Exercise: Zombie run. Walk to the cinema.

Zombie run stats

2.79km in 27:27

Average pace 9 minutes 50 seconds per km. That’s slightly faster than my previous runs.

Also, this thing is getting meta. “Maybe Runner 5 could even make the zombies fun, pretend this is all some kind of game.”

Time to walk to the cinema to go see Captain Marvel.

Update

I’ve skipped a few days because I was away with work. I did plenty of walking, even getting over 15000 steps one day, because I was walking to the office where we were meeting and then out to get food, and standing a lot in the meetings. Didn’t do so well on the food front.

On the first night, I arrived about 8pm and the only place nearby for food was a pizza place that sold basically nothing green. Not exactly a healthy eating meal. The second day, I had some bits of garnish on sandwiches for lunch but probably not enough to count as a single vegetable portion, some orange juice, and some peas with dinner. Probably count that as two portions. Yesterday, I got some peas carrots and some juice again, but nowhere near the five a day.

Trying to eat healthily while travelling is a nightmare.

Smoothie

Mixed veg (I’m counting this as two portions because it was large)

Fruit and veg eaten:

Red pepper

Broccoli

Cucumber

Seaweed

Lots of onion

Tiny bit of carrot but probably not enough to count as a portion despite the dish having carrot in the name.

Daily log - day 14

It’s been a tough week. Next week isn’t looking to be much easier. I’m travelling a bit with work which is always a challenge. On the plus side, my “ludicrous quantities of tape” fix on my pedometer is holding up surprisingly well.

Exercise - a bit of walking before and after work.

Pedometer count - 10773

Fruit and veg eaten:

Press fruit bar

Seaweed

The whole “eating healthily” thing is proving to be difficult.

Daily log - day 13

Exercise - not much but at least the “ridiculous quantities of tape” repair method held my pedometer strap together so I know how many steps I did in my usual walking.

Pedometer count: 10638

Fruit and veg eaten:

Avocado

Mixed salad (this might have been large enough to count as two portions)

Banana chips

I’ve done four days in a row of having to travel into London so I’m now feeling pretty exhausted. It’s tough on both diet and exercise targets.

I have attempted a temporary fix of my pedometer strap with tape, since the electronics are all still working fine. The tape doesn’t seem as sticky as I would have hoped, so I’m not confident about it lasting more than five minutes, but we’ll see. The strap is built into the device so it doesn’t look like there’s an easy way to replace it.

Yesterday, my pedometer fell off by the time I got to the bus stop to go into work. Today, I am attempting another fix. It’s the same as the first fix but now with even more tape.

Daily log - day 11

Today has not been a good day. I think I walked a decent amount but I can’t put a pedometer count because the strap broke on my pedometer. The only fruit I’ve had today is some juice.

I’m not going to let it get to me. Tomorrow is a clean slate.
