and my house has never been so clean!!
Went for my morning walk this morning..and never fell over this time, despite the ice.OH and I also went for an hour last night....I am going to wear my legs down at this rate.
I got back and did half an hours tennis on the Wii..it is addictive as this forum...I eventually "beat" the computer..I was determined to do it today!
Also swept out and cleaned the kitchen floor..lots of elbow grease.
I have listed activities that I would like to start and my list includes ice skating (did it as a kid), dry slope skiing, ballroom dancing (got silver medals in)and more walking on the beach.
..any way I jumped on the scales this morning and I have lost 3 pounds since last week!
...sorry if this post is boring, but it really does motivate ME!!!!

How can you think it is boring...........I love to hear this sort of thing. Keep it going and if noone else wants to hear then pm me as I do!
I am afraid me and technology seem to have a mutual understanding.......it is clever and I am dim!!!! I don't know what a Wii is!!!!
I would love to do dancing but my knee won't stand up to it now. Never been interested in skiing. However I am hoping that the hosp will give me the go ahead to do Pilates as this would be so good for my stress levels, flexibility and some exercise.
Keep the posts like this coming please.....they not only motivate you but me as well.

Well done Blossom.Yesterday I managed to get my pedometer to over 10000 steps for the first time ever!
Bit slow on getting started today though so I'd better get going.I'm going for a short walk with my OH each evening which is helping us both and I'm intending to give my house a bit of an early Spring clean,following Mrs Twiddler's advice.It's more fun with Forum help so keep posting it's not boring.

Well done dec, now keep it up. Everyday!!!! Too icy to walk this morning, but just off now to see if the pavements are better.
Fancy Southport beach about 7.30 on Sunday morning, Bloss. Hardly anyone about and you feel as if you are in another world. If you stick to the soft sand, gives your thighs a work out.

Keep up the good work, Blossom. I've been bending and stretching while taking down my Christmas decorations and I'm going to have a Wii Fit session later. I must put a new battery in my pedometer, dec.

Blossom well done you.
You can be my inspiration after my overeating at Christmas certainly took it's toll. No calories in the "lighter than air chocolate" floated away, it stuck to my hips. I am also trying to move more.

Chilla..we usually go up to Formby point, as you can get a really good work out up and down the sand dunes!I am planning on going there sometime this weekend.
Went to a funeral this afternoon.It was an uplifting experience, although sad.My friend was such an inspiration,which shone through when people spoke about her.As she died of cancer, I have made it a resolution to get fit and healthy in her memory and maybe do the "race for life".She left behind two beautiful daughters.

I am on here early looking for inspiration/ motivation....woke up aching all over...no temperature, so i think it may be either the result of the fall I had on the ice, the jumping around I have been doing on the wii or a combination of both.At the moment I just want to go back to bed!!I have work later and will be there for the rest of the day, so I will have to get my walk in earlier today than normal, unless I go this evening with OH...
Chilla how do you get up and walk your dogs so early in this dark cold weather..what a woman!

Blossom
I managed to get my 10000 steps in yesterday, and in 45 mins I aim to go for a walk with a friend, not the usual coffee and cake.
So get out your pedometer and I challenge you to a 10000 step day. ( How was that, did it motivate you?)
If not snuggle up in bed and think of me clicking away!LOL

hi bloss, do you think maybe you have been over enthusiastic and not built up gradually enough. Do you a few stretching and cooling down exercises?
Well done Whitley, so thinking of upping the total Whitley? Anyone fancy a 20,000 day? Might have to wait for the snow and ice to go, still slithering a bit too much.
Bloss, I've always had jobs with odd hours. Even when I was little, I used to be in charge of map reading at age 3 and my Dad was forever getting me up at 2 and 3 in the morning. Very happy days.

Wednesday.
Sorry I didn't manage my 10000 steps yesterday but did get to 8600 so not too bad and I also did a workout to Paddy and Max DVD.
Not doing so well today after a really disturbed sleep last night but have just talked OH into doing a 3 mile round trip to the pub tonight,walking of course.I'll stick to slimline tonic but do find having a target to aim for helps and it definitely motivates him.
Whitley Bay I'd love to be your walking buddy as you suggested on your thread.How do you suggest we organise it?
I obviously realise that it will be "virtual"unless by a happy chance you live in Poole,Dorset?

I have a bit of work to do then taking dog for a walk when OH gets in from work,I'm on the move at work every night(no sitting for me)seriously thinking of joining curves but as I dont drive its a bit awkward getting there...
Great motivation post Blossom!

Chilla, I have decided to try and up my step count today. I thought I would aim for 10050! Got to keep things realistic!
Dec we must find a way of doing this walking buddy bit, no unfortunately I do not live in Poole.I hear it is a beautiful place beside the sea.
Do you feel any better yet Blossom, how is the aching body?

Pedometer enforcer here. I'll be expecting 10,100 from you tomorrow Whitters 
I think it took me about 3 months to build up from my initial average of around 7000, up to at the time about 18,000. Bit ambitious, so scaled back to 15,000 
If you do go to Dorset to see dec, count me in - spent last Xmas there and it was lovely.

Hi Whitley Bay and Chilla,
I'd love to see you both in Dorset.By a strange coincidence I used to live not so far from W.Bay.I then moved and lived not far from Runcorn.I also used to spend time at Formby and Ainsdale,like Blossom does now.
We are practically related!
I'm not doing so well today but I did force myself out to post a letter even though I will pass the post box tonight on my walk to the pub.Using the pedometer has made me realise that it's practically impossible to achieve 10000 steps unless you get out of the house and walk.The added bonus of this is we need vitamin D for our bones and even winter sun provides this and the fresh air brings a glow to our cheeks.I look 16 after prancing down to the post box.
Perhaps it's not so good for my eyesight.Lol
