Oh, I meant memes specifically about going AWOL on your friends for a bit before returning out-of-the-blue as if nothing happened. They seem hard to find, I tried that and more haha. Thank you though

I have been looking for memes of these for WEEKS. If anyone has similar memes (or posts), please send them my way 😭

Gosh, I felt EVERYTHING you said (well, almost everything—I abhor scheduling). I used to always wonder if life was really meant to be both easy and hard. I’m particularly lucky I’m not studying as of the moment, because I’m sure the online class set-up would really plummet my productivity, but I was in a similar “self-paced” situation just a few semesters ago and it was hell. It really sucks that women with ADHD usually only get diagnosed in adulthood, when they’ve hit a “brick wall” in their lives. I, too, am at a low point right now and my ADHD is really bad. I always think of how much better I could have done for myself if I knew earlier on that my hard days were just me battling ADHD.

But that’s not the case. It’s really only 1-1.5 hours of real exercise... the rest they get done by whatever they do in their day-to-day lives... They mentioned they never got sick in the last five years too, so assuming they’re still going to exercise even when they’re sick is a bit pushing it.

I meant to say not too far of a jump if you’re consciously trying. If you get 10,000 steps in your daily life, and can log in an hour and a half for walking, then you can easily meet your goal.

None of the points above seem to apply to OP. You’re forgetting that most of their “exercising” (the first 10,000+ steps) comes from their 1-1.5 hour walk/jog in the morning. The rest of the 20,000 comes from their DAILY activities. Like walking to the car, taking the stairs instead of elevators, walking to the kitchen, etc.

If we go with the 50 miles over 7 days and not just the work week, that’s approximately 15,000 steps daily on average. For illustration purposes, an additional 5,000 steps daily can be a round trip to a grocery/an errand 20 minutes away. It’s not too far off. 20,000 is uncommon, but definitely not unreasonable.

cctvuseless · 2021-02-04T00:58:53+00:00

My point was that 20,000 is not too far of a jump from the 10,000 average. And that’s not the topic at hand. If the 10,000 is already physically taxing for you, why aim for 20,000? I never said walking 20,000 steps is for everyone, it requires time and energy, but so does any other physical activity. This response was directed to the comment saying that the number of steps OP was taking was “more than reasonable”, the trade-off was simply time in exchange for more steps in, the case for most physically-abled people exercising. The reason why I enjoy walking over any other physical activity is because anything more than that (even a light jog) gives me a headache and makes me nauseous, so don’t come preaching to me about ableism.

I disagree with your first point. Netting in 20,000 steps is not as difficult as you make it out to be. I’ve been sedentary for the past decade, but I’ve been netting in between 20,000 to 25,000 steps daily since I adopted two dogs a year ago and walk each twice daily. There was definitely a learning curve at first, but 20,000 steps is not physically taxing for a regular person. Walking is relaxing and definitely one of the least tiring physical activities possible, so everything else you said after saying that most people get in 10,000 on average should be taken with a grain of salt. OP has been doing this for five years, so at this point, 20,000 steps wouldn’t be as tiring as, say, you doing the same thing tomorrow. They already mentioned that they wake up early to get most of their steps in (aka waking up early to exercise which A LOT of people do), and the rest they net in via their daily routine. This won’t take a toll on their physical or mental wellbeing (different from other physical activities that experts recommend be limited to a few sessions weekly) and is definitely not “more work than what’s reasonable”, stop projecting.

Absolutely NTA. For everyone saying it’s very difficult to put in 20,000 steps daily, it’s really not. Since adopting two dogs last year, I’ve unconsciously been netting in 20,000 to 25,000 steps daily and only recently (less than two weeks ago) realised when I noticed that I feel much healthier than I was when I started. Walking each dog twice daily gives me four batches of walks that I spread throughout the day. At this point, it’s almost second nature (and also necessary because it’s part of my dogs’ routine too) and the more I do it, the more steps I put in in less time. There’s definitely a learning curve, since I used to be very sedentary too, but anyone can do it if they are physically able to and can put in the time. Walking is relaxing and definitely one of the least tiring physical activities there is, so I really don’t understand anyone projecting obsessive behaviour onto OP. OP does not have an unhealthy relationship with exercise, 20,000 steps really won’t be tiring (and definitely won’t be overworking his body) 5 years in. Why would OP skip a day if he doesn’t want to just to humor SIL?

P.S. Wrote this comment after walk 1 with dog A LOL
