This is a great example of how tracking your goals helps you to achieve them. The graph in black is my daily steps when I didn’t have a smart watch tracking my steps. The light background is from this week, after receiving a fitbit inspire 3.
My daily goal step is 6,000 steps average.
Until this week I was averaging 2,940.
Also with the lesser steps I have put on 10kgs in the last 12 months. (3 kgs over weight according to my height)
I have been more sad/depressed
Haven’t been as motivated to do… anything.

Since Buying the fitbit inspire 3 I have increased my daily steps and expect the first day when it didn’t arrive till halfway through the day. In fact I have hit 6,000 steps or more daily.
Therefore it is time to raise the daily goal to 7,000 steps daily. The ultimate goal for this stage in my fitness journey is 10,000 steps.
Once I get to 10,000 daily I will look into getting a Hiking backpack and add weights to it. I would like to get my own gear. And do more long distance camping.
For long distance hiking I need daily steps (about four hours) of 30,000 steps. On average get my speed up to 4 km walked per hour. And build my strength to carry a 20kg pack for that long.
You get to see some beautiful scenery by travelling the earth by foot.
