Peacock, I can imagine that everything will be lifting if you have to keep walking up thirteen floors. That's the way to do it, that walk must be as good as a session of step aerobics any day.
Was just thinking of Carol and just noticed the post above yours. It says she's walked a mile and is off for another one. WHere has the girl gone, is she still walking? I miss her. Come back Carol

Finally i did some exercise just 2mls yesterday, but a start

I am still walking up 13 floors morning and evening! Lifts still not fixed!

well my dogs will love you all forever ! reading about you all being so active itook them for a very brisk walk round yhe football pitches .This will have to do me as i am only allowed to walk or swim due to a dodgy spine but thanks all for making me feel guilty and thanks from benjy and cleo too {the dogs}

bye for now linus

Hey if the lift was working I wouldn't be walking up the stairs!! I moaned enough going down the stairs for our 1 am fire alarm session! One thing though, it has stopped me nipping out to Sainsbury's for a little something (usually fattening). Believe me when you know you hae to walk up 13 flights you have to be really desperate to pop out for a little something!

A doctor will probably tell you that a brisk walk is just as good as all the other exercises. My last doctor encouraged my walking. I do enjoy it but wish I had a dog to walk. My mum said she used to walk miles with the pram but a I do not have a baby or a pram. When the weather is better I shall go back to walking in the parks around here. There is quite a bit of green space in West London.

peacock ill lend you my dogs and ill give you my kids unfortunatly at 11 and 14 there a bit big for the pram but believe me half an hour of cheek and attitude and youll chase them for hours i had ben told walking would help started off really well but gave up real quick only good thing was didn,t take ciggies so could,nt stop for one hope the lifts fixed soon call them and tell them your going to the court for human rights if they don,t fix it cause it certainly sounds like torture to me
bye

The lift is fixed! It was fixed last night. However I think that is a bad idea. I walked up one flight today at work and seem to have reverted back to being a puffing billy. I was going to walk down this morning but a lift came too quick. However, as it takes a while usually for the lift to come I may try walking down in future. Yeah right!

how about a compromise Peacock? 7 flights lift and 6 on foot? i can just picture your face

Walked just over another 2mls yesterday

My face would be beetroot red and wet with sweat!

Walked 3mls yesterday and today

Not uphill and upstairs I bet! (beat you! wonder how many miles those damn stairs were!!)

I hope the scenery was nice. Nothing worse than chocking on car fumes when you are walking along or dodging sputum and worse!

ah-ha on a treadmill and yes..hillclimbing not as bad as stairs though

Curves and walking with dogs for me again today. One lady at curves tonight was very energetic on the recovery stations, like very aerobic, hands and legs all over the place, she made me feel knackered watching her, I just jog on the spot. Maybe that's why I'm fat and she was a skinny minnie

Chris maybe she was an air traffic controller

Justed walked another 3mls that makes a total of 13mls since Sunday

3 more miles this morning
