I Conquered the Desert Heat (01.07.20)

I did it! 🎉✨

First I want to give myself a gentle tap on the back for reaching 10000 steps today. I think this is the first time in 4 months that I reach 10000 steps. 🤷‍♀️ I have really gotten very inactive the past months, I am feeling guilty about it.

It was a very busy day and thankfully my Actifit app did not act up and I was able to capture almost all of my steps today. I was constantly having a hard time getting my activities captured by the app, while my phone's pedometer says another which was why I bought a fitbit. The Fitbit died just a few days after its warranty expired, so... Mehh! I decided I won't get another fitbit, and if I would like to get my Actifit Reports out, it means I need to make do with my phone. Well, hello @wil.metcalfe! Here's my first actifit report since forever. Lol. #highfive!

Today, July 1st, paid parking has started again in my city. To save Dhs 15 ($4) daily parking fee, or not to take a chance to be fined Dhs 200 ($54), I started parking near the Umm Al Emarat Park like what I was doing here before the lockdown started. I can park my car at the free parking area near the park, but it is extremely hard as the summer has already started. I have to make the sacrifice so that I can save money for the parking.

If not for the extreme heat, I really love walking because it let's me get some time for myself.

I took advantage of the chance to go for a brisk walk after I parked my car for the night. I made two rounds around park that is easily 5 kilometres for 1 hour. Well, this is far from what I can do before, where I can easily jog straight non-stop for 4-5kms, but still, a great start for me after a long time of being sedentary.

Hopefully I will be able to keep up with this routine I think I have already gained five kilos over the past 4 months that I have been staying at home I also started with my intermittent fasting I am fasting for 18 hours and have a 6 hour eating window.
By keeping active and staying on the intermittent fasting I hope to be able to lose the weight the excess weight that I have gained over the past months.

This is my first time to use Google voice to compose my post and I am extremely exhausted I want to sleep now I will just edit and add pictures to this post and publish it tomorrow. In fairness, Google voice is understanding most of what I am saying and is able to type most of them correctly I may have to use this more frequently now. 😂

Now, the challenge is to get this post published on the #hive blockchain. I had issues with it on my last reports.

Here we go...
