I have a York Fitness pedometer, and it goes OK as long as you check reasonably often. There's a little knob next to the battery that allows you to calibrate it, and now that I know about it I will check it once a month.
Amy I think you should get one - you'd be surprised how much you walk over the course of a day.
I'm way off track with food - ever since I saw 69.something on the scales I seem to have gone stupid. I'm also very tired, physically, from work and have several niggly injuries. I think it's time for a holiday because I woke up this morning feeling really resentful that I have to go to work over Easter while everyone else I know has a long weekend.
But for now I will just toughen up and get on with trying to lose the next few kilos. It is true that it's harder to lose when you're close to goal, but I just need to find 'stubborn Ani' and get on with it.
So today's goals are:
• Eat no more than 1650 calories - and I don't CARE if it's Easter and there are chocolate easter eggs everywhere - I'm not going to eat them!
• Drink 2.4 litres of water, because I feel dehydrated and my system could do with a decent 'flush'.
• Walk 10,000 steps (well that will happen by the time I have been at work a few hours), and then do it again!
• Find a positive attitude to take to work - at least if I fake it I might find 'happy Ani' somewhere inside me.
• FORGET about stupid, inaccessible women who play with me for their own amusement.
Hey Amy - do you know who has made the finale on The Biggest Loser? I do
