Day 2: Another Day, Another 10 000 (steps not $ unfortunately

I made it through another day! And I posted again as promised. Who said I couldn’t stick to anything?

Today was as hot as yesterday. Maybe not in temperature but it sure felt like it. I was sweating like a pig and excitedly anticipating the arrival of my ‘neck cooling scarves’ I ordered on Amazon.

Learning from yesterday, I made a plan to get all my steps in during my work time. I may have looked like an OCD squirrel on acid as I paced the yard, only stopping to say ‘get down from there’ and ‘get off him’ but atleast I didn’t have to walk around the stupid block tonight.

Being ‘short staffed’ at work helped with the step count also. We were down a few kids too thanks to illness but still the tasks had to be done and there were less people to do them. And I found myself doing little extra tasks as I went to get the steps, this didn’t stop me from feeling like a star employee anyway so win-win.

I’m hoping that I can get a bit more fit and then I won’t feel so worn out by a ‘normal’ amount of activity. I’m also realising it’s time for a new pair of shoes. This would excite some people but I have foot/gait issues and high expectations that I can find the magical support that will save me from the podiatrist office.

Until then I walk in in worn out shoes with my worn out feet knees and back. Weary but victorious. It’s a bit shit but I’m committed to see this through. Links on the page if you’d like to donate to LifeLine.
