    Overall, with all the walking backwards and forwards, and again, and again … etc between the office and production and a good walk at lunchtime, I have got 13.4K steps in today! 👏😊🤩 The even better news is, compared to a year ago, I feel tired but not absolutely drained. I think I am slowly regaining a bit of fitness. 😊 Managed to restrain the junk this evening too 😊

    If you don’t mind, I will keep posting in here for accountability.

    Great step count KK. I have done lots of up and downstairs shifting stuff to the skip, and cleaning steps but only 6k steps overall. I have eaten all of the junk and I had a glass of red, whoops.  Back on tea now because it wasn't that nice.

    All that stuff shifting will be working / building muscle though, and that burns calories when at rest 😉😊

    Have to admit my arms are quite sore from cobweb removal on the beams.  And then you look with the lights on and realise that you have missed gazillions of them.

    That sounds like weeding my veggie patch too! 🙄😂

    11.2K steps today. Not great on the eating, but not dreadful. I won’t get many steps in tomorrow as I’m at a different site in the middle of a huge industrial estate and there isn’t really anywhere to go. Tbh, a bit of rest would be a good thing as my right shin muscle is pretty sore.

    3.5 off this week for me - the same 3.5 I put on in the previous fortnight admittedly but still a good result.
    Well done!  At least it's not hanging around.

    Well done on all the walking!  I've started again, and reading through my diary from last year, I was complaining of a lot of pain in my knee then.  It's not completely pain free, but I'm definitely fitter than I was last year.

    Well done on restraining on the junk.

    I've been back to walking on the school run this week, and it feels good to be doing it again.  I must not get sucked into work 'busyness' and try and keep it up.  I didn't walk today because it was icy underfoot and I don't like walking when it's slippery, but hopefully tomorrow will be better.  My knee pain I think stems from falling on it during Covid so I don't want to risk it again!
