That's 5 miles. So far so good. One day I walked over 13,000 steps.
Wearing the pedometer makes me want to pick it up a bit.
If I haven't reached my goal during the day, after work I go for a walk in the neighborhood.
I like this old casa. When you drive by you don't notice it much.
Walking by you can see a lot of details.
There is charm,character,cacti and unusual plants growing everywhere. I am drawn to the colors and patina of this home.
Makes for an interesting few thousand steps.
How many steps do you walk in a day?
I have not a clue how many steps I walk. Hmmmmm must find out. Love that casa, fab colors. Love Hugs and Blessings
ReplyDeleteNot as many now, as I used to...I need to get back into that. Bella casa - it would make a great subject for a painting, I think!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely casa! Nice photos, Gemma, and well done to you on all the steps you are taking. I love walking but don't do it as often as I would like.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Gemma! I love that casa. I could live there. I always wanted a home that looked like that.I think when my hubby builds the studio in back, I'm going to have him tile the roof like that. Oh brother that's. Thanks a lot for sharing this casa. How many steps do I walk? I'll tell what, a few years back I used my pedometer and was walking 3 miles a day and because of you, I am going to start using it again, thank you very much.:D Have a great day tomorrow. Your wildman doesn't work in the yard? Did he get laid off? I'm sorry if he did.
ReplyDeleteWalking is so great! What a great house you've showcased!
ReplyDeleteMy I ask what kind of pedometer you have ... I've had several, but don't seem to work well or last long!
What a lovely layout of a home! I want to see inside! Good for you, Gemma, on getting those steps in!
ReplyDeleteI know I don't walk as many steps as you! I do have a pedometer and when I remember to wear it I always seem to walk more than usual....but I usually forget to put it on! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
ReplyDeleteI love that place too. Just so heart warming. The yellow with wine, the multi-colored fence that looks like it's recycled. The cacti and whatever that wonderful tree is.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much I walk. The days I do treadmill that adds 2 miles. I tend to bounce around at work a lot, and that's good.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI meant to thank you for the package you have sent me....I will let you know with it arrives. Very much appreciated ~ xo
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to work out what colors to paint the house (when the time comes) and that's a nice combination. Glad to see your getting exercise, I'm working on the walking myself.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! A great neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteWalking there this time of year must be fun!
Our health care provider came to our workplace and gave us all pedometers, but they were cheap and mine didn't work.
ReplyDeleteMaybe when all the ice and snow melt off the sidewalks.
Good for you Gemma doing the 10,000+ steps. Dr. Oz would be proud of you! I always enjoyed the adventurous walks while I visited AZ..love the structures,cacti,and as you said the character of the houses!I have also been trying to get fit even though the snow falls!
ReplyDeleteHogie encourages me! YOU GO GIRL!! hugs aNNa xo
I love that casa... the colours are magnificent.. I don't know how many steps I walk..you will be very fit my dear Gem-ma
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful casa...it makes me want to come WEst again(which I will) . I don't walk too much , but I sure make up for it by biking all over the place! Miss you.
ReplyDeleteps: Do a painting of that casa ! It would be so awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy hat's off to you, Gemma. I've been walking more recently, but I have no idea how many steps. A pedometer is a good idea. I'm trying on a new lifestyle and it's working - perhaps slowly, but working all the same. I think walking is the best exercise - for me at least.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it when people post photos of their region or town or neighborhood. I always find it interesting to see little details in a particular part of the country/world. Very nice.
Bella
Gorgeous casa and great photos. The butter and bordeaux together look yummy! And of course those cacti look so exotic to my eye. :)
ReplyDeleteI've thought about getting a pedometer to track myself, but I know I'm notorious about not being able to stick to numerical goals. Anything where I have to mark off a number or keep a running tally tends to fall by the wayside after a while. So I don't know how many steps I take, but I know that I'll walk more if it's in a beautiful setting, like the Botanical Gardens or by the nearby lake. :)
