Hi Tokidoki, it's great to have you join us. Well done for getting back on track!
Izzy, I've been missing Tops too, not sure if he's away?
I've been told that 10000 steps is a good number to aim for. I think 2000 steps is considered sedentary. I seem to be averaging about 7000. My job let's me down because I spend so much time in the car, or sitting by the computer. I'm trying to compensate by going berserk on my days off and in the evenings, but I don't know if it's going to be sustainable when the novelty rubs off.
Having said that, I'm not sure that just measuring steps is a good enough measure, because it doesn't really show your actual activity level, for example, I spent a lot of energy cleaning the bathroom floor and that gave me no steps at all! I think a better way would be to measure how much time I spend sitting down, but I'm not sure how I could easily keep a record of that.
Hope everyone has a good day today.
