 Feeling quite proud, today. This morning's walk to Tesco and Back has popped my annual steps over the 77,000 mark. 77,877 is the number of steps I managed over the whole of 2013. And it's only April!!! I've also managed to out-walk 2015 through to 2023. The only one I've not beaten yet is 2014, and that was quite a hefty amount of walks, that year, almost twice as many steps as 2013. Yikes! As good as it feels to have managed that, so far, I'm certainly feeling tired out from it all. I also neglected my VR exercising through most of the house-move kerfuffle, so I'm actually not feeling 100% fit and healthy, if I'm honest. And the stumbles continue, and the dizziness is quite bad. Today's stroll to Tesco and Back was really quite bad, in terms of dizziness. The walk back was quite the effort, and once home I needed an antihistamine to get rid of the insane amount of spots that'd popped up over my arms. .. I'm still not sure if that's down to sweat or stress or what.. Either way it's frustrating coming home from a walk and having to medicate myself due to an insane rash that swells up all over me if I don't quell it fast enough!!! *shrugs* But, hey, good walking, Jay! Keep going!! |

One step is better than no step! Keep going! Great job! Regarding VR exercise, I played Thrill of the Fight last weekend, just a couple of rounds and it nearly killed me! The next day I could barely move my arms LOL!

I tried out C-Smash VR ("Not Cosmic Smash..!!") and it was OK, but required far too much left and right movement to hit the ball for me to cope with, which is a shame, because that's exactly the sort of gameplay that would help me.. If they added a narrow room option, that'd work great.

 Booooooom!!!! Smashed it. The walk to the polling station and back tipped me over the top. I've now walked more steps this year than any other year since 2013. (Individually, not combined!!)

     Had a lovely walk today. We weren't planning on going all the way to the Canal today, but it was lovely weather so we ended up there!! 3,648 steps there and back. There's a lovely little set of picnic tables up there, so we sat for a good 10 or 15 minutes before heading back. Beautiful. The swans + family all came swimming towards us, there was a riverboat heading down the locks, it was absolutely gorgeous. Aaaah....

  Today I hit 200,000 steps in a year! Yeehaw!!! That's a total of 225,229 since we moved to the Bungalow, which is over half of the total steps taken over the previous DECADE at the old house. Crikey, that's a lot of steps. The next goal will be 250,000, which I think I'm on track for, but who knows.. It's getting to winter now, and the rain this past week has been horrendous. This whole estate is full of hills, all over, lots of ups and downs no matter what short walk you try to take. Add a bit of ice to that, and it gets lethal. So.. Whether the weather will let me finish off that 50,000 steps is anyone's guess. Last year, from this point to the end of the year was only 23,861. If I can double that, I'm sorted! \o/

 We were on a regular (about 1,800 steps) route, today, when Mum suggested taking a detour to "see where that takes us" I've always got my phone at hand, so I plotted out a route that would take us around the back of the .. Sough!?  There's a sough here, apparently.. Round the back of that, onto the cycle path, and that'll take us round to where Tesco's is.  We managed to get about 3/4 of the way there, and got stopped by the Gas Works.. Fuxake.. The people who've been doing the Gas Works have apparently set up camp in the middle of the cycle path, and the whole bloody area is fenced off, with a myriad of trucks, diggers and more, all inside the bloody area. Fuxake.. And with no alternative routes.. .... *sigh* Back we came, through the muddy splodges we'd previously dodged. ugh. But I made it. I stumbled the fuck all over, and dodging splodges of mud-blobs was seemingly impossible, so Mum practically had to hold onto me for dear life at points, dragging me over the worst of it. Would be a better walk during the summer months. .. And when there's not a giant Gas-Works-Camp thing going on. Fuxake.. If we could've gotten all the way around, I'd estimate it would've been about 4000 steps, which is a fantastically long walk for me. .. As it was, though, with having to turn back and do 3/4 of the walk all over again, we ended up hitting 6,153 steps. This is the longest I've walked in over a decade, and when I hit 5,000, my watch gave a little "whoop whoop" vibration, which startled the fuck out me, as I didn't know it was going to do that!!! That was a lovely walk. Might attempt it again, but probably not until the sunnier half of 2025! Definitely should've done that sooner.
