Walking to Cambodia: Fit bit Deceived me!

Hi everyone,

Some important news today and the title explains it all.

As I was scrolling through old posts I noticed something. In the first 10 days 8,226 steps gave me 5.87 miles and 9.4 km but in this last week 9,522 steps game me 4.26 miles and 6.8 km. Clearly one of these stats where wrong. With the help of my scientist dad we came to the conclusion that the first one was wrong meaning that the fit bit gave me more km than I actually walked. The data of the last couple entry's was right everything else was wrong! We got to the conclusion that instead of walking 295.43 km I walked 207 km so big whooping 88.43 km lost. I won't lie that information was a huge blow. Here I was thinking I was on track when in reality I'm behind. After some more calculations I came to the conclusion that I now need to do 5.8 km a day instead of 5.6. When I look at it this way it doesn't seem so bad. So I might have a lot of catching up to do but it's possible and something that I will do.

So today marks the start of a new daily goal. As well as the start of being more careful of the data the fit bit gives me.

Here's to many more steps and the twists and turn every adventure eventually brings.

Walking to Cambodia: Day 32,33,34,35,36,37,38

Hi everyone!

Now before I post these stats for the last week. Let me just say I didn't walk as much as I had hoped. I miscalculated what the appropriate distance was by the lights on my fit bit. I have made walking habits now so in my daily schedule I have detours and things I do to get those km in but this week is reading week at my university which means no classes and that my routine is all off. I put in some time on the treadmill thinking that would be enough but I realize now it was not. Do not threat, now that I have seen my mistake, Starting now, I will start making up those km I missed. To be clear I didn't miss that many Km I just didn't reach my goal every day. I take this very seriously that's why I'm letting everyone know that now that I realize my mistake I will work extra hard to make it up as soon as possible.

Stay tuned I'll try to post more often this week so you can see me putting in that extra effort.

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

October 22nd	32	0	0	6,049 Steps 2.68 miles 4.31 km	4.31 km	247.74 km

Hi everyone Welcome to day 25 through 31!

To start off remember when I said weeks ago that I was busy? I am laughing at my past self now because I'm 5 times as busy now. Luckily it will slow down over the next weeks and hopefully I can post updates twice a week instead of once.

Now onto the stats as you have seen in the title I passed 200Km! I still have many more km and even hundreds of km to go but I'm on my way!

Here are last weeks stats:

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

Hi everyone here are some more stats!

But first if you haven't read my last post the fundraising page is officially up! So if you feel like it go check it out.


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

October 10th	20	0	0	9,301 steps 6.45 miles 10,38 km	10,38 km	164.62 km
October 11th	21	0	0	2,935 steps 2.1 miles 3.37 km	3.31 km	167.93 km

October 14th	24	0	0	10,670 steps 7.62 miles 12.2 km	12.2 km	191.87

As you can see two slower days for walking as it was Thanksgiving here in Canada and I was busy with family reunions among other things. But to compensate I walked over my goal a day before and two day's after which means I already made up those 4 km I missed with those 2 days and more. I'm planning on doing extra also tomorrow so I'll be even more ahead of the game.

There's now 1163.93 km left until Cambodia!

That's it for these stats.

Walking to Cambodia: Day 11,12,13 and 14 and Passing the 100km mark

Day 11,12,13 and 14.

These last day's have still been as hectic as ever. I have a never ending list of things to do. But I'm still on track! And like the title said I have passed the 100 km mark! I'm so happy about that!

Without Further a do here are the stats

 Day           Day #             Distance and time on treadmill     Fit bit data   Day total    Grand total

October 1st	11	0	0	6,876 steps 4.91 miles 7.9 km	7.9 km	96.5 km
October 2nd	12	0	0	9,672 steps 6.91 miles 11.1 km	11.1 km	107 km
October 3rd	13	0	0	4,070 steps 2.91 miles 4.6 km	4.6 km	112.2 km
October 4th	14	0	0	205 steps 0.15 miles 0.2 km	0.2 km	112.4 km

You may notice that October 3rd and 4th I did not do my 5.6 km daily goal. The reason it's only 0.2 km on the 4th is that I was sick in bed all day so not much moving. But it's alright since I passed my goal almost everyday since the start of this fundraiser I'm still on track and today day 15 when I'm writing this I have already passed my daily goal.

So let's make the daily calculation. I have now 1243.4 km left to Cambodia!


That's all for today.
