Not been on for a few days but I am sticking to increasing my steps every day. I also did 30 mins dancing this morning...I must put music on more often! And its my birthday today and I have resisted treating myself to something naughty lol. Onwards and downwards... 10lbs down now!!
Awwww come on I was in Jammies and I am sure that countsAll dancing must be done in a nightie. That was set in stone before the 42 began ;-)

That is a brilliant idea, peacetrain. Interval training gets a new meaning, but jesting aside, those short bursts of intense exercise can really increase fitness. Also a simple way for those who are up to it, but short of time to build their exercise regime into their busy day.40 minutes brisk walking yesterday and 35 minutes this evening, in the rain.
I must apologise as I was unable to complete on Thursday and Friday. However, I've set myself to go up and down stairs 42 times for each of those two days. That's extra to the normal day to day going up and down stairs.
I'm doing it in sets of 5 and I've done 6 sets today. Quite good actually, I was watching a television programme and every time the adverts came on I went and did a set of 5. So I've done 30 of 84 ups and downs ha ha

My hubbie thought this was hilarious and suggested that she is laying out all her clothing on the bed whilst deciding which clothes make her look the slimmest and matching up her jewellery before covering up with waterproofs anyway. He often makes such suggestions to me, the git!ok today we are heading out geocaching, we are all going (even my 13 yr old cave (bedroom) dweller is coming) so should be fun, we are wellied up and will be wearing stinging nettle proof clothes so we will be walking for hours, that should cover my exercise for the challenge, now i have to try and stay calm whilst the wife spends 85 hours doing i dont know what to get ready
Oh dear, Scandichic@Jamrox this is not going well! On Saturday I got half way to Lidl and the heavens opened. The rain stopped when I got there. And started again as I left lol!
Yesterday, we cycled to the park in the centre of town. It takes 30 mins to walk there. Avoiding roads with the 6 year old. Over an hour. Lovely picnic. Went back and 6 year old accidentally rode into my front wheel causing me to fly through the air. I am covered in bruises from hitting the ground and having bike land on me. I also swore at our child. Not my finest hour. Still feeling ashamed. Hubbie took us back via a lovely country pub and took us via a short cut. Through brambles and chest high nettles. Wine was lovely, much needed and deserved. Then he took us back via under pass where I had to walk through stagnant, overflowing, ankle deep drain-water. Think I'll stick to walking!
