Trains, Buses and Exercise!

             Yesterday, I got to go to out on a bus trip for the day and what a trip it was from my hometown here into Pickering via GO Train. From there I took the 223 Bayley bus into Ajax. From there I took the 216 Harwood which turned into the 224 Bus once we got back from the Taunton area. When we got to back to Ajax Go we headed back home. It wasn't much of a day but it was an outing and of course we forgot to grab some food even when we got back. But we had a donut that kind of kept us happy till dinner time. Now the 216 Harwood was my idea and actually we went by where my Aunt and Uncle lived and boy it sure did bring back memories as a kid going there for visits, Christmas/Mother's Day celebrations so it really did bring back a ton of memories in my childhood and even as an adult as well. Also we passed the street where the elementary school I graduated from Grade 8. So it sure brought back a ton of memories and Eric could see the excitement of me remembering the school and some friends I am still connected with as well. So I guess in a way it was a trip down memory lane for me. 


             Anyways that is my trip I took yesterday and one of the reasons why I was very quiet on social media and noticed this morning the Facebook Fan page gained a fan apparently but thank you. It is hard to be on social media and travelling and wish I took pictures but we just did not have anytime and it wasn't the right time but I promise to take a selfie on my next adventure around Durham. Anyways I had a good time and I am glad Eric got me out of here for the day, I really needed it with the stress and high pressure of being a blogger and he gave me the idea for this post and I know it's not a big post like yesterday but hey you guys are getting a post one way or another so it is great. I can honestly say that I had a good time and I admit to feeling depressed and when we got on the go I truly did feel a ton better as I just pretty much put my troubles at the door and enjoyed the day. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and yes I sort of made that reference to Trains, Planes and Automobiles but in this case Trains, Buses and Exercise! I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow which will be an update on the studio reno progress.

Keeping Up To 6000 Steps!

           Everyday I seem to be keeping up with the steps each and everyday which is a good thing and I have been maintaining at 219 but that's not good enough as I want to lose the weight more but more the steps the better. Yesterday I didn't make my 6000 as I was home majority of the day but got up to 4000 yesterday and still feels good to still get that number honestly. slowly but surely getting there with them. However I am very much happy with the amount of steps I have been getting each and every day which is 42000 steps a week practically. But I think I almost have that amount  everyday this week minus Thursday which I was home all day long but I try to the best of my ability to actually get the entire 6000 steps in when I can. However I am managing to get moving and a groovin so it is good. The more I keep up with the steps, it will even help me lose the weight I need. Honestly at this point I am currently maintaining at 219.6 pounds which I am happy with but honestly I would like to go a bit further down in weight but I have to remember to remain patient with this as it does time time but I just gotta keep on moving around.


              Now for me to get 10000 usually I am out in Toronto or up north for example when I manage to get the steps beyond 10000 or right on the dot. I think the highest I have ever had was around 14 to 15 thousand in steps which is amazing but it could be more then that honestly but I am not sure honestly. However having this fitbit has helped me remain active and maintaining the weight that I have been at but like I have mentioned I need to start losing it more then maintaining where I am at right now with my weight but I have to be patient and show a little patience and it will happen eventually just gotta take some baby steps that is all and I am going to but weight does not go down rapidly fast, it just takes time and the more steps the better in my journey. I hope in the next couple of weeks to finally do an update on my weight loss journey but right now I have been stuck at the same weight for a long time and it is hard to get it moved any further down but everyday I am sure as heck trying to get it down. I will not quit till I get and reach my weight goal which is 170 - 175 pounds.

Broke A Bunch of Records With My Fit Bit Last Week!

             A Week ago today when I was in Toronto as you know by now as I have spoken in the last couple of days things that has gone on in the last week now. I broke a ton of records. I finally hit my 9 times of 250 steps which I rarely get all of em on a daily basis. I also broken over 12000 steps which is from time to time I can get to that number but last week I walked and I walked! Which I normally don't do. Average is normally between 4000 and 6000, sometimes more depending on my day if I am in the studio or out and about or gone to an appointment that is when the steps are really active but I try each and everyday to actually get steps in each and every day regardless if I am out or not. I even got my 250 steps per hour which is 9 times in a day so technically 9 hours of the day and I have reached that strive many times in the last while. I also burned a ton of calories but still made no different I ended up gaining a pound or two so that didn't really help at all. However it was a good feeling to be very active, especially adventuring in Toronto with my dad as we were all over the place throughout the day and honestly it was different from any other trip that was have been on in Toronto. Being in T.O gives me great opportunity to exercise and be out and about which is really good.


               Regardless a week ago, I am proud of myself with the achievements and when I say achievements, I mean I unlocked a bunch of achievements and I noticed my phone going off when back on WIFI I was getting emails, I believe about 2 or 3 emails to be exact that I actually got so I got a few of them to notify me of my achievements and trust me it feels good, it is a good feeling to have, knowing I have accomplished a lot in one day on my last day off before going back to Chris B On The Web. Do I think I will ever beat 18k in steps down the road? I really doubt it as it is a tough number now to beat to this day as it is a very big number but anything is possible and I would once again have to do a good long non stop walking in order to break 18,000 steps at this point. I really do not think I will break that anytime soon like I said the number is way to big for me to surpass. No I am not being negative just feel like it will be a tough goal to do right now but I do have some trips to T.O coming up with Dave in March and in April so I am sure I will be breaking 10k easily again!
