This is a thread where those of us who are not Ironman-ready or triathletes or any other kind of sports superstar can log our more moderate achievements and encourage each other.
I was a very keen sportswoman when I was younger but have really let it slide and these days all I want to do is make my exercise more regular. I have also spoken to/messaged other women on this forum who have similar intentions but we are a bit overawed by our (wonderful, and mostly male) diabetic overachievers. My own exercise habits go in fits and starts, so I plan to log all my moderate boring stuff here in the hope that writing it down will make me do it more often.
First of all: today I walked briskly for approximately 90 minutes!
90 minutes is fantastic, briskly is impressive!
Why don't you try to download an app like Strava? It is free to use, it is also simple. It doesn't need an internet connection as it works from mobile phone signals (it doesn't use your phone credits/minutes or your roaming data either, just the phone signal). Advantages: you can record your walk route and review it later. It keeps distance and time. You can save the walk with a name. You can add a photo. You can add notes. Works for walking, running or cycling!
Try it out, I love it. I've got my wife using a similar app (Runkeeper, also free) and she loves it too.
