This challenge is organised by Felicia over at the Geeky Blogger's Book Blog.
Well this week I bought a fitbit and started using it on the 1st. Interesting, certainly is an incentive to walk.
Saturday: 30 min walk
Sunday: 30 min walk
Monday: 30 min walk and 10 000 steps in the day
Tuesday 35 min walk and 7470 steps in the day
Wednesday 35 min walk and 8600 steps in the day
Thursday: rest day and 6480 steps in the day
Friday: rest day and 4380 steps in the day
I find I do a reasonable amount of walking during the day at work, except like on Tuesday when I was sitting in one place testing students on reading levels. Wednesday I was travelling in a car so that cut down on walking.
I have now found a new love for being on playground yard duty - I can get in up to a 1000 steps while circling! It's the part of my work I dislike - now it has gone up the ladder!
So what is now at the bottom of the ladder - well kids telling tales I guess! Today " So and so said the i word", from a couple of 6 yr old girls. Me: "Er what is the i word?" Them - glances at each other, unsure whether to tell me! - "You know, idiot!"
Me - "Thank you for sharing", (thinking - thank goodness, five more minutes and I can escape to the staffroom.)
While I walk I am still listening to River Road by J A Krentz, but am on the home straight with the book.
you did awesome! good job!
ReplyDeleteYou did great this week. Even on your rest day you did more steps than I did!!! That story is so funny, I had no clue what the "i word" was lol. You must hear a lot of funny and interesting things during your day. Keep up the great work and have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy. Yes if only I had written them all down over my years I would have heaps. We laugh in the staffroom quite a bit - nicely of course!
DeleteWelcome to the fitbit gang, made me so much more aware of my activity. I can now find ways to bump up my steps on days when I sit a lot more, like Mondays when I do my Monday What Are You Reading post and commenting lol. Your playground duty story gave me a giggle ... way to go on your 1st week!!
ReplyDeleteThans Sheree, yes its the days I sit around that I look to get something in. I find myself saying, well I'll leave the car here and walk - instead of driving short distances!
DeleteI do not particularly like yard duty either, but if it gets me steps too then good
ReplyDeleteYes, it puts a plus into it, counting the steps.
