Three days into the final week and my average steps is 12k - I have been going for a walk each lunchtime, deliberately picking routes that take a long-way to reach a destination and involve some elements of elevation as well.
Unless I do 16k a day for the next four days I will not hit 10k per day for January but that is less important as the key thing is instilling a habit of using my lunchtime for some form of physical activity, and not waste it working at my desk.
Now normally for a Thursday lunchtime I would have been meeting some friends for my a weekly coffee and catchup so the steps would have been lower tomorrow but its going to be coffee for one due to them having other one-off commitments, so the plan is go for another walk.
The last two days potentially have the biggest challenge as so far the two-day weekend totals have been barely more than a mid-week single day - I will need to get out and do some walking and/or running on both days to break that habit.
Recording my food intake is going well and whilst it is early days, this was a key factor when I trained last year for the Race To The Stones 100km run.
I have been reading a book I got from the Library on one of my walks this week called Fat Dad, Fat Kid (with Fit written in green over the two Fat words) - It is a very light but decent read, especially as I am about 160 pages done already with 20 or so to go.
The authors are from the Shaytards YouTube - I've heard of them but my daughter actively watches all their YouTube videos, and wants to read it after me.
The main premise of the book is their determination to jointly go 30 days without Sodas/Fizzy Pop, Ice Cream, sweet deserts etc, drink the recommended amount of water a day, eat healthy and get out and enjoy an active life.
At the weekend I will review it in more detail.
