    I was up nice and early this morning so have had a productive morning so far. I did my walk and have achieved my silver 'body magic' award now. On to gold.  I've definitely been making more of an effort to do something each day even if it's only 15 minutes or so.

    I was logged on to work by 6.30 because I have another day of meetings and want to get some stuff done.  There's a few things I'd like to complete before I go off for the week so they aren't hanging over me.

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Early morning walk sounds good. What's the body magic award? Is it a commitment to do so much. Well done for doing it. Hope the early log in was nice and peaceful before all your meetings. I log in earlier in holidays too. Helps clear the inbox before everything goes too busy doesn't it.

    Thank you.  The awards are about gradually increasing the amount you exercise, so they are not too onerous.  Bronze is 45 minutes a week over at least 3 days for 4 weeks, Silver is 90 minutes a week over at least 3 days for 4 weeks, and gold is 150 minutes a week for 8 weeks, over 5 days and including 2 strength sessions a week.  You can break it down into 15 minute sessions which makes it easier to dip in and out of.

    I love the peace from logging on early, it really helps focus!

    Another early start for me today.  I've done one of the workout videos on the SW app, I'm so uncoordinated, I'm guessing flailing around counts as movement :D  

    I'm on a mission, as it's my last day today for over a week.  I've written my to do list and am determined to smash it!   Only one meeting today so hopefully I'll be left alone to get on with things.

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Well done on moving more. Have to admit I hadn't even realised that there are exercise bits on the App, so thanks for mentioning that.  I am also a 'flail around' counts person, no co ordination.

    I'm sure 'flailing around' counts - it's still movement isn't it?  On my pre diabetes course apparently even just wiggling your fingers and toes counts!  I'm assuming typing on here also counts then, LOL!
