...did my thirty minutes brisk walk yesterday in my lunch hour.....I bought a pedometer last week and was going to wear it all day yesterday to see how many steps I was doing but counted fifty steps and it said 128!!! ...serves me right for buying a cheap one, don't think I'll bother with another....:rolleyes:

Where were you wearing it? Apparently near the chest can cause wobbles that give you extra steps for free.

I have done my walk today but not the ironing because I have had lots of other stuff to do. I will do it this evening though.

30 minute walk along seafront and a jaunt round Morrisons, again.- I'm going to have to dig the garden up and plant lettuce as I'm eating my bodyweight in it.

I had a mate who had the stepcounter on her blouse and if she didn't like the total she would do this cracking shimmie to get up to her total.
She classed shimmieing as exercise - looked a bit like a tsunami tbh - slim body with massive ...........

I stupidily decided to try Holland and barratt green tea super diet tablets. Well they probably make you loose weight because they make you feel hyper and sick. .

todays exercise was geocaching, what an awesome excuse to exercise my youngest LOVED IT!! and we actually found the treasure in the woods, we then tried to find one in a church but alas that will have to wait until another day. please have a look if you like www.geocaching.com you basically try to find a hidden package using gps on your phone or anything else that has gps i suppose and read the clues, which contains stuff and a little book that you sign and date, then click "found it" on the app and leave a message, its great

Thankyou @copepod what an awesome idea, we will be geocaching our head off at the weekends, exercise for all of us :)

One hour walk with the dog this morning and 30 minutes ironing this evening. I also did a few minutes on the cross trainer, not many but it's a start!
