You will NOT believe this but as soon as I read your message I got up to walk outside to calculate the travels and my wife Laurel said B4 I even reached the front door "are you checking your lap distance"? ..... no kidding.
Too funny.
5000 yards +
These women seem to know every move a man makes spooky!
According to google that's 2.84091 miles nearly 3 miles, how long does that take? seems I'm going to have to get an accurate measurement for my walk now, I feel a bit of a competition coming on here.
I try to walk as fast as possible (not the ponsy walking what professionals do) and do it to 'time' rather than distance, i.e. 30mins, which means I am walking further now as I have got a lot faster.

Ask Santa for a pedometer.
It was diet coke (well diet Pepsi)...I feel a bit like a spoilt child today... just want to lay on the floor kicking and screaming its not fair...I know I am the one controlling what i eat, but it seems even the stuff I thought was okay is causing me jip at the moment. My portion control has most likely crept up, but I'm feeling too fed up to care and old habits die hard. I need to have a serious talk with myself and then go back to basics. Especially has the weight hasn't shifted at all for about 8 weeks now. Still tomorrow is another day.. so hopefully the mood will pick up tomorrow and the BS will go down.Coke Kezz?? Mike
Great point. I must admit I am comfortable now with a fasting figure of mid 5's for MENothing wrong with fasting levels in the 5's. They are normal. Try not to compare your readings with some of the others getting much lower numbers. We all have different "normal" levels, the majority of us are happy in the 5's.
Go Mike Go. You have the experience now. You will do it!! You do inspire thats part of why the sharing on here is sO important.SJ. Those words (which made me mist up a little bit) just made me even MORE determined. Thank YOU
More strength to do thisNite and sleep well Sable Jan

EDIT - Should have added this. Had to drop my fave foods (pizza and fries but only once a month anyhow), had to give up my fave drink (Guinness) dismiss any sweets so how hard can this be? I've survived the rest of it, feel a whole lot better for it and have you guys to thank for itSome members think I inspire others with what I've done?
No.
Reverse is the case.
5.5 today. Funny you should be talking about this. I ahve been building up my walk and my jogging. I use the free pedometer in S Health on my Samsung S5 Android. As below;These women seem to know every move a man makes spooky!

Rant as much as you like cos we all understand..... Hope the weather is dry for your walk. Just stopped raining here and wind quite mild but very miserable and grey so about to out my tree up and get the lights on it. Going to see if I can get 62 year old ones to work too....It was diet coke (well diet Pepsi)...I feel a bit like a spoilt child today... just want to lay on the floor kicking and screaming its not fair...I know I am the one controlling what i eat, but it seems even the stuff I thought was okay is causing me jip at the moment.

Anyway rant over... I'm off for a walk before lunch in the hope if will lift my mood and lower my BS.
Hi, Thanks for that, I have a mechanical pedometer, an omron, but I will download the 'S health' and try on my Android. I have and old Xperia Arc S but does not have a lot of space.5.5 today.

True. The Androids do use a lot of battery power as its using gps to track you on your walk and lots of other background activity. It does fitness programs on it, calorie counter, heartbeat and loads else. I like it cos I don't have to do anything it just monitors the steps automatically on my phone.Hi, Thanks for that, I have a mechanical pedometer, an omron, but I will download the 'S health' and try on my Android.

The last time I tried a ped App the battery was flat within a day, even got a new battery but made no difference.
I'll see how I get on

And I forgot to say extremely friendly too
