Happy Friday All!

@Clearingaspace I am going to watch that YT video. I am very interested in less time on my phone. Hiding the apps doesn't work for me 🤣 I have to delete them off my phone bc then I cba to re download and sign in. I am very aware of the DC seeing me on my phone a lot. Trying to replace it with them seeing me reading a book 😆👍🏻

Well done on your workout @Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain
Agree Joe Wicks is hard work!!

Well done everyone, fabulous step numbers.
Yesterday I finished at 8.8K. hoping to get nearer to 10 today 😃

@10kstepsaday , this is where i need to make a change too. I do need the kids to see me holding my phone less.
It's a terrible habit.
Great steps.

8911 steps so far today.

Busy weekend ahead.

Hey all, 10102 today but that included an awful lot of marching on the spot around my house as it was very wet and windy here. Did get out a couple of times in between to bump up the total.

Clearingaspace · 23/10/2026 22:05

Hope your shift went by quick @WorthySloth

@Onegramatatime i have a slight bit of muscle soreness in my glutes today which is quite exciting as apparently working the glutes helps sore knees! @Joolly2 snap, have been meaning to lift weights for months snd months. I am doing 20 minutes full body and only one set of weights so that makes it a lot easier. Previously I did Caroline girvan workouts which I loved when in the zone, but a bit too long and required bands and furniture and different weights etc - hope to get back there at some point.
have fun @10kstepsaday such a great feeling putting your n on he out of office! I definitely need to read more books too.

well done on wotkouts and steps @Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain @husbandcallsmepickle and @Droopydroopingdropped

Clearingaspace · 23/10/2026 22:07

Gah my steps are 10075 and no workout time today

WorthySloth · 23/10/2026 22:48

8227 today. Was going to make it up to 10k before bed but then 2 of my daughters came and talked at me until I lost the will to live 🤣🤣 was good actually I’m glad they can talk to me about anything and everything 💕

Joolly2 · 23/10/2026 23:46

Evening all. Only just scraped 10,054 today.
@Clearingaspace I'm going to Google Caroline Girvan. I've not heard of her, and I like trying out new routines. Nothing wrong with 10,075.
@husbandcallsmepickle we've also had wet and windy weather today. Makes it difficult to get out and get steps.
@10kstepsaday hope you have a great week off.
@Onegramatatime love the idea that our watches are related. Husband can get to 10,000 in minutes just by playing a tune on his guitar. Life can be very unfair.
@WorthySloth how many daughters do you have? They were lucky to find you in, you always seem to be out having a great time. 😁.
Have a great week end everybody.

WorthySloth · Yesterday 08:02

@Joolly2 I have 4 daughters and a son. 3 daughters and my boy still live at home. Youngest is 18 now and just got a job thank goodness. It’s seasonal at Tesco but really hope they keep her on like they did her sister a couple of years ago.

Clearingaspace · Yesterday 12:24

Thats lovely about your youngest @WorthySloth it is really hard with jobs at the moment. My 3 are similar ages to yours by the sound of it. I have 2 girls and a boy, youngest dd is in year 11. Eldest, Ds, recently graduated and all jobs are so competitive. Luckily he still has his part time job he kept through uni

@Joolly2 my gah was because I keep waffling and having to double post because I forget to add my steps 😂 if you want to try a free Caroline girvan series then iron is a good place to start - it’s a complete series and amazing that it’s free on YouTube. You need to do a separate 5 minute warm up which I always forgot! Ideally you also need a band for your thighs as well as weights https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SCxNnWW2zB8

I had a morning walk and coffee with dh so at 6500 so far. Have a lovely day everyone, I am guessing it’s a cosy staying in watching movies type of day depending how the weather goes!

@Onegramatatime it is! I got a few library books out today to encourage me to read instead of scroll.

@husbandcallsmepickle very stormy here too!!
Hope everyone is keeping safe!

@Clearingaspace and @Joolly2 I have done quite a few of CG workouts, they are very good! I find them hard though! I wish I had her physique!! She is a machine!

Today has been busy with children's birthday parties and library visits and bath times and yet I have done 6.3k and now I'm pooped. I am planning to do a 1 hr workout tomorrow to up the steps. I haven't done any workouts today or yesterday and don't want to lose the habit.

11,387 today
Lucky to get that many today
Have a lovely extra hour of sleep tonight all x

WorthySloth · Yesterday 20:46

Today I was RD at parkrun then had to walk to the shops then had to walk to the storage shed to take the finish tokens back. All in pouring rain and howling wind 🤣🤣

have done just over 10k steps so I’m happy. Going to have an early night because I have 3 x 12 hour shifts in a row before my trip to see Korn on Wednesday. Yippee.

Clearingaspace · Yesterday 21:37

So. late this evening i realised I had left it too late to order some birthday pressies for dc3 so I had to do an emergency dash to the shopping centre and ended up at over 19000 steps 😳 I also had already completed another YouTube nml 25 minute all body strength workout, but this one was be was a bit too hard/fast for my 6kgs and creaky knees - more or less got through it.

@10kstepsaday you are my workout inspiration! I was very tempted to resign up for l lmod when you said you were doing it but I stayed strong. Last time I had it the amount of workouts I did over the year were pitiful! You have probably already done more than me 😂

Joolly2 · Yesterday 22:47

Evening all, so tired, my eyes are closing. 10,176 steps. Off to bed while I still have the energy to climb the stairs.
