#FitReaders Check in

#FitReaders is hosted by The Geeky Blogger and That's What I'm Talking About. 

This week has been warm and humid and it doesn't make for walking.  I got out though most days around 8 or 9 am before it heated up too much, although the sun had heat in it even then.

Saturday: Was a rest day and got very few steps in!

Sunday through Friday I walked 40 to 45 minutes a day.  Some days I reached my goal for steps and some days a little more or a little less. I find I have to do some walking somewhere later in the day - like the beach or the shops to get it up there.

So long as I get about 5000 steps though into the next two days I will meet my weekly goal  of 

52 500 in a week.   A good week.

#FitReaders Weekly Check In

#FitReaders is hosted by The Geeky Blogger and That's What I'm Talking About.  It's such a great idea and the idea is growing out there more and more in the readers' blogging world.

This last week I had a very good week and walked every day since last check in.  I need to do that because now that I no longer 'go to work' I don't get many steps in unless I set time aside to go pound the pavement.  Somehow today I did something funny to my fitbit and it seemed to have lost some steps, but anyway I seem to be okay when I synced awhile ago.  Pretty much made my goal steps for the week.  I am listening to The Rosie Effect as I walk.

I also added in one day where I did some lawn mowing and gardening - all good exercise.  And Friday I even went for my first summer swim at the beach.  I should have ventured down before this but when there is a friend to go with that's added incentive. Now that I've had a taste I must get my little cheap bodyboard out and go ride in some waves - if I can find them.  There were none Friday, too calm.  

By the way I am loving my new swimsuit. The best ever - so easy to get on and off and looks good, so no longer going to feel self conscious getting into the water!

I've been looking for a few years now for something like this and then an advertisement in a mag I rarely buy gave me the where to buy.  So happy!  I linked the pic to the website in case anyone else is like me and wants to cover up a little!  Sun wise its a good idea too.
