Wow, just been catching up. You are going great on the exercise front, really brilliantly. Keep it up!

Saturday at the pub sounds like a good un!

mark55man

yes the pub was great, although a couple of pints sat in the sunshine late afternoon significantly dented my energy !!  We were planning our mid-week long weekend - which will involve food, drink a bit of culture and a lot of walking about - should be good.

Jealous of your mini-break although I enjoyed mine when I did mine too. Have fun!

sorry everyone thought I had posted earlier.

Today was my true 15/15 - I lost count somewhere.  I did a long (10km) sunny morning walk, but my fit bit conked out 3/4 way round, but still enough to get well over 10K by the time I had mowed the lawn this afternoon.

Mini-break will be fun, just need to make sure I do an early walk on the days we are travelling - as I'm not sure out friends will be happy to join me in doing a long ambling loop

mark55man

well sadly day 16 didn't happen - in the end a decision between helping a friend for a lot of the afternoon and then catching up with work until about 5 minutes ago to catch up meant I had to prioritise.

I will still aim for 10,000 average in August, but its not going to be perfect.  sad, but a little relieved TBH

safely arrived up North.  just going for a wonder - not quite sure if it will be long enough, but it will be close (and I'm on holiday) - happy hour cocktails and dinner then a film.

Enjoy wonder...

Taking pleasure in the little things

so 16/18 on the 10k steps/day challenge.  Tuesday didn't quite happen with the driving and settling in and catching up with friends, but made 8000 - yesterday was well over with a big walk around then the gallery and shops - more happy hour cocktails, and a HM curry in the flat.  a nice balance between treat and MSE.

will be home today but trying to fit in a NT property on the way down and wonder round, but I think you need to book and we haven't.  Anyway can always catch up when we get home

Did you get to the NT place? They like you to book but it isn't always necessary.

16/18 for the amount of steps you've been doing is fab. I am at 75089 steps for the month - so currently doing slightly better than July. On top of that I did a whole pilates class... have to start somewhere...

So no visits yesterday, it was just too wet to stop, so we just got home and crashed.  I went out for a walk but it just got heavier and I ended up watching telly and peaking at 5000 steps.

Today i had more get up and go and did a 4 mile run on the treadmill in just under an hour which is my quickest although still slow.  So now am 17/20 for steps and still averaging over 10000 for August

OH Pay day today so am safe now until end of month and my payday. Not looking like I will be able to clear CC3 at the end of this month as although the various pots are filling up, just a little too tight for comfort
