We can do this, karousel! Sitting on this ball is great! I've been doing a hula-hoop motion most of the time. Sometimes just wiggling side to side but MOVING!

move more eat less!
this should be my new motto.
going to go for a walk shortly. It has been too hot to go and humid.
I need a shower so who cares if I get hot and sweaty.
good luck all!

I spent two hours cleaning and rearranging my garage today. This evening I went shopping and made sure to walk the entire store aisle by aisle just to get that extra movement. I've been wearing my pedometer and love to see how many steps I've been racking up!

Way to go, karousel! I used to have a pedometer; it was a cheapie and registered steps every time I moved. Turned me off of the whole idea but when they work I bet it's helpful to get a visual of your accomplishment.

I'm getting a kick out of rolling my butt around on this ball as I compute!

My pedometer works great, has different pace settings that can be changed to the kind of walk you're doing. It even keeps track of the past 7 days worth of steps. Wonderful when you can't remember things!

I can just imagine the core work you're doing. No longer sitting in front of the computer. Now it's exercising in front of the computer.

Bizi good that you're walking and then drinking low carb drinks!

Finally remembered to weigh before breakfast. Holding steady at 135. Tonight was the first time in over a week I've eaten after 10pm. And it was out of pure boredom.

I'm still using the ball as a computer chair, and walking/jogging as much as half a mile almost every day.
