Due to work related activities, and tracking with a Fitbit, I was able to log 26.6K steps last Saturday, running around doing weekend duty--basically providing activities at a boarding school for our students. While coordinating several bus trips and visiting slew of athletic contests at home, I had put in 10,000 steps over my daily goal before I even knew it.
Yesterday, got done with work around 4 and headed over to the disc golf course and played two rounds. On the first round, I lost one of my favorite driver discs (disc golf uses different discs to achieve what ball golfers accomplish with different clubs) on hole 14. So that sucks (discs are expensive enough that I am reticent to just go out and drop $20 to replace it) because I had to finish with a general purpose disc and will have to select a different driver from my stable.
On the second round, however, I used my Shark (a mid-range driver) exclusively, was crunched for time as I had to get back to campus, finished the entire course in 30:04, and turned in the best game of my life.
Perhaps the disc golf gods required a sacrifice of plastic in order to bestow upon me my life's best game of disc golf--8 under a par 3 course--8 birdies.
And in the end, I walked 20K yesterday, giving me two 20K+ days in my weekly total.
So, my question now is: should I up my daily target from 15K to 18K? I feel like I am losing weight and getting stronger, so I may have to continue to up my workout goals in order to continue losing and getting healthy.
While I don't really feel my clothes are any looser, I think it is only a matter of time before I can tighten the belt and feel a little less tight, as I'm down 12 lbs since starting in August.
