Dear Travellers

Oh my word - the South Korea whistlestop tour was breathtaking. What made it so special was I had no pre-conceived ideas about where the journey would take us. Of course the people and food were the icing on the cake :) :)

Just like you and your own journey, I bet you didn't expect where it would take you and how much you want to keep improving and clocking up more steps.

We are still missing a handful of travellers - hope they check-in with their steps very soon.

If you have a Fitbit, please register on fitbitforsportrelief.com and join the billion step-athon. Fitbit will donate £50,000 for every billion steps.

Tonight we are back on the steamer - favourite cocktails served by George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Idris Elba and Meryl Streep. And I heard on the grapevine that Ricky Martin will make an appearance on the dancefloor :D :D

Tomorrow we head for Japan - ooh I can't wait :)

Happy Travels everyone :D :D

For sure. Sometimes we don't always feel up to things but I find this forum is a great motivator and its light hearted. We are all here for the same purpose...to be healthier...and this is a fun, relaxed way of doing it. It's the first time I've done it using a forum but find it a very pleasant experience and some of the comments are so funny.

I do hope you are feeling brighter today. Do what you can do. The fact you pop on here to log steps or chat shows you are still in a good mindset. Now, go dig out those trainers 😄

in reply to Bu-dog

hi there that's one thing i can say that's kept me going is the friends i've made on here, without there loving support, i don't think i'd be here now. take care Alan

Sorry, was a bit distracted by Seoul - only just made it back to the steamer in time. Had to row a bit, the dragon boat training earlier on our journey helped there. Anyway I walked 12.6 k today. I'll hang around for the cocktails and have a chat with Daniel Craig. Japan should be great - heard a lot about it from my younger son who's a bit of a Japan freak, but never been there myself. Looking forward to the food and a decent sake. Actually thinking about it I'll get my son over for the day, he speaks the lingo (a bit) and he can give us a guided tour.

Our own personal guide! Sounds like a fab idea :)

i don't have a fitbit, but cleaning, decorating and gardening all day again i feel as though I have walked at least 5kms and had a workout in the gym! Maybe I should stop trying to pretend kms/steps until this house moving thing is over?

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to kantara71

That's going to have to be your decision John. How long do you think it's all going to take? We'll miss you :(

Have you got a birthday coming up, so that you can ask for a fitbit ;)

kantara71 profile image
kantara71 in reply to moreless

My birthday is not until August :-( I checked activities against calories burned and it appears that an hour of walking burns slightly less than an hours gardening or an hours housework so could I equate say 3 miles to an hours gardening/decorating/cleaning? Confused :-?

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to kantara71

I would love to say yes to that idea, but this whole challenge is about distances covered. Many people do strength exercises that can't be counted, eg weight training, pilates, yoga etc.

How about trying a cheaper version of the fitbit eg a pedometer. I've never had any success with them, but others use them all the time with no problems at all.

Fitforit75 in reply to kantara71

If you're on your feet and on the move all day you're definitely clocking up kms! :)

What a great night this is going to be 😊

Not wanting this fantastic journey to end.

Todays total is 8.4 km, still not fit to exercise but on the way up slowly. Looking forwards to Japan 😊

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Elissy

Not fit to exercise and 8.4K's seems a pretty incongruous pairing! ;)

Let's hope you're 100% fighting fit for Japan :)

Elissy profile image
Elissy3kg in reply to moreless

But that's just walking to work and back 2x, walking at work and walking at home. So no extra. Still struggling to breathe properly so won't run for a while yet- mind you, this has given my shin the rest it needed 😉😁

2.8-km for me today. Just got back from "after work" drinks - I dread to think how many calories were involved in that...

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Garfield_123

Oh dear Garfield, you should have followed Liz's example and done some running on the spot, to see if you could burn off some of the calories! :)

Garfield_123 profile image
Garfield_123Restart Sept 2023 in reply to moreless

I fear you may be right. I think another run is in order for today to undo some of the damage! The only thing in my defence is that I declined all offers of the chips etc that people had ordered for the table - does that at least score me some brownie points? : )

Really looking forward to Japan. Love the food for one thing. I'll go easy on the cocktails tonight and give the midnight buffet a miss!

What a difference a dry, sunny(half of it) day makes. Stepped out this morning on a mission with two dogs (doggie sitting) and clocked up 6.4 kms. Back out this afternoon on the moor and managed another 7.7kms so total for today 14.1 kms, 21116steps!

I needed these as was out for supper tonight. Only had one course of king prawn linguine. According to my trusty pedometer I have burned 508 calories so will offset these against my meal.

Just got one more night out to plan for. Saturday night....Indian curry....my favourite!

8 km for me today.

My fitbit had been playing up today. doesn't keep its charge so i did walk around for a bit before i realized it had stopped working. ringing customer support tomorrow to complain...😠

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Carpo82

Oh no Carpo! You tell them that if they don't fix it pronto, they'll have Liz and me to deal with! ;)

Great K's though :)

Carpo82 profile image
Carpo82 in reply to moreless

Haha. I've talked to them and they are going to send me a new one:) She logged on to my account and could see that the battery drops very quickly from 50% to empty. She also told me to not charge it using a wall plug, only charge from a computer. So that might be the reason. But in my defence it does not say anywhere not to use a wall plug...

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Carpo82

It'll be a standard reply, made to look like it's your fault. If you'd been charging via a computer, she'd have said you should have been using a wall plug :D

Carpo82 profile image
Carpo82 in reply to moreless

Actually she never said it was my fault, but requested that I charge it from my computer from now on. So when I get the new one that's what I will do.

The battery never lasted as long as they stated though. They said 7-10 days. It lasted 3 days on the first charge...

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Carpo82

I've never had a laptop that's stayed charged as long as they've promised either! Maybe it's us! :D

Carpo82 profile image
Carpo82 in reply to moreless

Haha. Always had the same problem, but my work laptop has a 9 hour battery life. I've had it about a year now and it still keeps its charge... I think in my case it will be the amount of money I'm willing to spend on technology. I don't even want to know how much this laptop cost my company. I use it for all my computer needs now. My old personal laptop I don't even know where it is anymore, lol

5.8km today as back on nights; which is shame as I've been enjoying my extra exercise at the gym.

Hopefully walking the dog tomorrow will clock up some more steps.

Still a good number though Ruth and I'm sure you'll come up with great ways to increase it :)

Thursday = 2.8kms for me.

Really not feeling well have still got a chest infection after 3 months and 3 courses of antibiotics and steroids. Started on 4th course of antibiotics and steroids today because my dr has said my chest xray is showing infection still present and fluid on my lungs. In so much pain and fed up with it all. Sorry for moaning I will shut up right now!!

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to veganista

Oh veganista, no wonder you're moaning, anybody would be after such a horrible time :(

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this and am sending you healing vibes and good wishes.

Take extra special care of yourself and we'll all keep our fingers crossed that this lot of antibiotics and steroids will do the trick :)

Ok I have now registered my fitbit!

Yesterday I did 2.2km. Waiting for health and energy to return.

Apologies for short message am somewhat distracted by Mr Elba applying vics to my chest and mopping my fevered brow with a chilled flannel. Oh there are some benefits to the infections of the century. :-)

Hi all. 10.6k for Thursday. Off to see friends today and a bit concerned about what will be on the menu when eating out. Guess I can try to eat the fish and leave the batter? (They love their Friday fish and chips!) Would love to have some healthy sushi when we are in Japan. :)

I think I've posted this on and old thread, thats what happens when you go on compoooooters at two in the morning.

1:5k on a tread mill its not a lot of fun, cycling is much more exciting, Now its tipping it down and there is no point in going out just to get wet. So back on bike with no wheels going no place. I've got bike in front of telly so I can keep up with Bradley Wiggins on his hour record, should be a fun.
