5 months to emerge as a butterfly

How long do you walk for each day to get so many steps?

Hi JulieJim ... I normally go for an earliy morning walk, that tends to be for about an hour - 2 hours. (I walk about 6,500 steps an hour). Then I will pootle around, food shopping / housework etc which adds on a few more thousand over the course of the day, then a couple of walks with the dog during the day and that normally gets me to my 20,000 steps.
If I go for one of my long morning walks then that takes me about 2.5 hours and gets in about 16,000 steps, then I don't need to worry for the rest of the day as I will reach 20,000 over the course of the day.
On average I do about 1,000 steps in 10 minutes, so I do try to make myself get up and move about if I've been sat too long. I also always walk around if I'm on the phone as I am so busy chatting that I don't notice it

Morning, another walk in the sun done this morning, took me over 750,000 steps towards my 1.7 million target
Last night I went paddle-boarding with friends down the beach, was great fun and didn't get too wet
Today I have a general uneasy feeling, think it's just everything going on with ds getting to me. I need to keep myself occupied to take my mind off it all. I might tackle the garage today - tomorrow I have the council coming to collect the old sofa (£36!), that will clear a chunk of space in there and I want to do a car boot sale the weekend after next (weather permitting) to finally clear a load of old junk out too. Then I hope to properly organise what's left in there.

Thank you Buffy and Beanie
So yesterday I met up with a guy I've been chatting with and let's just say a very nice time was had by all Huge confidence boost for me, he's 10 years younger than me and without doubt the hottest guy I've ever had Hopefully I'll see him again but who knows, but whatever, he's made me feel sooo much better about myself, got me out of my comfort zone and is another step to forgetting all about Mr S

Do you belong to dating sites or is it a chat room?  Hope you dont mind my asking?

Janb5 ... Tinder  It's actually nowhere near as bad as people say, and I much prefer it to Plenty of Fish - far too many sleazy old guys on there.
