One week to go!

Hi everyone.

The 10,000 steps challenge is going fairly well! I am in the last steps of preparing for my trip. Its coming up so soon! I will try to post how many steps Ive done each day.

I am not sure when I will get the chance to write again. But definitely expect some posts when I get back on what I saw and maybe a couple extra things i'm looking into.

I also want to thank everyone soooooooo much for helping along this journey. Everyone of you are amazing! Even the simple good jobs, and keep it up really helped me reach my goal of walking one tenth of the distance to Cambodia.

On the note of donations I have been in contact with both charities that i'm donating too. One is looking into if the money can be given to the communities i'm going to be working with but if not I was told that I will get some more info on where the money is going which I will share on my blog so everyone who donated can see where their money is going and everyone else can also have a look more in depth of what Ive been working towards!

For the other charity I might me meeting with one of the representatives in person while in Cambodia and give the money directly to them. That's still in process of being discussed.

So that is whats going on with everything right now. I can't believe I am leaving for Cambodia in 7 days! One week!

Thank you for following me on this adventure!

Update

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update on my steps. I am now at 1650km which is 295 km passed my goal!

On the subject of the next challenge I put for myself I have been doing 10,000 steps more than twice every week but not the wanted 5 times a week. Now my final exams are over so with the extra time that gives me I am planning on achieving that goal this week if not next week!

Thank You for following me on this adventure!

I did it!

Hi everyone.

I just went over the data using Excel to see how many steps I did and the current total is 1447.48 km!

That means that I walked the distance to Cambodia! I reached my goal of 1355.8 km and passed it by  91.68km!

But it's not over yet. Now that I reached my goal I will set another to finish off this fundraiser with a bang!

My goal is to walk over 10,000 km at least 5 times a week for the 6 weeks left!

That would mean I would do at least 300,000 steps in the next 6 weeks around 345 km.

So let's get to it and see if I can reach goal number two!

Thank you for following me on this adventure!

Talk to you soon!

Update and a lot of data coming soon!

Hi everyone its definitely been a while since I last posted but this week I have walked over 10,000 steps everyday expect for yesterday since it was my birthday so I took a bit of a break and only did around 7,500 steps. It's getting very close to my trip! So I am really putting in that extra effort.

Yesterday I got my backpack for the trip. Boy those things are expensive but I'm hopping on using it a lot in the years to come.

We will see in my next post how close I am to my goal!

Until then.

Look for adventure's big or small!

Lots of Data.

Hi everyone! ,

I got behind in putting my data in my form with all the school work and my job and trip preparation and getting sick ect... and so a friend of mine helped me out and found a way to export the data directly from the fit bit. He put it in an excel sheet(Excel is one of the rare programs I can't seem to understand.) and it gives the total, the only problem is that I can't post a table like the last times because the data is arranged completely differently. And so all I can do is post the current total and the next time I will be able to tell you, readers, how much more I did that week

Without further ado I am at, 1121.6 km which means only 234.2 km to go on this challenge to reach 1355.8 km one tenth of the distance to Cambodia.

Now that I am caught up in putting all the data in I will be able to post more.

Fit data

First week back to school last week and there was so much to do. I got a lot of walking in though and all that data will be up in the next couple days.

Data

Hi everyone!

As I had mentioned on my last post I did more walking on January 7th which is why I put it up again. On Friday I did a lot of walking but my fit bit did not record any of it. Which brings me to my next point I just received a new electronic device to calculate the walking distance which means starting Monday I will be able to start my quest to catch up on all the data that my fit bit miss read or deleted.

 Date                Day #              Treadmill stats                     Fit bit          total for day   Grand Total

January 7th	109	2.87 miles 4.61 km 2.12 miles 3.41 km	50:05 minutes 40:01 minutes	No data	8.02 km	385.36 km
January 8th	110	0	0	No data	---------------	385.36 km

More Data to come soon

Thank you for following me on this adventure.

Data.. sort of

Well it seems the fit bit is again not connecting to my computer. Luckily I have been doing walks on the treadmill and calculating it that way which means I do have some data to show. Also I will be getting something new to calculate the distances and so I should be able to jump back on track in no time.

 Date                Day #              Treadmill stats                     Fit bit          total for day   Grand Total

January 4th	106	2.05 miles 3.29 km	40:02 minutes	No data	--------	374 km
January 5h	107	2.08 miles 3.34 km	40:04 minutes	No data	----------	377.34 km
January 6th	108	0	0	No Data	-----------	377.34 km
January 7th	109	2.87 miles 4.61 km	50:05 minutes	No data	-------------	381.95 km

So that's it for today. I might be doing more walking today so I will add that no the total in my next post.

I now have 973.85 miles left until Cambodia!

Fit bit data erased

My fit bit was not working as you all know so I gave it to someone I thought could fix it. This person played with it and it syncs now but a whole month of doing a 2 and a half hour walks was deleted. Which means I am a lot behind. And needless to say a bit crushed. I have 985.09 km left until I reach my goal of 1 km for every 10 it take to get to Cambodia and I have 141 days left until then. Which means I need to do 6.9 km a day. I have no clue if this goal is even possible anymore since I do have school and work and its winter(20-30 cm of snow only today) so not many chances to go outside for a walk. The only option really is to go on the treadmill which I find much less appealing than walking outside. With all obstacles yes the goal line is hard to see but I won't give up until the final day of my walking challenge has come to pass and I did my best to overcome all the obstacles and reach my goal of 1355.8 km.

So I leave you with this. A lot more walking to come and a lot of hard work, but all adventures have their ups and downs and the only way through is by keeping positive, working hard, and finding creative solutions to overcome them.
