Walking the Mall While Waiting for my Car | My Actifit Report Card: March 22 2024

I walk for health & enjoyment. As I get back to this activity, I would like to walk for a minimum of an hour each day & I'm shooting for 10,000 steps.

On This Walk......

Today my walk is more about getting it done than anything else. I had to take my car to get a new tire & rotate plus balance. I do this at Walmart in the next city up. My local Walmsrt doesn’t have an auto shop, they just sell auto supplies. So anyway, this Walmart is located in the Galleria Mall, so the mall is where I decided to get my walk on while my car was at the shop. My Goal today is to get at minimum, 5000 activity steps on my walk. I also did some shopping at home depot & made a couple of other stops along the way before returning home.

The Music That Moves Me

Adding some of the music I listened to today. As always, I start with what's playing when I start, then what's playing about halfway through, & end with what brings me home.

On March 22nd it was 10:42 am when I dropped my car off & started on my way. I started out with no music as I walked with my husband through Walmart & crossed over to the mall. Upon reaching the mall I listened to music with just 1 earpiece in since my husband was walking with me.

At 10:55am & 616 activity steps I walked to the beat of a song called ‘Heartbreaker’ by ‘Dionne Warwick’.

As I walked around the mall, I found that I wasn’t making much progress inside the mall after 1 go around the mall, so I decided to take the walk outside. My husband was still with me at this point and at some points he just watched & waited as I walked into every space that was on the path.

Outside the Mall…….

I walked around about 2/3rd’s of the mall on the outside then I went back inside. At this point my husband sat down on a bench while I continued to walk around the inside of the mall some more.

Inside the Mall

When I figured it was getting close to time for the car to be done, I decided to take the walk back outside, as I figured I could get more steps outside than inside. Plus there was something about the surface of the floors inside that made me feel my legs getting tired, that doesn’t happen when I’m walking on a normal basis.

About 11:47am as I walked back to the car shop wish 4101 activity steps so far, I had a good beat to step to with ‘Beyonce’ moving me to her sound of ‘Get Me Bodied’

At 12:02pm with 5652 activity steps & Hooked on Your Love by ‘Carmen Ejogo, Jordin Sparks & Tika Sumpter’, My husband called to say the car was finished, so I went inside & stopped the music.

We still had to wait a few minutes so I went and did a little shopping & by the time I left Walmart I had 6593 activity steps. This wasn’t as much as I would love to have on a normal day but I at least had accomplished my goal for the day. I still got a few more steps in with my visit to Home Depot & a few more stops along the way. A total of 7850 activity steps, not bad for outing when I didn’t have time for my morning walk. Tomorrow, back to the normal activity & trying to hit those 10,000 activity steps.

Thanks for reading!! & Hope you enjoy the music!!
