Weight-Loss
Wednesday 10/05/17........... 3,087 steps - I said my steps were abysmal that day - it was a bad day with conflict, stress and emotional eating....
Thursday 11/05/17.............. 14,622 steps
Friday 12/05/17.................. 15,588 steps
Saturday 13/05/17............... 14,656 steps
Sunday 14/05/17................. 14,413 steps - my Sunday steps were actually better than this... I didn't wear a pedometer in the morning when I did my dance exam which included performances in 9 dances - cha cha, jive, samba, rumba, paso doble, waltz, tango, saunter, two step.
Monday 15/05/17................ 16,279 steps
 
Sunday 14/05/17 ..... 20,132 - I signed up to the MeetUp app and found a walking group in London. We have a nice ~ nearly 10 mile walk. It was great; I met some cool people and see the stunning views of hampstead heaf - Parliament Hill and Kenwood House.

Monday 15/05/17 .... 10,228 - I think I went for a run on that day.
Tuesday 16/05/17 .... 7,465 (you can see I lacked the run) - however I do go and join the gym.
Wednesday 17/05/17 .... 17,487 - it was my birthday; I had a nice 3-4mile walk to the doughnut shop so I could feed the office. Hopefully worked off my one doughnut in this walk (and more). I also went to the gym for my induction
Thursday 18/05/17 .... 7,129 - I had meetings and production issues all day; again I lacked the run but I was aching from the gym :(
Friday 19/05/17 .... 9,734 - Went home to see my parents for my birthday.
Saturday 20/05/17 .... 4,127 - Abysmal steps; had a little party with my family (sat down, had some drinks and ate BBQ food).
Sunday 21/05/17 .... 1,080 - My fitbit run out of charge and I forgot to bring charger home.
Monday 22/05/17 .... 0 - As above.
Tuesday 23/05/17 .... 0 - As above (will return back to my London flat so I can recharge).
 
Happy birthday.

The walking group sounds fun. There are some lovely parks to walk in round London. Kenwood is nice too - been there a few times.
Is your flat in central London? My husband was born in Twickenham so I spent about half my life in and around west London.

Well done for having your gym induction. You really are well into the swing of your project.

My week has been very poor... I've been full of cold and it has robbed me of my motivation plus it's been my husband's birthday - and things havent been normal as my mother has been in rehab - she just got home today...

Here are the step counts for what they are worth

Tuesday 16/05/17................ 15,456 steps
Wednesday 17/05/17........... 15,788 steps
Thursday 18/05/17.............. 8,270 steps
Friday 19/05/17.................. 14,004 steps
Saturday 20/05/17............... 10,862 steps
Sunday 21/05/17................. 1,769 steps

The only good news is that I got my results and passed my dance exams with honours... It means that I've passed the highest amateur Latin dance qualification and know I could join a dance school and teach if I wanted to... I don't want to - but its nice to know I have succeeded in my challenge to achieve that.

Wow your steps are nothing but great (of course Sunday was low but your allowed a day off!) and considering you are feeling under the weather too!

Congratulations on passing your exams; that's great news. Now you can teach me a thing or too about shaking my hips and moving my legs to a beat :D

I hope you get better soon and also wish your husband a great birthday!

P.S. Yes i'm in central London @ Wapping - near Tower Bridge.
 
Hopefully my steps will be a bit better tomorrow - but today has been poor too.
Tuesday night there is dancing so if I am well enough to go I will do quite a few steps just by being there...

You would be a super dancer if you gave it a go. My friends include lots of wonderful dancers that teach out of London - so there is a great dance scene there... If you once start dancing you would probably never stop......

Rod's still celebrating his birthday - I think that he always believes that celebrations should last for the whole month.

Spent all day yesterday at home working - weather was lovely but tried to avoid that heat so I didn't get burnt.

It may be the same today. Maybe i'll find some time to go out for a little walk or maybe go to the gym.

Had an exercise class and salsa on Tuesday - and more salsa on Friday.

Saturday ...... will be low. I'm at home doing work and washing.

Not really as focused on walking as much as I used to be when I started. I do like to still do my walking and jogging however I usually do this at the gym (which is reflected in my step count. This week was Monday, Tuesday and Friday.

My weekends have become really rubbish for e; I need to get out but just haven't been motivated or I have been busy.
 
Saturday 03/06/17............... lost data - well in excess of 14,000 steps - I was dancing in Yarm
Sunday 04/06/17................. lost data - well in excess of 14,000 steps - I was dancing in Penrith
Monday 05/06/17................ 14,413 steps
Tuesday 06/06/17................ 14,713 steps
Wednesday 07/06/17........... 14,777 steps
Thursday 08/06/17.............. 14,835 steps
Friday 09/06/17.................. 14,133 steps
Saturday 10/06/17............... 8,372 steps
Sunday 11/06/17................. 5,211 steps

Its been an odd time since I last posted... My steps were brilliant on the Saturday and Sunday where I lost the data - I honestly didn't realise that it was so long since I last posted here and my pedometer only keeps data for 7 days... My stepcounts could easily have been 19,000+ on the two days where I lost data as they were busy days with walking and a lot of dancing...

On Friday we evicted a tenant - and got word that another tenant was leaving in a fortnight (tenants there both lost their jobs so can no longer afford to live there) - so we are doing a lot of work linked to our properties.

The tenant which we evicted was at a pair of flats we own and the other flat there has been on hold after the departure of the previous tenant - so that is like two properties needing work at the same time.

We are needing to work on two properties and have meetings and start marketing a third - all at the same time.

Since properties which are let bring us our income - and properties which are not let cost us money for things like council tax and utilities - sorting out properties has become our top priority. I've been busy with properties all day - but my stepcount is poor and I cannot be bothered to get on the treadmill...
 
Poor stepcount... mine must be abysmal then :p

Your stepcount is certainly not abysmal - mine continues to be though...

My week has been plagued with poor stepcounts and exhaustion. I've been cleaning, decorating, gardening and organizing things all week. Only went out dancing once - we've just been too tired...

Trip to Paris starts here
Tue 27/06/17 ... 16,087
Wed 28/06/17 ... 25,539 and 55 floors climbed. Damn elevator in Arc de Triomphe was broken :p
Thu 29/06/17 ... 18,371 and 44 floors climbed apparently a over 1000 steps down and 1000 steps back up in the Paris Catacombs. Fortunately we weren't able to walk the full 300 mile tunnels, only a small section - I'd have passed out otherwise :D especially after waiting in the queue for 4 hours.
Fri 30/06/17 ... 10,652
Sat 01/07/17 ... Pending

Returned to London
 
Excellent steps!

While you've been to Paris - I've been to London... Mine was just boring and busy - not a holiday... We had to be there (Twickenham) as some building work was done where it could be predicted there would be problems... There were problems which we could only resolve by being there - so it wasn't a wasted 600 mile drive and 2 nights in a hotel...

We are still crazy busy at properties up here too - another property check out this week in Durham - so that's more work... We haven't sorted out all the work at the recent Northumberland eviction yet... That needs to get finished by Monday though as the Northumberland estate agent says that someone has asked to view...

No dancing all week! Just too busy and then too tired!

Tuesday 27/06/17................. 5,205 steps
Wednesday 28/06/17........... 4,994 steps
Thursday 29/06/17.............. 5,988 steps
Friday 30/06/17.................. 4,518 steps
 
Continued to be very busy with minimal steps - no dancing - but I will be dancing this weekend as there is a major event and we will take a few days out and attend it as per normal. Steps should be up over the weekend... :)

Saturday 01/07/17............... 3,918 steps
Sunday 02/07/17................. 7,042 steps
Monday 03/07/17................ 6,260 steps
Tuesday 04/07/17................. 4,271 steps
Wednesday 05/07/17........... 3,851 steps
 
It's becoming apparent now how much you gain from dancing. Maybe I should look into investing in an activity that I will enjoy like dancing to get me moving more. Hope you have a good weekend, let us know how it goes.
