October 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

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

Continues steppin here ⬇️

13,755 yesterday
Spent a fair bit of time sitting around so quite pleased I managed as many steps as I did
Going for a meal tonight so will cram in steps in the morning and afternoon

Welcome along @ElizaToolittle

@husbandcallsmepickle ah half term for you! Ours is next week! Bracing myself 🤣 can't believe first school break all ready, the year is racing by!

Managed 10063 yesterday 😊 got up this morning and did a short run on the treadmill. Going to try to do a walk or run every morning. Work can be so unpredictable with steps so if I can get a quick morning boost in it’s good. Also makes me feel more awake.

11k today. Started the day with another body combat!
Well done doing a run @WorthySloth that's awesome!!

10,536 today
Didn't cram in as many as I had hoped but at least hit 10K
Another busy day tomorrow. Must get some steps in early
Night x

Well done @Droopydroopingdropped and @Joolly2

@Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain glad you have been looking after yourself with some self care. I remember binge watching the Tudors a couple of years ago!

welcome @ElizaToolittle

@10kstepsaday and @WorthySloth well done on workouts! You inspired me to do a YouTube strength workout. It was a no lunge exercise one which i would likely do again as I hate lunges and also all standing which is handy as I needn’t bother with a mat. I couldn’t find the little weights so had to get on and use the 6kgs but was fine and just used one for a couple of moves.

13,306 today, but a bit miffed as Apple Watch says i have blow average vo2 max.

Well done everyone for your totals. I managed 8199 today which is surprising as I went to a friend's for lunch and spent most of the day sitting around!

12272 after my run and then walked to Westward Ho! for lunch with the in-laws. Caught the bus back tho.

off to bed now because I have work tomorrow. Planning on doing a treadmill walk in the morning before I go out.

Oh and well done everyone with steps and workouts! Also binge watching tv. Has to be done sometimes 😁

Well done everyone on the steps and exercises. Saying goodnight with a total of 1789 steps completely today which is surprising because I've hardly sat down all day. Aim for tomorrow is to try and squeeze a walk in somewhere.

@Clearingaspace think this is the third or fourth time I've watched the Tudors it's so well done even if it's not hundred percent accurate.

Good evening everyone, I'm yawning again, I really should aim for an earlier bedtime 🥱. Total steps today10,593 I also played badminton this evening, but my watch still refuses to acknowledge this.
@10kstepsaday as soon as I read body combat I had visions of you dressed in camouflage, wearing a beret, and brandishing a bayonet 😀.
@Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain fantastic total.
Lots of people getting nearly 10k or over. Great effort.

Oh blimey, I am completely out of the loop. I have a brick to stop my doomscrolling habits but it locks after a very minimal time and I keep missing the chance to update 🤦‍♀️

I have had a mixed few days. At the moment for today I have done 644 steps so really need to get going when I've finished my day WFH.

Evening all. Going to try for an earlier bedtime today, see how that goes. Steps today 10,319.
@Wishfulshrinker25 I really feel for people who work from home. So difficult to get steps. Could you go for a brisk walk at lunch time, just 15 minutes would make a big difference.

18,205 today
Pleased with that and, I must say, I find this group so encouraging and helpful
No way would I be getting these steps in without you lot so thanks all
Night night x

Lazy day watching Netflix but popped to the supermarket and I've reached 11793 today
(That doesn't sound grammatically correct but I'm too tired to edit)

Ended yesterday on 7053. Got my non mobile client today although I have blagged second cover for later to get him out for a walk. I’m sleeping in as well so not expecting many steps today.

Yesterday's steps 2k
Couldn't get out a walk due to the heavy rain, keep forgetting about YouTube. Hopefully today will see more steps than yesterday.

Catching up on the thread!!
Yesterday was 7.9k, v busy day at work so lots of sitting at desk and no outdoor walks. Today I'm on 3.3k.so far so I need to a scoot on if I want to hit 10k.

Well done on your strength workout @Clearingaspace
@Joolly2 your post made me laugh about doing body combat with camo on 🤣

@Wishfulshrinker25 how do u find the brick? I see it advertised everywhere and think it's a great idea! I always end up deleting doom scroll apps off my phone so I can resist.

Well done everyone on all your steps 🤩

Hello lovely steppers - well done on all steps.

😂😂 at Joolys body combat image!

yesterday I got 11648 steps in.

re doom scrolling, I listened to a short YouTube video about that this morning funnily enough while preparing breakfast https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vKEKpSlWuyk&pp=0gcJCbgCo7VqN5tD&ra=m - I am going to try leaving my phone outside the bedroom tonight on the landing as aim 1. I have recently hidden some social media on my phone which really cuts down on how much time I spend on there as it seemed to be constantly open and tempting me before! Really helps that the app closes automatically now.

@Onegramatatime hope all is well with you 👋

10414 today and a 20 min strength workout. Happy to have done a couple of workouts this week!

11043 for me

Steps today were 2.5k and I also squeezed in half an hour hit with Joe Wicks.

Evening all, total for today is 10,111
@Clearingaspace everyday I promise myself I'll do some strength training, but I keep making excuses. 😬.
@husbandcallsmepickle good total.
@Somewhereovertherainbowwewillmeetagain I've tried a Joe Wicks workout and just couldn't keep up. Too intense for me, so well done.

Hi, all.
It's been a while.
I have been keeping up with steps but keep falling asleep before I even get to the bed.

12,445 steps yesterday.

@Clearingaspace , hi 👋😁. I am good, a bit overwhelmed but good. I am a few episodes behind on traitors - kids are away and they want us to watch it together, so i am on pause till they are back. I get these notifications from BBC and little exclamations from family, friends or people at work that watch it so i know some fun things are happening. It's hard resisting peeping in to check it out. How are you finding strength training?

@Joolly2 , your watch refusing to recognise your badminton efforts made me smile. I suspect our watches may be related.. twins, or just siblings or share the same grandparents?!

Welldone everyone on your steps.

4871 yesterday. Currently still in bed at work listening to the storm 😭😭 I need to get dressed walk home via the shops put the dinner in shower and change then walk back to work for a six hour shift. Joy.
