I have set a goal to exercise at least three times a week, making at least 15k steps. this would mean having to reach at least 5K steps a day for three days. Admittedly I have been falling short in achieving that goal during the week. So I have committed to catching up and trying to meet that goal even if it means dedicating some time on the weekend to achieve that. I managed to achieve that goal with about 13415 steps covered through jogging and the remaining were a mix of both errands to shops and house chores. In total, I covered about 17415 steps.
I envy people who are consistent with their goals and have admired Whitneyxx for staying motivated and keeping her fitness in check. I’m also challenged not to fall for the excuse that I’m too busy to keep to my goal during the week as I have seen a lot of people who developed the habit of being persistent in making time to stick to their goal. We are all busy and can get busy but making time to accommodate fitness goals and a healthy lifestyle requires a certain discipline.
I ended up downloading an app to track my distance too so I can monitor my progress factoring in my pace, distance covered and tracking time it takes to run a certain distance. It took me more than an hour to complete 8 km and that is when I realised my fitness had deteriorated. I used to run 10 km in more or less 1 hour but now couldn’t even complete it in 90 min.
Fair enough I took stops along the way to take some pictures to compliment the post. And I’m happy with what I could achieve this weekend and I am motivated to see where the new goal takes me. I plan to take it one step at a time, with no pressure but to test my limit with this fitness journey. I plan to participate in fun races this side too as time goes on. Otherwise, tracking my 8 km road was fun and my heart danced to it every time I increased my pace.
I look forward to sharing progress and getting more inspiration in being persistent like those who show up and work towards their goal with no excuse of having a busy life.
Cheers for now!
