I really suffered today...my mind was on work, work, work, (motivated by holiday, holiday, holiday) and then Alex's Prom so with little thought I took a lift to work for an 8am meeting and a lift back at 5:20 so that I could be here for Alex dressing for her school Prom. So the result was that at the end of the day as I settled to watch Eastenders (ah poor Hev) my steps were lacking by over 7000 steps - wow!
So work was good - my team were great and Alex and friends were lovely - thanks too to Rudy who came especially to be with Alex today and catch up - they enjoyed that and Rudy stuck around to see the girls off to Prom. My stepping came a bit late and although I did go for a long walk - I got fed up walking alone and finished over 2000 steps at home - hard work and not to be recommended.
Stepping out of doors is interesting - Beckton looked nice this evening and was peaceful - but indoors it is hard work as I jiggle about - conscious of extra beef moving around.......
So where to from here? Well that is it I need to maintain now. For me this means that I need to build into every day time for stepping (dancing works too - I should have gate-crashed the Prome eh?)
During my holiday this should be perfectly possible - wish I could wear my pedometer in the sea to count effort but I need to step on top of that!!
I need to mention my work colleagues and friends - Fridah has topped the charts - almost 30k steps some days (including jogging) - she actually looks fantastic! Preeti too walks and walks more each day which is fantastic and Isabella and Amanda have been amusing - Amanda walks her dog each day and makes Isabella jealous because Is. is up at 4:30 each day and is competitive!!!
Now what about the public health no smoking team? Well they are challenged by the wonderful HR Team.....and want to try another two weeks!!
Bye for now......off to work out how I will step over the week-end......even although officially I have week-ends off!
