Get Back On It!

I did try going without the Garmin but it didn't work.

Seems that I'm quite limited with regards to step counting, iPhone and Conqueror challenges. I could not get the Conqueror challenge app to automatically add my daily step count to the annual challenge using any of the options available to me.

The Garmin Vivo that I would typically use ran out of battery and I was hoping to use just the Apple fitness but that would not register. Thankfully I found this out now as I had been considering getting an Apple watch. I think my next watch is likely to be a Garmin so that it has it's own infrastructure, can operate on iOS or Android or independently.

Step count for the month has been very low. While I know I haven't been doing normal walks I have been walking the dog pretty regularly but still I was showing days of under 2000 steps!

The problem being, typical walking around the house I'll not have my phone on me. I replaced the batteries in my Garmin Vivo last night and it's already registered 1335 steps for this morning and it's not even 8am!

Jumped on the scales this morning, 84.4Kg. I've moved to recording using kilograms since that's what the rest of the house uses I'm sure I'll get used to the figures eventually.

Blood pressure, 110/71 pulse 82bpm.

No 360 picture yet as it's a cold, dark morning with little to see.
