Didn't do the 30 min walk today - but I hope I am excused. Instead I did 5 hours worth of garden work (lovely spring day here in Denmark). For proof I can show my very dirty finger nails! - if you wish to come around, that is ... - Cannot do proper garden work with gloves on ....

Just worked out why I struggled to find this thread, it's under "Type 2 with Insulin"!

Anyway, I managed a 45 minutes walk at lunchtime which is pretty much the same as I've managed on most days for the last year.

Was planning some mowing this evening, but it looks like there is a big storm a brewin' :wideyed:

Settled on 20 minutes of nightie dancing instead (plus the 15 minute walk earlier). Easy peasy, just close the curtains, put earphones in, pop your iPod in your bra and you're off!

Hats off to @Mrs Vimes I have heard that "the shred" is murder :eek:

I'm only on level 1 of the shred. Did have to stop due to lack of breathing though!

Nightie dancing sounds brill.

Your big storm? Ours started about an hour and a half ago and just seems to be fizzling out. You up north?

5 hours gardening is more than enough exercise for 1 day. Did you watch Eurovision?

Jamrox, I do not know which Eurovision you are thinking about? But if you are referring to the European song contest in Copenhagen: a big yes! And I loved the winner. - By the way, my son - who is rather cool and not into this - admitted that for the first time in his life he had voted (and for the winner).

Intolerance, career politicians, reality TV and so-called celebrity culture, mobile phones in the quiet carriage.
I'm in, already done 2 x 30 minute walks today (on holiday, avoiding big thunderstorms this afternoon here too in North Wales).

Mine will be brisk walks mainly, with some garden digging. Hopefully will get a rowing machine before the 42 days are up, but I did dig out the Reebok Step from the garage - anyone remember those? I might even have the video that came with it somewhere ...

*****WORD OF CAUTION****
My friend and I went for a walk yesterday lunchtime. She is now in hospital after a cardiac spasm.
She has been having these and didn't tell anyone. She s ok now.
PLEASE if you are having any health problems go and see your gp before you do any exercise.

Got up early for another run. Might have to mix it up over the next few days with a bit of cycling, or a Cindy Crawford workout (boy that's showing my age!)

Just back from a 20 minute jaunt around the block then once around a different block, so a kind of figure of eight shaped trip. Like a honey bee.

I think I will enjoy these lunchtime walks. I was close to punching someone at work so getting out for a breather was quite handy :woot:

Did a 40 min walk today - to my shopping centre and back. A few years ago, one of my sons thought he needed my car more than I did as his had gone bust (guess he was right! - I had retired from work life then. - I will go out shortly to do some more pruning in my garden - lovely evening here - will at least keep me on my feet.
