Walking in Lockdown

I started walking because I needed to something with all this extra time that I had and did not want to use it playing video games, sleeping and movies and it started as something to do during the coronavirus but now its grew to something more. Its a way to clear my head as well as get exercise. I started in April and I'm hoping to keep it up after, if there is an after and at the same time to try to start running. The thing is when I was working I was moving a lot, up and down, on and off a forklift. and just putting in steps throughout the day was easy but now that I work from home its harder now. I just walk around the neighborhood cause I'm not trying to go the track cause too many people be at that bitch and I aint trying to catch the virus. Walking the hood works. I can still remember the first time I took at stroll around the neighborhood. I got back home and almost died. I try to get at 10,000 steps a day and so far that's been what I get but some days I get lazy and dont want to move so I say fuck it. Then I see my steps drop and im like damn. Now I have to work extra hard to make up the steps that I lost. What I really need to do is quit smoking. Thats the damn killer. My best day so far has been Monday May 18th. I was fighting to get them last few steps in but I did it.

After that I was really proud of my self but I wanted to continue to try and see how long I could keep getting 20,000. That didnt last for long. Tuesday I hit only 10,000 and it was good but I let myself down. Wednesday I got close but not all the way.

Thursday May 21, 2020 got over 10 but still not trying to run any time soon.

Friday I let myself down yet again only getting about 7 in. Going into the weekend its always hard to stay on track.

The weekend was bad. I only walked about 12 thousand steps the whole weekend. All I wanna do is play video games and play DND. Its hard out here. So onward to Monday. Monday I got back on the horse and started to do a little better. I almost 19 thousand.

Tuesday, May 26th 2020

My new record day was Monday June 1st. I finally got over that 20 thousand and it felt good. The past couple days have been hard. My best friend mother died hes taking it pretty rough. I felt a little bit of it too so I walk to get my mind off her passing.

Still moving on up to hit that goal of 100,000 and it coming along great. No slow days and every day trying to hit that 10,000 or more to make the dream come alive. Its been getting harder because now the days are getting hotter and man walking in 90 degree heat is no joke.

I'm going to have to make the change of walking in the morning time cause DND is interfering with my late night walking. Waking up earlier is easy but the problem I have is going to bed at a reasonable time. I don't get much sleep cause I go to bed so late.

Wednesday was a good day I broke 100,000 and thought it was going to stay that way but for some reason fitbit takes away steps at midnight. That's not fair. You walk 15,000 steps and lose 12,000 at the end of the day. What kinda bull shit is that. One bother thing that lows my mind is this picture of a cat I think but it may be a dog but its been on the side of the road for about three weeks. When I first saw it was in a brown trash bag I think. The next day I guess the heat got to it and there was that inside.

Thursday was rough. I didn't get any sleep and my right leg and left heel hurts like hell. I said no to that walk and may take a break on friday. I mean you can walk everyday and not fill any different but I think the heat, smoking, not eating right and drinking is starting to get to me.
