Grocery store laps are underrated, the cold aisle adds a nice breeze. I count the walk to the mailbox as a win on shot weeks.
Low energy today, how are you still moving?
Mine drifts too, usually lands two days after my shot instead of one. I just take the dog out for a short sniff-heavy walk on those days and skip counting anything
Detroit weather has me doing laps in the basement too. Stairs are free and the dog thinks it's a game
My low day is always the second morning after, so i just plan a short indoor walk for it now. Grocery laps is a smart swap, might steal that for the icy days
tbh steps are a no go in this Vegas heat, so I've been doing laps inside the casino corridor by my place. The a/c is free and nobody looks at you funny for circling
I've been doing laps around the kitchen while my coffee brews, which sounds ridiculous but it beats sitting. How many steps did you get in before the slump hit?
Only 2 lbs in for me too, so I'm not chasing big step numbers yet. What time do you usually get that morning walk in?
Shot day is my couch magnet too, but I keep a pair of shoes by the door so there is no excuse to hunt for them. That tiny hurdle is usually enough to get me out.
Down 39 here and the shot-day fatigue still hits me some weeks. Curious whether yours lands the day after the shot or right on it, because mine flipped around month three.
I hit my steps by parking farther from the store and walking the lot, sounds dumb but it adds up when the slump hits
What time do you usually head out? I've noticed my own slump hits hardest right after the shot, so I've been pushing my walk later in the day lately.
Shot day hits me the same way. I've been doing a slow lap around the block before I let myself sit down, and it usually shakes off after ten minutes or so.
Flat part of the trail is smart. I keep my walk to the block behind my place on low days, and once I'm out there the "just the block" thing rarely holds
Flat route on shot day is my move too. I keep it to the same two blocks so I don't have to think about it, and somehow I still end up out there longer than planned.
My shot days are tuesdays too and i've basically made peace with a short flat walk instead of the hill loop. The coffee-first loop is honestly the only version of me that leaves the house before 9
What time of day do you usually get the steps in? My low days are always the ones where I wait until evening and then it never happens.
Does the saved flat route actually help you get out the door, or do you still stall on those mornings? I keep telling myself I'll do a short one and then spend twenty minutes finding my shoes.
My flat mornings hit the day after my shot too, so I just do a slow loop around the block here in Atlanta and call it done. What time of day do you usually get your steps in?
I'm about 78 down and the shot-day drag is real, so i just take the stairs at work instead of the elevator and count that as my movement for the day
My shuffle days usually start with me just standing on the porch for a minute before I actually move.
