Dear Travellers,

Well done to everyone for reaching Day 40 of this challenge. We are amazing :) :)

After we spent the morning walking on the Great Wall of China, we visited the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and of course the Panda house at Beijing Zoo.

Now we are back on the steamer and enjoying a massage and a pedicure.

Tonight Ricky is back on the dancefloor and his backing singers are serving your favourite cocktails. So its time to shake your Bon Bon like you have never done before :D :D

Happy Travels everyone :) :)

They have a different meaning in the 'Urban dictionnary' - I think I'll stick with your meaning. :-)

Evening fellow travellers

I'm really enjoying this wonderful journey with you lovely people. I must have been encouraged more than usual today as I have pedaled 13.4 km this evening on my exercise bike 😀. I have also taken the stairs at work 4 times today (3 floors, 9 flights I think)! My steps today are 2694.

Nearly Thursday already, where has the week gone?

Nic 😀

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to nickynoo77

Oh my, I'd so like to be near the 11's :) I'm hoping for the 14's for Sueper's challenge and that's pushing things! :)

nickynoo77 in reply to moreless

Yeeees, it's working 😉

Ahem, sorry, got carried away there 😃

Back in the land of living, but still exhausted. Made it through work but won't do anything strenuous yet as chest still bad.

Managed 7.4 km along the amazing wall of China.

Tired out, so will enjoy watching you shake your Bon Bons while I have a cocktail 🍸😁

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Elissy

7.4K's sounds pretty impressive, considering you have a bad chest Elissy :)

Not impressive if you saw my speed 😃

My goodness. What a day! What a day! China is amazing- but can hardly believe we are at the half way mark oh my goodness I need to put much more effort in!!!

I'm so lucky I'm not bothered about Ricky since there is no way of getting to him past everyone else! Guess I'll just stay here with Idris Elba, chilling...

😍

Oh yes it's 10.1km from me today

😀

I used your calculation formula converting steps- adding up those steps covered without changing your GPS position makes a big difference, apparently :) :) :)

Popping in very late to report 22.53kms of cycling between home and 2 jobs and back home again. Knackered now! I'll happily take you up on that massage and pedicure! Not sure I'm up to any dancing though 😔

Great number Ruth 😊

in reply to Elissy

Thanks Elissy. That was my first cycle commute to work in about 2 weeks and it nearly did me in! Still recovering from weird phantom bug that just seems to make me feel exhausted - not quite 100% better, but nearly. Hope you're feeling better soon too. These annoying bugs definitely affects the ks! :)

Take it easy, Ruth. Yes, its the exhaustion afterwards everyone I know is suffering from. Was hoping it wouldn't last quite that long though.

Thanks :-) It was less impressive when I was struggling up a hill on my bike in the dark last night (lesson learnt - just don't go that way again until summer) but I felt pretty good afterwards.

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Lexi_1812

Woohoo Lexi! I'm wondering what you're eating, because I'm sure you're jet propelled! :D

Lexi_1812 profile image
Lexi_18122 stone in reply to moreless

Tonight, shepherd's pie! Mmm...looking forward to it already!

Lots of carbs (including vegetables) the rest of the time - I know there is a push towards low carb high fat but it wouldn't work for me. I've lost weight since October by reducing the portion size of those carb-heavy meals (I had to buy kitchen scales!) and cutting out junk food - take those away and my diet is very similar to before I started on the 12 week (now week 19!) plan.

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Lexi_1812

I was thinking more along the lines of cabbage + beans = methane = jet propulsion :D

That's great lekpame, but you do realise that you need to log on to the latest thread, every day, to give us your totals for the day :)

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the late reply here, had a very long and busy day.

I recorded 40km yesterday.

2km cross-trainer

35km spin class

3km run

I also did a mini gym session after but I don't have a step counter so can't add those in.

Hope everyone had a good day! :)
