Claude – Monday, March 31

A pretty tiring day

Pedometer says: 14672 steps and I fast walked 35 minutes. It was the first time I tried to make it between 125 and 130 heartbeats a minute, and for some reason, it took me quite a long time to get to 125.

Julie -mid week 4

Spent Easter with a friend at a music festival 6 hours south of Sydney.
Employed my credo – walk, eat, love, laugh
Pedometer – total for entire Easter was 16,860 which is about one normal day!
Thoroughly enjoyed myself and loved the music.
A beauiful part of the world.

Not much on Sunday, basically resting my thigh. Sounds really exciting

30 minutes fast walking
Water intake and food really OK
I’m due for hospital –blood pressure, cholesterol count and loads of blood testing– on Thursday. Hope they [...]

Water consumption OK
My pedometer says 9200 steps
and I fast walked for 20 minutes. I felt I could have done [...]
