Saturday, July 1: I started the month with a StairMaster session: 24 minutes\/107 floors (1). <\/span><\/strong>And my total steps for the day were a bit of a surprise: 20,812\/15.3 km.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday, July 2: <\/strong>I thought about a gym session, but ended up walking instead while listening to John Williams newest Indiana Jones music: 22,525 steps\/ 17.1 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, July 3: <\/strong>Another StairMaster session: 28 minutes\/122 floors (2),<\/span><\/strong> and my steps for the day: 19,840\/14.7 km.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 4: <\/strong>A short gym session: core and legs (1)<\/strong><\/span>, and my steps for the day: 13,894\/10.1 km<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 5:<\/strong> My steps for the day: 16,032\/12 km<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, July 7:<\/strong> An upper body weights session: chest, shoulders, triceps, back, lats, traps, biceps, and lower back (2)<\/strong><\/span>. And my steps for the day: 18,411\/13.9 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, July 8:<\/strong> Time for my next StairMaster session: 31 minutes\/135 floors (3)<\/strong> <\/span>–<\/span> my longest session since getting Covid – was aided by some pieces from recent Hans Zimmer concerts. And my steps for the day were a respectable 16,356 steps\/11.7 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, July 9:<\/strong> I almost made it to my gym – I walked right past it in fact, but alas, I did not enter. Instead, I just walked around a bit: 17,570 steps\/13.5 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, July 10: <\/strong>No gym, but a lot of walking: 25,135 steps\/18.8 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 11: <\/strong>I again failed to go inside my gym – depsite walking ast it – but this is a pretty crazy week with the end of summer classes and house hunting. My steps for the day: 13,584\/10 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 12: <\/strong>Again no gym: 13,732 steps\/10.2 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, July 13:<\/strong> Same again: 24,542 steps\/18.3 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, July 14:<\/strong> I really need to get to the gym today even though moving day is Monday and I have things to do. On the bright so, one thing I don’t need to do is work. I’m all done with that for the rest of the summer! IKEA and then gym – sounds like a plan! But I spent much time in IKEA buying a mattress and lots of bedding related things. So it was just another day of walking: 16,993 steps 12.3 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, July 15: <\/strong>Well I almost made it to the gyn, but ended up walking a lot instead, which I regret. Still, it was a lot of walking: 26,527 steps 20 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, July 16: <\/strong>Finally back in the gym, and since tomorrow is moving day I decided just to use the StairMaster: 37 miuntes\/162 floors (4)<\/span> <\/strong>to save my muscles for tomorrow even though there isn’t really a lot of heavy things to move. And well, I sure needed that, and I was glad I didn’t feel any difference from the week off. And I walked quite a lot: 22,293 steps\/16.1 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday Moving Day: <\/strong>A lot of walking even thought it was a busy moving day: 23,306 steps\/17.1 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 18: <\/strong>Above 20,000 steps again: 20,996\/15.6 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 19:<\/strong> It’s been 11 days since my last weights session – enough time to put me into a “I really don’t feel like it” frame of mind. But it needed to be done, and I completed a 45-minute full body workout (3)<\/strong><\/span> before breakfast. I sure needed that. And my steps for the day, a healthy 19,314\/13.1 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, July 20:<\/strong> A late night StairMaster session: 17 minutes\/79 floors (5)<\/strong> <\/span>and more walking: 21,092 steps\/15.7 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, July 21:\u00a0<\/strong>A lot of walking in. the morning as I completed the last of my vacation prep errands. And one final gym session before tomorrow’s too early flight. It was another full body workout – sans hip thrusts (4)<\/strong><\/span>, and I didn’t train my hamstrings too hard in case I get cramps on my flight. That would not be good. My total steps for the day: 23,421\/17.1 km. And that explains why I was feeling so tired at the aiport overnight waiting for my 6:45 am flight.<\/p>\n

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam<\/span><\/h5>\n

Saturday, July 22: <\/strong>A lot of walking in the city and I found a gym that I hope to visit at least twice – alas, it does not have a StairMaster, but it was the better and cheaper of the two I checked out. My total steps for the day, an impressive 27, 171\/19.5 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, July 23:<\/strong> More walking – a lot more walking: 32,318 steps\/24 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, July 24:<\/strong> A short gym session: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, lats, back, biceps, forearms, sides, and lower back (5). <\/span><\/strong>And more walking: 22,809 steps\/16.9 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 25: <\/strong>Yet more walking: 23,484 steps\/17.2 km<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 26: And some more walking as I say goodbye to Vietnam and hello to Singapore airport: 20,619 steps\/14.7 km.<\/strong><\/p>\n
