It's Friday again. Am I fitter than I was last week. Lets just say yes and be done with it.
A new thing is going to be "walked on the spot" but will be put down as "wots" because I am too lazy too write out all the letters.
Friday 30th Aug This morning I wots while watching Youtube, 11 minutes. Bikeride this afternoon, yay me! haha. Thought I'd go to the bridge and back which all up is a km but kept riding past to the first white post before turning around and then rode past our driveway up to the first white post...And then...110 steps.
Sat 31st Something, I think...wouldn't have been anything more than steps though, maybe some minutes of wots.
Sunday - 1st Sept - Nothing I "think" I can feel the onset of shinsplints? Something anyway.
Monday - Nothing. As above, sore shins. I have had shinsplints before and it's not nice so "resting"
Tuesday - 200 steps on and off over an hour. 3 min wots.
Wed - I did use the stepper but can't remember how many or how often...
Thurs - 11 min wots this morning. Some whippersnippering which sent me to bed for 2 hours!
Tomorrow is Friday. I don't feel fitter, stronger or healthier. But I am not moving enough, I am eating too much crap still and I am not eating enough vegetables. Maybe next week.

Week 23rd - 29th August
Well it's Friday again...Am I fitter than last week? Who knows, not me. I presume I must be because I am doing more than I was but I just don't feel fit, healthy and raring to go...And though I am sometimes getting on the stepper I am not doing anything else and I am eating way too much crap. As I do... Maybe I need to start recording the food I eat as well, we'll see how that goes.
I will keep writing down what steps I do on the stepper and any other stuff I do, like walking, bushwalks, bike ride,
Friday 23rd - 110, 110, 110 so 3 times up until 12:10. 100 steps at 5pm.
Saturday - No steps at all today but...did go out with daughter T so got some walking in. It wasn't a set walk though because the walk along a lake that I "knew" was there...wasn't. Who would have guessed that!! We ended up out at Myalup, did some walking, running, playing with the 3 year old there then drove to the caravan where we did the 500 metre walk down to the beach, ran/walked along the beach a tiny way then the walk up the hill to the caravan. I ended up pushing the 3 year old in the pram up the steepest bits while T carried the little light baby.
Sunday - 100. Walked for 25 min pushing the pram, not fast but I'm taking it.
Monday - Hmm, I really have to fill this in daily otherwise I forget. Hopefully I did do something.
Tuesday - Can't remember, some steps so I will claim 100!
Wednesday - 50 steps then later on another 110.
Thursday - Husband was still in bed at 6 so instead of stepper I walked on the spot for 7 minutes, then an hour later when I didn't much care if the squeaking stepper annoyed him I did 120 steps.
Not a lot this week, no bike rides but a short bushwalk and a walk pushing the pram...it all counts I suppose. The stepper isn't getting easier but maybe I am not using it often enough...

Crooked Brook Forest Walk August 2019
I was feeling too lazy to do steps today but daughter T rang and asked if I was interested in going for a drive...And maybe a walk...so yeah, why not. One of our stops was Crooked Brook Forest where we planned on going for a walk.
But which one? How fit were we feeling? How much time did we have? How far could the 3 year old walk? How far could the 30 year old walk while carrying a 6 week old baby? So many questions...We chose not to walk10km...
Lots of wildflowers in the surrounding bush, white ones and yellow ones...
So, the bridge or the fallen down tree? OK, tree bridge it is.
We had a decent walk, got up a bit of sweat, had fun, no yowies were seen, we had fun. We will be back and one day maybe we will do the 10 km walk. We'll see.

Friday 16th - 22nd August.
Friday 16th Was going to aim for 150 as a minimum this week but my legs hurt and I'm a sook so that didn't happen this morning. I did 100 and then 100 more 10 minutes later and will try for another 100 later on this morning. I will also take the Magnesium.
Saturday - I did a basic 100 after my morning coffee but nothing else that day. Should have, didn't...
Sunday - 9 oclock already and nothing so far. Husband is home, it's cold, I can't be fagged...daughter rang and we went on an adventure, short bush walk at Crooked Brook Forest. Good fun. But no steps.
Monday - No steps again, until 9pm when I finally did 100.
Tuesday - Feeling pretty good today but the stepper was stiff, managed 110 then 100 10 minutes later. It's nearly 5pm, tried again but only got to 50 before I gave up.
Wednesday - 110 after coffee but wow, legs hurt! I thought it would get easier but it hasn't, maybe I need to do it more often...
Thursday - 110 this morning but felt blah all day and nothing else.
AM / PM
Friday - 100, 100 / 100
Saturday - 100
Sunday - Bushwalk, no stepping.
Monday - / 100
Tuesday - 100,100 / 50
Wednesday - 100, 100
Thursday - 100
I thought I'd be feeling better and fitter by now but it's all too much effort and very little fun. Daughter has suggested that we do more regular bushwalks and I think that would be good so we will get a list of some walks not too far from home and see what we can do.

Friday 9th - Thursday 15th August 2019
Where does the time go? I know I slacked off, no surprises there, but maybe a bikeride or 2 since last post. Maybe...
What I have done though is join a Messenger group with a couple of other people and that is kinda motivating. And 2 weeks ago I brought the stepper inside. Again. Parked it in front of the TV. Again. Difference is that this time I am actually using it. I am definitely better than any other time that I have had it inside anyway so here's hoping I keep it up.
Day 1 - 30 steps.
So the first day I struggled to get to 30 in the morning after coffee. Next day was the same but over the week gradually increased the amount until I thought to start recording the amounts so I knew for sure if I was improving...
AM / PM
Friday 9th - 100
Saturday - 100 /20 /80
Sunday - 100 /20
Monday - 150 /50 / 50
Tuesday - 100 /50 / 60
Wednesday - 200 /100 /100
Thursday - 110/100 /100 / 100
So from 30 in 1 go in the mornings I have increased to a minimum of 100 in 1 go in the mornings with an extra session or 2 in the afternoon / evening. Sometimes it seems quite doable but other times it's a struggle to get to 100, I hurt and puff too much...There are also the odd times I get on it during the day and do maybe 20 or 30, I will remember to write these down eventually. Maybe...
I am taking Magnesium most days as well as I know that helps muscles recover.
Definitely going to be fitter by Friday this week.
