3681 steps yesterday.  I still have my goal at 3500 steps so did that but I am really trying to manage 4000 steps and could have done it yesterday but I got involved on a project and lost track of time.  :)

6,273 steps yesterday.

I reset goal from 10,000 steps to 7,000, seems more reasonable at this point. Also adjusted weight down to reflect recent weight loss (though I am slowly regaining some). Probably should readjust step length, but it is too early to deal with that right now...

4250 steps yesterday.  Not too bad and if I can keep it up I may change my goal.  I am working on getting more steps each time I get up and walk.  That is my biggest restriction, I walk for a bit and the muscles just won't go any more.  It used to be about 100 steps max then I had to sit down.  Yesterday I was able to get to 250 steps a couple of times so I seem to be getting stronger.  It does cause some pain but it seems to be improving so I take that as a good sign.

It's surely a good sign.

6,212 steps yesterday. Won't adjust goal up until I am consistently getting over 7,000 steps. Hopefully brace will come off tomorrow and some of this exhaustion will go away as things really get back to normal...

3131 steps yesterday.  Not as much as I was hoping for but I did have sore muscles for some reason.  I'm not going to worry about it and seem to be doing better today.

A surprising 7,635 steps yesterday!  A lot of it was short walks in hopes of not stiffening up after the fall. Seemed to help some, but still pretty sore today.

4181 steps yesterday.  A lot of short walks is how I have to do it now days so it can take up a lot of time but I am getting better at walking for a bit longer at each walk.

You are both doing great. I need to get back to my routine before decay sets in.

Wow! An amazing 8,301 steps yesterday!!

Got lost looking for x-ray in a different part of hospital and then grocery shopping in an unfamiliar grocery store in town really added to the step count! Was exhausted by the time I got home so am not going to push at all today.

4073 steps yesterday.  Even though I am keeping my goal at 3500 I am trying to manage 4000 and so far doing fairly well at that.  I am hoping to maybe get to a bit more as routine.

I wouldn't be surprised if you crossed 10k again. But slowly and steadily, a 1000 at a time.

2670 steps yesterday, not where I want to be but after a good start for the day I developed a pain in my right leg and it really set me back.  So far today I seem to be doing just fine so ? At least it didn't seem to carry over.
