-Weds. A bit of dancing on Thursday got me up to 11,200.

I had a day off work today and am up to 15,600. I’ll be pleased if I can average 10k over the week.

Has anyone ever used one of those under desk walking pads? Monitoring my steps is starting to make me resent my job a little bit!

Good totals everyone. Friday is a bit busier for us so I managed 11137 today.

10,396 steps today.
Everyone is doing really well with their steps. In the last 6 days, my steps have been 7 - 8K.
I am now aiming for 9k steps. I am slowly getting back into my flow of steps, calorie watching and working out. Slowly but surely.
I always find this time of the year tough, in a couple of weeks I should have come through this phase and be enjoying the change in colour of the leaves, loving the ability to go on walks & runs without breaking into profuse sweat before it's even 30 secs and looking forward to hearty soups and my end-of-the-day-everything-has-been-done-kids-are-in-bed cups of tea.
