I then went for a long walk with my dog after downloading a new app for my Blackberry. It's called Endomondo and it's a personal trainer app. I really need to get a bit fitter and plus I need a weight loss boost. Due to a heart condition I can't do any vigorous exercise but I can walk and this app uses GPS and your stats (height&weight etc) to tell you how far you've walked, speed and calories burnt etc. I ended up walking 5 miles because it tells you when you reach each mile and after each one I thought I'll just do one more... I was so proud of myself when I got in as I honestly didn't think I'd get that far! And it burnt over 500 calories!!! So chuffed!
