I Walk Whenever I Can

Members Were Sparked

My town is pedestrian friendly. I gather my backpack and take off toward town. In one 4 mile round trip, I can go to the bank, library, post office, drug store, video store, hardware store, craft store, drug store, and grocery store. I exercise, do my errands, using no gas nor polluting the air.

CANNING: A visual aid...

What has been helping me with losing weight is to be able to visualise how much I've lost (and need to go)... To do this I visualise it in terms of cans of coke (or any canned drink)...

Most are 330ml which equates to 330g (in the UK anyway), so it's 3 cans per kg - or if you're using lbs, it's 1lb = 1 and a third cans cans...

So when you 'only' lose just under 1lb in a week, it's quite a lot, when you actually pick up a can. 2lb is 2.5 cans, etc, etc.

Happy canning!
