[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1703090, member: 429870"] Hello Japes, what a lovely post! Indeed, we have some beautiful walks here in Yorkshire, I'd love to show you one. Probably won't be marathon distance, though. And I'm pretty sure you walk faster than me. I too have no car (my strong preference, encouraged by the fact that here in West Yorkshire we have lots of public transport but horribly clogged-up roads.) So everything I eat is carried home on my back. I don't get on with shopping trolleys, except in shops, of course, where they are a blessing as I get to take my rucsac off for a while. My daughter, who works as head of a huge primary school, has the same problem as you - she clocks up lots of steps but gets interrupted before 10 minutes has gone by to count for her active minutes. Do you have a floors target? I have set 50 for mine, but I don't always meet it. I live one mile uphill from the town centre, which makes trudging home with the shopping rather strenuous. Not as hard, though, as in my pre LCHF days, when I could be carrying home whole water melons, 10 peaches for £1 etc etc from the market. Plus cartons and cartons of low fat milk. I make a sharp distinction between my bread and butter exercise, what Garmin categorises as "transportation", and my "real" exercise as in running and weight training. The "real" exercise covers far less miles but leaves me much more tired. I hope it also does me more good, but I have no proof of this. Once spring is here, I hope to be doing more "walking for fun". I guess I'd better get some training in, in case you come to visit! [/QUOTE]
