Me & My Pedometer

When at my meeting on the 3rd of April, after a talk with our leader about moving more, and a little healthy competition with my sister I purchased the weight watchers pedometer.  (25% off too, i love a bargain)

I set myself on a mini mission to move more and came home full of determination to make a point of losing my terrible gain. 

Thursday morning I made sure I had my pedometer attached as I went to work. I have always assumed being at work that I wouldnt generate many AP (Activity Points).  I have always viewed myself as having a desk job and not moving much, so was really surprised when i got home to realise I had earned 3 AP by the end of the day.

The most surprising day was Monday, we were off work and decided to have a bit of a spring clear out, mixed in with a little DIY, you know all the jobs you never get round to doing or finishing.  I never stopped all day, added in with a 30 minute extra activity gave me an extra 6 AP for the day.

Here is a copy of my week in easy view.

 

 

I am not sure of the activity points i earned had anything to do with my 5lb loss but it has encouraged me to walk more.  I plan to get out more this week too, once I am back to work I hope to include a little more walking into my week.  All will keep me in good training for the Race for Life in July.

 

Today is the first day I havnt worn it and I have missed the motivation it adds, sad as some may think that is, while wearing it I have been wanting to do more knowing it will add up on the pedometer.  I have no intention of using the extra AP earned but its nice to see it build up.
