Cate in NZ Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I've lost my pedometer. We've been invited to a birthday party in a very nice London hotel, so yesterday I decided to go and buy a dress suitable for the party, hoping that I'd pick up something in the sales. I swear I walked miles around Bluewater, must have tried on 30 dresses and couldn't find anything that I liked, so depressing. Consoled myself with the fact that I'd walked so much that I must have clocked up a great many steps, but when I went to check the pedometer it'd gone. It must have dropped out of my pocket in one of those changing rooms. I'll keep walking though, I was doing fairly well, 8-9000 most days, less on wednesday when I was at work all day and came home too exhausted to move, but was expecting to easily top the 10 on friday and the weekend. I'll never know now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Bad luck KateA Maybe you can get another one? I'm pleased to say I have managed 10000 today, partly by parking the car a little away from the town centre and then walking in. I don't often manage 10, so I'm pleased.

Aylana Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I got 1103 steps yesterday and about 7000 of those were after I went on my night out. Its a shame that all the alcohol I drank probably outweighed the benefits of walking and dancing and being stood up all night! KateA, if you are a member of your local freecycle group you could request a pedometer on there. I bet there are loads of people who have them sitting unused in drawers!! www.freecycle.org for those who don't know what I am talking about.

Nicola H Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well done Aylana, so all that jigging about on the dance floor is good for you and enjoyable..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I got a pedometer in millets yesterday - unfortunately it was pink (well only a little bit), but it came with a free torch, was reduced to half price AND at least £1 from the purchase goes to the Breast Cancer Campaign. Just have to sit down and read the destructions now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Oh gosh, well I felt as though I'd done 10,000 steps on Saturday, as I certainly slept well on Saturday night, and feet were really tired and achey.....but I'd only done 5,000.... (I do have a good excuse though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 After my Lottie problems we did manage 2 good walks yesterday but didn't wear the pedometer so no idea of steps but it would have been over the 10000 so I will pop on the ped today and continue. Keep in up BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Well, I've got the PINK thing on today, and have done 4494 steps so far today (11.21am), so on track for 10,000 today. Should we be aiming for that or just rying to do mroe than usual? I will zero it before I go to circuit training tonight so that I can see how many steps I do there - I can hazard a guess that it is a lot. Gina, walking is great exercise when you're preggers, just don't overdo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 11,419 steps yesterday, and that was a 'normal' day. I'm wearing it again today, but might just keep it for when I'm running otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 You can stop rubbing it in now Clare ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm going to stop wearing it at work now. I have a good idea of the average steps that I do, although I am stunned that that figure converts into so few miles - feels like more I will wear it for running though as I can program it to announce mileage, which is very handy as I can never tell how far I have run.

Guest Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I did nearly 12,000 yesterday but not so much today with eglu travels etc but it's going great guns. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 That's briliant Birthday Buffie! I did 13443 today, so I guess that I would average about 10500 per day. They are selling pedometers in Tesco, really cheap. They were marked at £4, but when I got to the checkout, it was just £2.37!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well done Buffy and Clare! I did 8000 yesterday and just over 10000 the day before. Need to keep it up to around those levels and not drop back to the 3000-4000's I was doing in the days before that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleHen Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Now I am finally recovered from post op blues, thought I'd join in with this thread and had to find it on the third page So here I am starting today without extra effort at 4213 so far. So - will try and get an improvement throughout the week little by little, and especially at the weekend. How's everyone else doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
