Hello everybody,

Been faffing around on this bloomin' forum for the last hour trying to decide whether its sleep or walking this avvo. So now I'm awake I might as well go walkies. So its only 2 miles, but double quick to give me time for exhausted sleep befors OH gets home and cooks the dinner like any other good woman should:p

nicky - that is useful thanks! I walk about 2 miles min a day so ill guess i do the suggested 10,000 steps we r supposed to do next time stick the trainers on. I got 2 pair of blister resistant socks in primark for £2. SOOOOOO comfy! worth checking out guys

WTBAS - well done on the 4 miles!

Pepe - 2 mile is 200 calories gone!! thats a chocolate bar hehe! So there is no "only" about it

I got a lift into the city today to drop some stuff into uni, insisted i walk home though so that was my 2 mile exercise When i first started it took me 45 mins and i was out of breath even walking in (the way in is down hills, the way home is up) and now its 30 mins either way and i dont feel out of breath, but i do get sweaty! Its great lol. I wish I had somebody to go on walks with around nice places, rather than just the needful walks iykwim!

Thanks LilMiss, just done my 2 miles,

Mmmmm Chocolate. Must resist, daughter works for a promo firm with contracts for 'Heaven' chocs and Kit Kat etc and brings home pallet loads nnnooooooooo!! ( or yyesssssss!! ).

Dont forget to your leg stretches before and after walks, otherwise you'll develop short muscles and never be a ballet dancer.

Ta for Primark tip, my 'Bridgewater, £7 a pair' socks are wearing out and I bought them while I could 'afford it'. And yes, it does get a bit boring...

LilMissEmmylou

ouch - much rather £1 a pair hehe. Not so fussed on ever doing ballet either lol. Ooooh what you could do is stash loads of that choc for christmas and put them in hampers - movie night ones, death by chocolate ones etc etc then u can use the money u saved to buy something nice for urself rather than just eat the calories lol

Managed 17000 steps today about 3.5miles. Will defo be sticking to trainers in the future. Wish it wasnt so cold out so i could wear my fitflops still but my feet'll freeze. Thanks for the primark tip too LilmissEmmylou will check em out next time i'm there.
Got a bit of a house full tomoro so will have to try n squeeze my walk in early on or i wont get a chance.
Have a good weekend everyone

Hiya!

Can I join? As I am not working at the moment, walking places will cut back on petrol and probably get me fit!!

I made a start today though, I walked to my physio appointment!!! I have a bad back so walking hurts a little, but it's a 20 min round trip, which was good.

And I went out for a walk along the canal with a friend on Weds, but I'm still suffering that one today!

Will aim to take a trip into town tomorrow, which should be about 30/40mins depending on speed... I think I will try and build up slowly, still not sure what this weeks physio exercises will do to me!

Great idea!

LilMissEmmylou

walked about 3 mile yesterday woohoo. Aiming for at least 2 mile today if not 4 Hows everyone else going?

Had a quiet day today, just about managed my 10,000 steps. Aimimg for 16,000 tomoro, taking little un for a long walk round park. Dug out wellies n waterproofs so no excuses!!!

No too well this week. Yesterday compromised and took the car part way (instead of the whole way I was planning ). So probably only just over a mile.

Only going for a walk at lunch if the weather improves - don't think sitting soaking wet at work all afternoon will help my heavy cold much
