Walking To A Better 2023 - Exploring New Places!

To improve my fitness, I had previously set a goal to clock an average of 8,000 steps on a daily basis for 2023. To put the numbers in perspective, my average step count for 2022 was about 4,656 steps.

It has now been six months into the year and I thought I would share my progress and reflect on my journey thus far.

The Numbers

June was a great month and I managed to clock an average of 7,361 steps daily, which was one of my highest months so far. As a result, the overall average received a decent boost, from 6,526 to 6,700 steps currently. That said, it is still way short of the 8,000 steps target.

I did mention that I shall try to push myself in June to see if I can go higher, and it's quite satisfying that I have stuck to my plan and did the best I could.

Exploring New Places!

I would share bits about my life along this journey of Walking To A Better 2023, and this month is no different.

In this month, I would like to share about a new sport that I have been doing - swimming! It's actually not something new because I used to swim frequently back in my schooling days. So there was this new clubhouse which opened recently, and one day, I decided to take a trip down to explore. And wow, I was amazed by the views at their swimming pool.

Sharing the photos below - both day view and night view. Which one do you think is better? Haha.

In case you are wondering, the swimming pool overlooks a reservoir. In this densely populated city, such views are indeed a rare find if you ask me. Overall, I think it's a good place to de-stress from a week of hard work, spend time chilling and tanning under the sun, and be in touch with nature and the greenery. Even though it takes a bit of travelling, I think it's worth the journey.

Summing Up

So June was a great month and let's see how July would turn out. Well, I am still not sure whether I can hit my 8,000 steps target but I will just keep doing my best and enjoy the process! Like what some say, it's not always the outcome but the journey that counts! :)

Thanks for reading and have a pleasant week ahead!
