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

Continues steppin here ⬇️

Total today 12,394 including a brisk walk outside in the sunshine
Hopefully that means I will sleep well tonight 😴

Evening all, clocked up 12,895 steps today.
@husbandcallsmepickle how did your craft evening go?
@10kstepsaday I saw the bird lady on Clarksons Farm too. Wasn't she fantastic. So much enthusiasm for her subject.
@Droopydroopingdropped I have the same problem. I need to eat all the time. I can always eat sweets and chocolate even straight after a big meal. This year I've been trying to eat vegetables and generally make healthier choices. Very mixed results. I've tried various veg and found a few I can tolerate in small doses. However I haven't made much reduction on sweets and chocolate.
@WorthySloth get you! Poet Laureate how cultured. You really do pack your life with interesting things. I really should broaden my horizons instead of binge watching rubbish on the tv. Did you try for Glastonbury tickets?
Pleased you are feeling better.

Ended yesterday on 5767 steps. Was a lovely day and really enjoyed my evening. I’m not a huge fan of poetry but he was so lovely and engaging and funny. I bought an anthology and will have a read of it.

@Joolly2i have no desire to go to Glastonbury 🤣🤣 I don’t do tents. I’ll do a festival if I can stay in a Travelodge and have access to a decent toilet 🤣🤣 which is why my August one is perfect. It’s undercover in the outside area of a pub that sells lovely Guinness. Plus you can mingle with the bands and chat to them while buying merch from them. Or even just chat while they are hanging around watching the other bands.

Cleaning whilst listening to a play sounds good @Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain I don't think I have ever listened to a play!

@Joolly2 she was amazing, I want to be friends with her in real life 😅 wish I had her passion!!

Well done everyone on the steps!+

In the past i have found things like fasting and low carb really help my aches but unfortunately I seem to be incapable of discipline now 😂 I think perimenopause is making me more hungry.

sounds a lovely day @Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain And @WorthySloth

@Joolly2 i am with you on trying to eat more veg, I just find everything about them so boring! I did manage to shove some spinach in my bagel with eggs this morning. I saw someone with a sausage dog yesterday and thought of you (they are a bit like beagles aren’t they?!?)

@Onegramatatime traitors tonight!! oh and I downloaded the active 10 app and v happy as the majority of my steps are brisk pace. It doesn’t feel like that to me, but I will take it!

I got my blood test results back and not prediabetic, in fact, really good hba1c result so maybe aches were from over exercising
Legs are better today so will go for another walk in the fresh air before the rain starts

Hope everyone is feeling better compared to when I last checked in a few days ago!

I ended yesterday on just over 10000 steps after a rocky start to the week with very few steps on Monday and Tuesday 🥴

Today isn’t going to be particularly high with steps. Blummin work. Anyway I’m starting to come out the other side with my cold so I’m out on the beer tomorrow and Saturday. And Sunday actually 🤣🤣

That's great about your blood sugar @Droopydroopingdropped

Well done @Wishfulshrinker25

Glad you are feeling a bit better @WorthySloth

My steps for today are 11.3k. I signed up to Les Mills on Demand and did a 15 minute combat workout to try it out.
Added to the steps and was fun! My kids were joining in and learning their jabs and uppercuts 😂

The craft evening was good fun @Joolly2and my husband came for the first time and really enjoyed it.
Yesterday's steps were 12103 and today's are 13341.
Well done for your totals everyone. I break up for half term tomorrow so my steps are probably going to decrease.

Some photos from last night to give you an idea

Ended today on 5996. Let’s see what tomorrow brings 👍 in bed now tho because I am in for 7am tomorrow

Those crafts look so cool and fun @husbandcallsmepickle I might try do them with my kids for Halloween 🤩

Evening all. Today's total is 12,388.
@husbandcallsmepickle so pleased you had a better experience with your craft session. The results look fun.
@Droopydroopingdropped good news about your blood test. You could be right about over exercising, time will tell.
@WorthySloth you must be feeling better 😄. Another packed weekend coming up. Enjoy.
@Clearingaspace a sausage dog is like a beagle! Mmmmm, wellll, no 😄. That gave me a good chuckle.
Do you have to turn the Active 10 app on every day or is it on all the time? I've downloaded it and done a quick 10 minutes.
@Wishfulshrinker25 well done on today's total.

Today's steps 9617 I was so close

Sounds like you have all had a good day.

Yesterday's total was 18,008
I go to bed v early but sometimes get up to go to loo before midnight which adds a few steps 😂

Well done everyone lots of great numbers!
Hope you've all had a lovely Friday 🥳

I'm at 10.2k ✅
I don't know what the Active 10 app is - off to have a look!

@Joolly2 ithe active 10 app seems to run in the background. I hit my goal for the week with over 300 minutes brisk walking

well done @10kstepsaday and @Droopydroopingdropped

@Clearingaspace I will have to get used to carrying my phone around with me then. That will be a challenge. Took the 1 minute test and did 119 steps.
@Droopydroopingdropped fantastic effort, well done.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.

I didn't go for an outdoor walk but I try to get some steps in when watching TV
I do the 'advert Olympics' and generally prance about annoying my husband

I will be going for a walk in the sunshine today hurrah- and getting several loads of washing done too
Happy Saturday all!

I've woken up to @WorthySlothcheesy chips and @Droopydroopingdroppedadvert olympics. Think I'm going to magpie both those ideas!!
