Dieting and Weight Loss

[Peikko 1,575]

I like walking, although walking really doesn't burn many calories and I'm not a crazy speed walker.

Just walk uphill

I would Cleo, but I do my walking at work and there's no hills there! They have, however, mapped out an entire mile for people who want to exercise on their lunch break.

Trouble is if you do it properly, you work up a sweat and then have to sit soaked in it all afternoon.

If you don't do it properly, then you are just presenting the muggers and opinion pollsters and rabid dogs and sea gulls with an opportunity for no gain

I used to play badminton at lunch before I realised I was wearing my body out. I had a shower but kept glowing and leaking until 3pm when I went to sleep during meetings.

I don't mind going for a nice stroll after sitting all day.

A nice stroll is good - sweating like a cheating politician on the rachel maddow show is bad.

I am a stroller (no not a pram). I like strolling. I get criticised for strolling coz she is all about calories whereas I like to stop and watch ants crossing the path and parked cars being towed away as the driver returns. It makes me happy and that itself is a great aid to weight loss.

Do you burn more calories if it's a Beamer?

You sound like the opposite of my hubby. He refuses to go for a walk unless it means we go to the nearest hill and walk up and down X number of times before walking home.

2 week challenge update. Went to the gym for a 40 min spinning class. Tough but fun. Yesterday's workout seems to have pushed me off the plateau because I lost 1.5 lbs. Sweeeet!

With regards to the diet I've been doing really well. Even managed to say no to the ice creams they were tempting us with to get us to walk 7 flights down and all the way to the back of the parking lot for a fire drill today at work.

Yes, also works for Audis.

There is no such thing as not walking properly. Walking a mile at lunch, even if you don't work up a sweat (and I don't think you should) will do wonders for your cardiovascular health if done regularly - I'm a keen lunch time walking advocate. Besides, women don't sweat, they gently glow

I did really well too - a biscuit and a bagel and tiny nibble of english cheese(I know) but still v low calories count cumulative at 5.30pm

Wifey who must be obeyed gets in soon and tea time 6.30

Then the danger time ! The fridge is full of beer

We did finish the rhubarb pie last night though

I could eat a scabby camel - raw - been dead 3 weeks
