Apple Watch November 2019 Challenge

(updated)


Hello Folks - been busy here, doing work-related stuff even on my rest days, I can barely touch my blogging site as I have to squeeze in some weekend responsibilities at work.


Nevertheless, I made an effort to post a couple of updates (this is the 2nd one) - my November 2019 Apple Watch Challenge.





It's a 100.9 mile long distance challenge; that's 162.38 kilometers. The longest distance by far as compared to the the distance challenge I got last August (88.6 miles).

From how I am faring thus far since November 2, I'm ecstatic to share that walking here is purely a bliss because I get to be so close with nature.




Last Sunday - it was more intense, I walked 3.69 miles rewarding me with the highest calories burned so far in my whole existence of using Apple Watch Walking exercise.

The Case Of The Angry Walker



Sunday slowdown.

Ain't nice swinging your feet, at home.

Alone.

Snacking. Letting time pass - stress-free

Minding your own business

While the world gets to transcend from noontime

to sunset...





And you, feeling every bit of satisfaction.



Like wowsers after wowsers

Until you get to be binge-watching

To Insatiable because Patty Bladell is just

freakinly awesome.

Like there's no forever.


Wordsmith... you get to to say to yourself

Nahhh, just letting time fly

leisurely.

Happy Sunday!!!
