It's not rocket science, is it? We all know that being active burns calories. So why was I so surprised to find out that yesterday, having been shopping in both Leeds and York city centres, I covered a total distance of 4.32 miles, took 8564 steps and burned 490 cals. That's not even including the walk I did with the dog in the morning. 490 calories! That's enough to have another dinner! However, I shall be good, and take the weight loss instead of the dinner!The piccy is Leeds bus station. I have never driven, and have consequently always been quite active in the past. In fact the walking around I did yesterday wasn't a lot compared to how I used to be once, always scurrying round all over the place, taking buses and trains here and there, belting it along to the station if I was late. Could I be on the road to recapturing that? Hope so!
Sounds good - I love pics of the places people have been of their day and of the journey involved - keep them coming!
ReplyDeletegreat job on the walking!
ReplyDeleteTa guys - I shall be having another day like that soon!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely a California girl, but this afternoon, as I walked from my house around the corner to the bank, I thought about how much I like being close enough to walk and found myself wishing I lived somewhere like NYC where you can literally walk everywhere you need to go. That's just not possible here in Southern Cali!
ReplyDeleteYou have all that sunshine though Karen!! My York is Old York (the one in the UK!) and we're lucky enough to have the option of walking and taking public transport in most places here, although it is starting to change. I might have to get that driving licence one day ...!
