Thom Stépan Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 10496 steps yesterday, I will have to step things up a bit to push past my new daily minimum. Three serves of gluten carbs. Two I had to eat, miss seven and miss nine each baked a cake, Dad had to have a piece of each.

Thom Stépan Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Another good day yesterday. BBWW Squats 2 x 20 Lunges 2 x 20 Planks 2 x 30 That is my full three for week one. Great start here. Step count for yesterday was a respectable 12573, for a distance of 10.06km. Which brings my total distance to 50.71km or 31.51 miles. I am going to stay hidden here as there is a Nazghul half a mile down the road. I am not strong enough (or woman enough) to take on a Nazghul just yet.

Thom Stépan Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yesterday I got a walk in and was reasonably active. So I ended up with a decent 16908 steps. Which is 13.52km, enough to avoid the Nazghul for now. My total distance is now 64.23km, 31.91 miles walked in 6 days.

Thom Stépan Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Nah, they would be like 'slack git, 6 mile a day? You should be doing 20 miles a day.' When my uncle and I walked on the Bibbulmun track we would do 20km a day. About twice what I am currently doing, with 17kg on my back. That was a decent days walking. Thankyou for the compliment though. I am happy with my progress so far.

Skigh Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi Thom. I'm Skigh. Nice to meet ya. Read through your daily log over the last month. I just started nf with this challenge. I'm finding that reading daily logs is so much more useful to me than reading Facebook news feeds of people complaining about anything. Reading your log is very motivational. Keep it up. Looking forward to following along. 1 Quote SkighAsura Assassin / Level 2 / STR 2 / DEX 0 / STA 3 / CON 2 / WIS 2 / CHA 2Current Challenge | War Journal | Challenge #1 Link to comment
Thom Stépan Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 You're welcome Skigh. I am glad you have enjoyed my log. I do agree NF is much better than FB. People also know how to construct sentences here. It is refreshing to read about people making positive changes in their lives. Nerd Fitness is full of awesome folk making a better life for themselves and families by extension. I am inspired by the awesomeness if those I follow.

Teros Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hey Fellow Fanatic ! Do you have a challenge thread with goals, or do you update only on here? It's good that your hand is feeling better. I sprained my finger last week and it's been annoying the hell out of me. I just wanna work out with my sledgehammer. 1 Quote Link to comment
Thom Stépan Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hey Fellow Fanatic ! Do you have a challenge thread with goals, or do you update only on here?I do have a challenge thread that I update once per week, and just reply to any topics there. Here is where I do my daily updates. I can post my challenge log to the guild as well. * * * Yesterday was my quiet day. I didn't walk as when school returns my kids will be going to Ballroom Dance class, Tuesday evenings will end up hel busy. So I have allowed for that in my schedule. I did 9363 steps for 7.49km. That brings my total to 90.47km, or 56.21 miles. So I am now I am at the Marish [sic], a bit worried about the Black Rider we heard earlier. 1 Quote Where to find me: Current Challenge : Battle Log : Facebook : Instagram : "Each day, just focus on getting 1% better in whatever it is you're trying to improve.
