8 miles yesterday which I think was too much for me
I have done 39,000 steps over 4 days so I'm on target for 70,000 steps this week, if I can keep it up!
Yes, I try to average over a week so that I can add more at the weekend if I've not been making my goals. Back in November I managed over 100,000 steps one week and I felt great. But the weather and the dark mornings and evening really bring me down. At least only another few days and the days will begin to get longer again.
How much walking are you aiming for? It's taken me months to work out not just how much I can cope with at present without wiping myself out, but the sheer mechanics of re-arranging life to get in the time for walking.
I'm aiming for 10,000 a day ... It's trying to balance everything and that I find difficult.
It's practically a full time job! ....
5 miles today walking. I'm retired and was mostly inactive over the last few years. We would go for walks occasionally but always used the car for shopping. Now I walk to the shops and as I have to carry shopping home I have to do a lot more trips to the shops. Yes I do find coping with diabetes a full time job and my hobbies have been put to the side this year, It's also all the food planning and cooking from scratch that I find so stressful.
... 9km walk v. early this am (another scorcher) & a hour or so kayaking after lunch.
