    I call it "The Beast." It eats calories and energy like no one's business!

    Thinking of doing a long hike tomorrow, weather permitting.

    Cheers,

    Woohoo!! Hit my daily goal of 750 with a total of 782! It was split with walking the dog and the treadmill. :)

    Looking forward to hearing everyone else's success stories!

    I am in once my knee heals so I will get a late start. Missed a step coming down a ladder and kind of made it angry.

    Hope it heals well, that sounds painful.

    Monday : 1126 calories on a 9 mile walk
    Tuesday: 707 calories on a 6 and a bit mile walk. I was very tempted to hitch a lift on a donkey when I was faced with the last incline.
    I'm finding it a bit daunting if I am honest...

    641 yesterday, running and walking. Twanged my calf so couldn't do my planned gym session. Off for a walk in a minute to see whether it's ok or needs resting.

    that machine looks awesome! I wish I could use that, I love the elliptical and stationary bike, so combining them looks like an amazing workout.
