Today I had the day off and by lunchtime had only done 1,440 steps. I thought, oh it's going to be a day when I don't hit my target ๐Ÿ˜ž And then I thought, "Why? Why should the day be that way? Change the day! Make it the day you want!" So I did a Strong Steps with Kenta workout and did 10 minutes on the exercise bike (people in my street were throwing out an exercise bike that was in great working order, just the electronic bit was broken. So we took that bit off and brought it in and it works fine!). Then my oldest wanted to practise skateboarding so we went to the local park and he practised while I walked laps of the netball courts. I looked silly but I couldn't care less! I noticed different people on their different exercise journeys, from a superfit young guy practising his soccer moves to an obese man doing slow and difficult but determined walking laps of the oval. I ended up doing 12,025 steps and am pretty happy with myself and how I changed my outcome. Now I've got work tomorrow and need to get to bed but I'm all hyped up like a 5 year old ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
