    You can use a pedometer or if you are walking outside you can use google maps to determine the distance. Although I am not sure how well google maps calculates for indian roads! Check if your phone has pedometer app.

    If you dont want to invest in a pedometer, you can simply walk at a moderately fast pace for 13-14 mins and consider it as 1 mile. I think this is the best option instead of spending money on fancy gadgets which lose their accuracy very quickly.

    Zingy, I was being lazy and was skipping the application of sunscreen. And now I have to bear the brunt!! My arms, legs, back is tanned. But I guess I will recover in winter. I am being extra cautious now and applying sunscreen without fail. I have to do the same in Hawaii.

    Zingy, shanvy, Not been able to achieve the "PERFECT" beach body I long for, but I feel comfortable in a bikini now. I have graduated from wearing my one piece swim suit to 2 piece bikini. :) Makes me happy!! By next summer, I hope to achieve perfect beach body. ;-)

    I had my annual check up today and the doctor asked me to skip blood work test. She said your last years results are excellent and your diet and exercise pattern looks perfect. I felt so proud!! :)

    Hello,
    I walked 2 miles daily since the last three days and so 6 miles in 3 days.I think of increasing it to 3 miles from next week but since it is the first week of school for kids i don;t know.Will surely try it.
