5,487 steps yesterday. I took it really easy and yet was surprised at the count for the day.

After thinking about the drive to the dr on Monday, I decided to make a quick trip out today to pay a couple bills I picked up at PO and a run to drug store for more test strips. The 40 min drive one way to dr is going to be hard on my knee so doing this today will lessen time driving on Monday.

A surprising 7,033 steps yesterday. Short trip out made my knee hurt. Got a call from the drug store that I had left my debit card in the machine...dang again?! Will pick it up Monday on the way to the dr appointment. Knee was just too sore to go back out again yesterday... Today will be a take it easy day in prep for tomorrow, so far knee OK.

Took it really easy yesterday. 4,058 steps total. Knee felt good all day, no pain. So far today, no pain yet...

I decided yesterday afternoon I was not going to drive up to town tomorrow for gastro appointment. Stressing over the drive was making me feel sick, plus my eyes are definitely getting worse and the long drive was not what I wanted to do. Rescheduled for June.

I also went downtown yesterday by the local train. That involves a lot of walking and climbing up and down stairs to the platforms and then there was about a km walk to the office that I was to visit. Luckily my timings were off peak hours both ways.

My watch/phone steps are not calibrated. I need to go into Settings and adjust my stride. I get very low distance readings even with a large number of steps.
