Around the world in 80 days - Please post your steps/kms/miles for Friday 12 February (Part 1)

Dear Travellers

We live in such a wonderful world The places we have visited are extraordinarily beautiful and the people are so welcoming. Today we are in Palau, one of the Micronesia Islands. Word of the day is snorkelling - the coral reef is breathtaking. Lots of colourful fish and clear, calm waters. And you might even see a Palau turtle

On the beach this afternoon, there will be hula dancing lessons. Grass skirts and conch shell bras provided

Happy Travels everyone

17.9 km today and I am not taking another step away from the bar, because I'm knackered. A 25 min run this morning (love C25k) and my long walk back from work this evening. Oh and a bit of snorkeling. Such beautiful fish, they came and nibbled at my fingers. Happy travelling everybody!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Fantastic JC, you've certainly earned your bar stool this evening

[Zest Healthy BMI]

Hi Lizzy, Moreless & Everyone,

I did 3km of steps today - I think I've pulled my back slightly - didn't even do anything drastic, just noticed a twinge when getting out of bed this morning...!

Think I need to look for some back stretching exercises!

Hope everyone is having a great evening.

Lowcal

[LessToLose 4lbs in reply to Zest]

Uh-oh, time for a massage, I think. I hope it gets better quickly.

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to LessToLose]

Yes, massage sounds like a good idea!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Zest]

On no Lowcal! Poor you! I really feel for you

Stretching exercises sound like a great idea and for goodness sake, don't go overdoing it.

Take care, we can be a pair of crocks together

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to moreless]

Thanks Moreless,

[sueper]

3.4 km for me today

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to sueper]

Well done Sueper

[Marianne0915]

Evening my kms today are 1.73 Had a lazy day, really enjoyed the grass skirt hula dancing, not too sure if I like the coconut bra !!

[LessToLose 4lbs in reply to Marianne0915]

I can't find coconuts big enough

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to LessToLose]

LOL! Me neither LtL, I'm leaning more towards water melons!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Marianne0915]

Good for you Marianne

It's all a bit scratchy, methinks

[Marianne0915 in reply to moreless]

Scratchy indeed, I might try ordinary melons! Bit jealous about the water melon suggestion moreless.

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Marianne0915]

Oh don't be jealous Marianne, it's just one of my fat storing places, when I get to target weight, I shall be looking at eggshells!

[Marianne0915 in reply to moreless]

Ok, Ill dream about eggshells as well.

[Hidden]

6.8 miles from me today. Walked the dogs but very cold today. Had a PT session that warmed me up. Love snorkelling.

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hidden]

Great stuff Florence

[Hidden]

10km today and now I'm ready for more hula 🌴🌴🌴

😇

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hidden]

Fantastic Flossie, you hula away

[Hidden]

I LOOOVE! turtles! Have been all over today and did a Pilates class, 8.1 km which is good for me. Making a cake for nephew though and been licking spoons!!

[LessToLose 4lbs in reply to Hidden]

I am sure there are no calories on those spoons, anyway!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hidden]

It must have been baking day today, I've been making a ginger cake with my granddaughter

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to moreless]

Yummy, I love the taste of ginger!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Zest]

Me too and I even had a mouthful of the cake, just to test it of course!

[Hidden]

Me too. Great ks for today. Did you manage to clock any for Weds and Thurs?

[henlady]

8.5km. Hope there is lots of grass in those skirts and there are some big coconuts

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to henlady]

Good show henlady

I believe several acres have been mowed and there are some watermelons for the fuller figure!

[LessToLose 4lbs]

I love the beautiful turtle, I hope he doesn't end up in dinner, like yesterday's crabs!

I reached 19kms and decided to go around the block to get it over 20, so now my total is 20.39kms.

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to LessToLose]

I know what you mean LtL, I was gutted about Colin

There's just no stopping you now!

[Saga66 4lbs]

8967 today. What size do they grow conch shells to? Double doors for me please!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Saga66]

Great steps and great humour Saga!

[Hidden]

[Hidden]

4.8km for me today. I pledge to achieve 10000 steps each day over half term- I've been struggling to do this over the last few weeks with work. Watch this space!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hidden]

We certainly will Phil and keep our fingers crossed for you and shake our pom poms

You've been managing good numbers despite work though

[Hidden]

Hello, I think I had posted up until Tuesday this week so now I am back from sunny Tenerife. Much easier to go out walking when the sun is shining.

Wednesday - 7.6 km

Thursday - 11.47 km

Friday - 3 km

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much for the update 20voices, I hope you had a truly splendiferous holiday

[Hidden in reply to moreless]

Thank you. It has helped.

Not weighed myself yet, hoping that I at least haven't gained anymore weight.

Legs still white, but I always use P20 which is great even on my fair easily burnt skin.

Now to keep up the walking now I am back home.

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hidden]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your weigh-in, but normally any holiday weight gain is soon lost again

My legs are always white, because they never see the light of day!

Yup, keep up that walking, even if it requires an extra layer of clothing!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi 20voices - how did you get on at the weekend? Any kms clocked up for Sat and Sun?

[Prin]

Morning 8.5km for me today mainly walking round airport terminals - and a walk to the Trevi fountain just breathtaking xx

[Hidden in reply to Prin]

Lucky you! Enjoy!

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Prin]

Fantastic Prin, we're all green with envy!

[Hidden in reply to Prin]

Hope the weather is as good as I had last weekin Tenerife.
