Thanks for the thread!!!0 -
1 August - official rest day - I am donating blood so won't be able to exercise however I have been told that when you donate blood the body uses 500 cals to replenish it - does this count as exercise ;-) - Managed to get in a nice brisk walk before donating blood ;-)
2 August - ran 5k again - :-D - and did it a little bit quicker!!!!
3 August - had guests for the weekend so didn't get any exercise in today
4 August - quick 30 min wlak fitted in today
5 August - 6 hour road trip so not a lot of scope for exercise
6 August - woo hoo back on track with a 5 k run, not only that done outside for the first time AND at 6am!!!
7 August - will be disappearing off for a nice long walk in the Cheshire hills today for an hour or so with my camera
8 August - 6 miles walking
9 August - 3 miles walking
10 August - rest day - got home late on the 9th from visiting and had stuff to catch up with
11 August - still catching up on stuff so another rest day but from tomorrow back with it 100% :-)
12 August - I am back - ran 5k outside not on treadmill :-)
13 August - first day back at work after week off = knackered = brief walk today but walked quickly ;-)
14 August - gym day - woo hoo - weights and cardio for 74 mins :-)
15 August - 12 hour day at work and bunny cleaning night so a very brisk 30 minute walk was all I could fit in today :-/
16 August - dusted of the wii fit & did over an hour of that and some wii zumba - different but fun!
Confession time - I have not been good - life has gotten in the way a little bit but I am honest so here's my catch up :-)
17 August - zilch, nada, zip -
18 August - pathetic amount of walking - nothing to write home about!
19 August - slightly better walk than above but still not the greatest!
20 August - zilch, nada, zip take two
21 August - wii fit session egged on by my son! - forgot to take my gym kit to work so missed gym session
22 August - zilch, nada, zip take three
23 August - bit more like it - gym session and yes I suffered for it as I hadn't done anything for a while - spent most of Friday walking like John Wayne due to very achy legs! That was payback for not exercising very much!
24 August - this is embarassing - absolutely nothing!
25 August - Nope nothing here either - somebody kick me up the *kitten* please
26 August - ten pin bowling but I haven't logged it because it was not strenuous in any way shape or form because I had just had a manicure for step-daughters wedding and there was no way I was going to mess up my nails!
27 August - I will confess now - not going to do much today - need to pack for going to step daughters wedding and travel to hotel so can't imagine I am going to get anything fitted in here
28 August - Wedding - will not be exercising apart from standing up a lot in high heels (does this burn cals???)
29 August - planning ahead now - I will do something on Wednesday of this week - I have a day off work so there is really no excuse in the world to stop me from exercising!!!!! Watch this space ;-) - managed to do some walking in the end - better than nothing!
30 August - woo hoo back with it - got in a gym session - bet I won't be able to walk tomorrow now!
31 August - 6 pack in 6 weeks because I felt I should be punished for not exercising enough in August - I am suitably punished! Also did a little bit of wii Fit
Total steps for August 174061
Average daily steps for August 5615
Cals burnt through steps but not deducted because this is normal everyday moving around 6410
Well done to everyone on here for all the exercise done in August !!!
