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!

Zest Healthy BMI 9 years ago 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

Uh-oh, time for a massage, I think. I hope it gets better quickly.
Reply (1)Report
Yes, massage sounds like a good idea!
Reply (0)Report
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

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 !!
Reply (2)Report
I can't find coconuts big enough
Reply (2)Report
LOL! Me neither LtL, I'm leaning more towards water melons!

Good for you Marianne
It's all a bit scratchy, methinks
Reply (1)Report
Scratchy indeed, I might try ordinary melons! Bit jealous about the water melon suggestion moreless.
Reply (1)Report
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!
Reply (1)Report
Ok, Ill dream about eggshells as well.

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

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.

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 9 years ago Thanks so much for the update 20voices, I hope you had a truly splendiferous holiday
Reply (2)Report
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 9 years ago 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!
