The exercise may build a bit of muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat for the same size, it may seem like there has been no change. However, there should eventually be a reduction in size if not weight. Also, I'm told that muscle also burns more calories, so eventually it should result in the desired lower numbers.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-83566976732632281762013-11-18T17:50:55.308+00:002013-11-18T17:50:55.308+00:00Dear Jean - I am sure you meant Twenty Fourteen fo...Dear Jean - I am sure you meant Twenty Fourteen for the wedding...otherwise not many of us will be around to hear about it :).Ruth in Ontario, Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-72753776903993530492013-11-18T15:57:34.514+00:002013-11-18T15:57:34.514+00:00Well done on the walk!

It's too bad Archie wasn't well enough for his visits but it's wise to be cautious. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the Princess on Lucy.FiberQathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524481267771726089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-42705962704335786132013-11-18T09:39:55.395+00:002013-11-18T09:39:55.395+00:00Hello Jean,
Good job on your walk! I know the fee...Hello Jean, <br />Good job on your walk! I know the feeling of getting a personal best on the pedometer. My company participates each year in the Global Corporate Challenge (gettheworldmoving.com). The main point is to move more than you were, but they recommend 10,000 steps a day for health. An office worker that drives to work and doesn't do any other exercise does about 3000 steps a day (I can confirm that :) ). The key is to set a daily (or weekly average) target that is appropriate for you, and if you haven't reached it by a certain time, go for a walk up the street and back. It is also possible to march on the spot while ironing and washing dishes. Anyway the pedometer is a great stimulus and as the Dutch say "meten is weten" literally measuring is knowing or the numbers tell the tale.<br />Regarding your weightloss when you stop drinking cider, I wonder if it is fluid loss. It seems quite a lot to lose in a short space of time, perhaps you retain water when you drink cider.<br />All the best<br />DawnDawn in NLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189050640379340589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-63376362707881040972013-11-18T09:19:31.151+00:002013-11-18T09:19:31.151+00:00Thanks for this, and for Mary Lou's above.

If I buy a new computer today -- I'm meeting Archie in the John Lewis computer dept at 12:30 -- I will spend the extra money to have a Nice Young Man from John Lewis come here and transfer and configure.

(i actually had purchased win 7 pro this summer to update from win 7 home). <br /><br />i finally relented (the 10yo laptop i was using was really painful) and after much searching found a good deal at B* B* and trekked over there on Friday - i immediately upgraded to win 8.1 and following the instructions (google for "start win 8.1 from desktop which shows you how to avoid the METRO touch desktop). i have to say that i am happy with this purchase. i got 1tb drive and 8gb RAM - as such its the most powerful PC i have had as a home machine . <br /><br />of course its been two and a half days of reinstalling and configuring endlessly (but i have a lot of programs) however, all is smooth. <br /><br />good luck with your purchase!<br />Southern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704854973003741122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-81779606139170111212013-11-17T14:26:05.013+00:002013-11-17T14:26:05.013+00:00I must say I took a look at the ad on page 77 and ...I must say I took a look at the ad on page 77 and got an idea.
