This October I Will...(Walk!)

Still at 11 out of my goal of 5 15 mile walks, which is okay because I have plenty of days left. What is not okay is that I did not walk or exercise at all the last two days. Ugh. In a slump, but I am vowing right now that I will walk 5 miles in the morning!5

Walking is just what I do. Every day! Indoors or outdoors. I take every opportunity to do NEAT exercise.
(75/100)You’re preaching to the converted. 😂 Walking is one of my solid habits. I walk indoors and out (depending on weather). I use walking videos, and get additional strength exercises in many of them. And I walk during ad breaks when watching TV. It all adds up!
I have daily steps, and active hours goals set on my Fitbit, with alarms set 15 minutes before the hour every 2 hours so that I can have at least a 10 minute walk.

October I will Walk...5 miles on 15 Days
**The habit I am working on is daily walking, the 5/15 is just an embedded challenge for myself
10-1 Done 1/15
10-2 Done 2/15
10-3 Done 3/15
10-4 Done 4/15
10-5 Done 5/15

Disappointed I didn't walk at least some. I was not motivated to walk 5 miles and actually forgot that the real goal is to just walk every day!
10-7 Done 6/15
10-8 2 miles
10-9 Done 7/15
10-10 Done 8/15
10-11 Done 9/15

10-13 Wet and gloomy day and couldn’t get motivated to go outside. Opted for the elliptical and some HIIT.
10-14 Done 11/15
10-15 Walked
10-16 Walked
10-17 Walked
10-18 Walked

**The habit I am working on is daily walking, the 5/15 is just an embedded challenge for myself
10/22: Another 5 miles down, 13/15 days complete.
I am having a terrible month, when I started so optimistic. At least this is one goal I am sticking with.5 -
@bradkcrew I hear you loud and clear!! It’s not for a lack of exercise on my part but keeping my hand out of the Halloween candy jar on the kitchen island. Chocolate is my downfall no matter how hard I try if it was full of candy corn I would leave it alone! Trying to right this slippery slope. Glad you are back on track track with walking it’s important to stay focused.4

@snowshoe072 Halloween candy is tough! I try to buy it just before the day to put off temptation. We hardly get any trick or treaters, so I would like to eliminate it altogether, but I don’t want the reputation of the cranky old woman who hates kids. Lol!
@texasgardnr , yes my sister and I did make our dresses for the ball. She more of a seamstress than I. She quilts and the whole nine yards.
Plugging away at my FALL IN LOVE WITH FITNESS challenge. The weather has cooled HOORAY! Unfortunately, this week I struggled with a headache.

Hi @donna25trinity
Sometimes I modify my habits during the month if I was too ambitious (or not ambitious enough.)
Make your habit list workable for you!

I think we all have a tendency to overburden ourselves with goals and set ourselves up for failure.
I have found that concentrating on improving just one of my habits for a month works much better for me. This has meant that I have been able to build on my successes by adding them to my Solid Habits.4 -
10/24: I finished with a week to spare. 15 5 mile walks complete.

Hi all 🙋♀️, I just read everyone's posts since my last check in post, mid month... very interesting as well as encouraging and insightful reading. Well done every one!!
Here are my 3rd and 4th week activities to complete my walking log for the month of October:
third week:
October 16: Sunday rest day
October 17: 50 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
October 18: 50 minutes: yard work
October 19: 50 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
October 20: 75 minutes: walking indoors, errands
October 21: 40 minutes: yard work
October 22: 45 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
fourth week:
October 23: Sunday rest day
October 24: 45 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
October 25: 85 minutes: walking indoors, errands & grocery store
October 26: 40 minutes: walking indoors, extra cleaning
October 27: 50 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
October 28: 45 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
October 29: 50 minutes: walking indoors, gazelle
October 30: Sunday rest day
October 31: 60 minutes: yard work
for Walktober: I walked 23 out of the 26 exercise days. (The other three I did yard work or extra cleaning. ) Sundays are Rest Days from exercise._-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
This month I was encouraged to return back to striving to be optimistic and positive, especially in doing the best I can again in regard to walking/ physical activity. Even though I cannot walk however long I desire to like I used to, or to add up all those Walk at Home DVD miles that I so loved to do, I'm with you all in doing something: the best that I can, every day that I can. Thank you for your encouragement🌷💖 to begin to get out of the slump, and to not slack off.
I also drew flowers with colored ink on my workout calendar every day that I did something intentional toward dealing with my long time friend "paper tiger 🐯".
🌺🌹🌻's were drawn on 31 out of 31 days!!
I'm planning on continuing this again next month also, in this same way! October became a fun and colorful month to make my walking/ exercise notations on.
See you all in November

I find completing the Calendar table with colourful symbols for my goals a great motivator🐬🐳🐬🐙🐬🐳🐬

Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
• Walking goal was surpassed
• Much more aware of mindless scrolling and have definitely reduced the instances. It’s so easy to get sidetracked when you go Online.
• Solid Habits have made maintenance so much easier. Tracking food in advance reduces the temptation to eat off plan. I also belong to a couple of accountability challenges to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
