Here is the month of July in my Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025 painting, a year-long painting documenting the number of steps I walked each day. I have documented my steps in paintings since 2016.
The black icons represent up to 9999 steps walked each day, red represents 10,000-19,999 steps and yellow represents 20,000-29,999 steps.
I was only able to walk 10,000 steps or more on only four days in July because it was not only hot most of the month (nine or more days over 90 degrees), there was also record breaking humidity. Both really limited my walking for exercise.
The Iridescent Bright Gold background paint used to signify the days (mostly weekends, but also including holidays, vacations days, and sick days) I was not at work, which usually gives me more time to walk for exercise than the days I am at work, with the exception of sick days (of course).
The second picture shows January through July with plenty of room for the rest of the year.
