October 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

October thread!! 🍂
I am READY for some lovely autumnal walks!

Continues steppin here ⬇️

4498 yesterday. Not really the start to the month I was hoping for 😭😭 blummin work and driving getting in the way. Today should be a bit more productive 👍

Well done everyone on all your steps!!
I can't quite believe it but I have done 10k already today!!
I went for a 30 minute walk after the school run and then ended up on the phone for an hour with family and done the classic pacing around the house whilst chatting on the phone. Just sat down with a coffee, looked at my watch it says 10.2k 😱

Yesterday was 11.4k I fell asleep before posting!

@Clearingaspaceyou are not wasting your time when walking to the shops, you are doing something great for you physical and mental health by walking there and back 😃

@husbandcallsmepickle warm here too, very mild for October. I am a few hours away from Kent but sometimes travel there for work 👀

@Joolly2the mural is about 1/10th done 🤣
It is going to be a very slow project I think as I do it in bits in the evening if not too tired. Progressing though 🤩

@WorthySloth don't fret, you got this and I'm sure will be getting lots more steps in again soon!!

Morning and thanks for the great tips and warm welcome everyone. @10kstepsaday I can't believe you have done over 10k today already that's fantastic. Better get my skates on!

It's extremely unusual @Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain !!
In fact don't think I have ever done that before 🤣

@10kstepsaday that must feel so good, so many steps and it wasn’t even midday!

it took me a while to convince dh to get a walking pad, then I waited for the sales and went for it 😂
I try and use it after meals when home, and I’ve started using it whilst on calls (tend to call mum and sister everyday) so that helps.

I’ve been using my phone and charge 4 to record steps, they can be out by a few (sometimes a few hundred 😳) but as long as they both read over 10k I’m happy.

weekend wasn’t great, Saturday only had 6000 steps… much better than my few hundred I was stuck at 😂

Signing in as forgot yesterday
So 8680 yesterday and ahem.. hardly anything today as working from home.
In office tomorrow and always go for a walk at lunchtime and will do an extra loop

Evening, well done on the steps everyone
12,461 for me today

Good evening all, my steps for today are 11,157.
Lots of people getting lots of steps, this may be our most successful month.

Everyone is doing great 🤩
@TheMaidofOrleans wfh days are hard, sometimes on my quieter days I do a couple of laps round the garden or house to break up sitting at the desk every so often! Impossible on the busy days though!

My total for today is 17, 333 🎉
I think I have got to 17k just once before on these threads.
So happy with that. Wish I could do that everyday!!

Also, reading chat: I have finished Cilkas Journey 👍🏻
I need something a bit lighter now after reading this back to back with ToA!!

One less than you @DoubleBoubles, 12640 here today :)

@Joolly2 your dog hating walking 😂

I am not sure who mentioned their teen being low in vitamin d but mine also has had low vitamin d in test results recently.

13873 today, which balances out yesterdays 8000

6482 yesterday in the end. Client did NOT want a walk 🤣🤣

Evening all, managed 11,627 today. 🤞October is going well. There I've said it, now I've probably jinxed it 😄
@WorthySloth shame about your client not wanting to walk, I had the same problem with my dog the other day.
@10kstepsaday wow, 17k fantastic.
@Clearingaspace did you get your phone problems sorted?

@Joolly2 my phone is just super slow snd glitchy but I am too stingy to buy a new one!

11,146 today

Been looking at my health app notifications and I am very happy to have averaged 10000 steps a day for the past year 🎉 my average is also more than last year by over 1000. Especially glad as I had a month or two where my average was approx 4000 after dh had an op.

Monday: 13526 and Tuesday; 10606
I'm hosting a crafting evening tonight so have been very preoccupied with that and forgetting to update my totals.

Oooh yesterday I scraped through on 10070 steps, walking on the spot at 930pm to make it before bedtime while watching The Rookie. Might try a evening walk today instead!

A crafting evening sounds lovely 😊

10876 yesterday. Was having a day off work today but now I’m going in 🤦‍♀️ got Friday off instead tho but I’m doing a trip to London on Thursday so I’ll need it 🤣🤣

Yesterday was 12.8k! Currently on 5.8 and just eating some sushi and then about to drive for a few hours!! Lots of rain here too so not planning on any evening ☔ walks!!

October is going well 😁 well done all!
That's great @Clearingaspace!! I don't know if I can see a yearly average will have a look!

Craft evening sounds so fun @husbandcallsmepickle

13763 today. Did a very muddy walk with a client. Now I’m in bed 👍

Craft evening was quiet and there were a few no-shows so hoping next week's one is busier. I'm already in bed with a total of 16887 steps today.
What are you doing in London @WorthySloth?

Yesterday didn’t go to plan, only 6000 steps, today according to my phone I’ve managed 11,600, of those 10,018 from using the walking pad.

Evening all, 10,090 steps today. Really struggled to make it today. Dog did his best to sabotage my efforts. Went for a walk this evening, he did his business about 500 yard from home. We then had a slight disagreement over which way we were going. In my head I had a nice route planned, he also had a plan and it didn't match mine.🙁. He lay down, there was a short discussion and then we walked the 500 yards back home. 🤨.
@husbandcallsmepickle what sort of crafts do you do?
@WorthySloth gosh, the ground round here is still rock hard, you must be getting all my rain.
@10kstepsaday another one stealing my rain 😀, we've had the slightest amount of rain, so fine it hardly registers on the ground.
@Clearingaspace that's a fantastic yearly average. Well done.
Mobile phones can be such a pain, hope you can find a work around for your problems.

Only 5800 and I don’t even have a saboteur dog to contend with 😫 I did actually go for a proper rainy walk and everything

@LinearTransformations 10,000 on the pad is very impressive

well done on steps @husbandcallsmepickle and @WorthySloth

@Joolly2 love reading your doggy tales, your doggy sounds so funny!!

Some days are just like that @Clearingaspace 🫶🏻
Hope you're ok!!

Today I am finishing at 10.5k
I have a big meeting tomorrow which is giving me nerves and feel like I'm not going to sleep tonight!!
