I was so focused on stopping work every hour to make 250 steps, that when it came to lunch time, I completely forgot that I had promised myself I would take a picture for today.
It has been so grey and rained non-stop that I couldn't find any good light indoors for anything, so I challenged myself to capture one of our garden birds through the kitchen window.
There are some pretty good bird photographers on here, and I can only apologise, but for me, just managing to train my camera onto one of these chaps that were flitting around on the laburnum periodically was a major challenge.
This is all I could manage before getting back to work.
You got him, great! Those little guys are so quick, they see one little motion far away behind the window and off they go. Did you take this picture from underneath? It's a really interesting perspective. I also like your background colours, they fit my mood...
Great step goal. I promised myself to walk at least 20minutes in my lunch break, but I guess 250 steps per hour is better.
@toinette - I was going to make 10,000 steps a day every day this year, but it just isn't achievable and when working from home, I tend to just sit at the computer all day without barely moving. So, they say you should move every hour so I thought I would give it a try - 250 steps up and down in quick succession is enough to get my heart rate up a bit.
@helenhall Agreed. Normally, I walk 1 mile to the office, 1 mile home and at least 2 miles through the museum. 7,000 steps per day were easy, 10,000 achievable. Now I'm happy with 4,000.
In march, I went out all the time, but by now I'm exhausted. Your posts seem to tell a similar story.
I think you did well through the window. It is a good idea while working at home to stop every hour to get some exercise and perhaps take a photo or two. Anyone could find it so easy to just sit at a computer all day and not move. Whatever our circumstances we are all learning a new normal since Covid.
Lovely capture. During the lockdown in the spring, I found myself trapped in sitting. It was hard to move afterwards. But it worked. Now I keep walking and waiting for them to lock us up. Crazy Times!
