    This week has been damp and overcast but fairly mild so I've been able to get Nellie out for walks.
    Today- 8023 steps.

    Hello LMV and MITM, hope you enjoyed the shopping and got some steps in while sashaying from rack to rack! I've had some off days here recently though on a couple a had the Fitbit on and did not record steps though they were low. Good today with walking with Nellie and my neighbour and some mall walking. Steps 8189.

    LMV - I watched On Keeping Younger with Angela Rippon this morning in bed, with my cup of tea! All very enlightening and mightily relieved to hear dancing with Rosemary is better for us than shredding with Jillian!!!! I am full of good intentions that I'm going to start salsacising again Thursday! I also tried out the sitting cross legged exercise & scored myself 10 as I could get up but I'm going to try again & see if after exercising for awhile if it gets easier as my body feels alot stiffer after over a month of not doing anything although I obviously succeeded because of the built up muscle..... All interesting stuff.

    Well done Bracken! You have inspired me to go and hunt out my new pedometer and set it up, it is time!

    Steps were ok today- 7046 but eating plan wasn't. I wanted to do more steps but a much needed rain got in the way as well as a rather sore back from all the continued yard work.

    Spurred on by you Bracken I did 10,539 steps yesterday which I'm very pleased with as I was just walking around the house and garden, doing chores. However from all the weeding I've done, I'm feeling as if I've done several full work outs with Jillian, the pain every time I go to sit - LMV at this rate I really will have a Kylie bottom - no hope!!!

    Well done, MITM with cracking the 10,000 barrier. I did 6712 steps yesterday as well as a lot of uncalculated steps carrying buckets of dirt from the front to the back yard to top dress the lawn. My back is rather feeling it today. There is more to do but won't be done today as it has rained and more rain expected today.

    Good for you Bracken, somehow I do feel encouraged knowing I'm not alone with all these gardening chores!! Along with counting grams of sugar (for the time being) I have started to salsacise again, in a bid to slim the thighs and to get my fitness levels back up again. Yesterday I did 11,197 steps because I had my last walk around the village with my friend who is now away for 2 weeks. The weather has changed it is going to be very cold for the next week might even get snow... so just as well I'm back into the salsacising.

    Likewise, MITM. I often think of you with gardening chores and other chores especially painting! You weather is also mirroring ours; we have recently had very cool weather. Yesterday was bitter and cold and I only managed 4610 steps with Nellie. This morning there was frost on the roof of some houses. But it is sunny and I've managed 3100 steps with Nellie so far. Hope for more later. Well done on your 11,197's.

    Since I'm logging my food on here (don't normally) as I want to know where my sugar is coming from... I'm also posting my exercise - I've set myself the task for a week but they didn't have snow clearing so I logged in weight lifting as it might just as well have been! Yes we have snow - not impressed!! My tulips are standing surrounded by white stuff... So I shall have to salsacise later to get my steps up as I'm only on 3200 but I did manage 9242 yesterday.

    Definitely condolences on the snow, MITM. You are in line to win longest/worst winter award for Crackers! Poor tulips. Chilly but managed a few more steps with Nellie today- 6707.

    I got my count up to 6632 with a salsacise. Today will be better as I have to walk to the village to get food!! So I shall be able to log downhill and uphill! It's quite pathetic but watching the calorie count go up as you log, I suddenly get this urge to exercise to get it down again. I can't believe how this tool has such power over me....

    There could be worse things having a power over you, MITM! Just think of it as increased awareness and good for you thinking of the effect of walking- uphill and downhill at that. Here windy and cold (6C high today). I've done just over 3500 steps with Nellie but have some shopping to do and will try and use that to increase steps.

    Finished today with 7204 steps-not the most energetic (those were earlier with Nellie). Still they were steps not sits.

    I ended the day on 11,385 and I didn't walk to the village! However I burnt a fair few calories digging my car out of the snow... fortunately the roads were clear.
