5,362 steps yesterday.

Got my new scale yesterday. Weighed myself this AM first thing, 124.3#, a little worrisome, losing weight again...

3637 steps yesterday.  I am having the opposite problem.  For some reason after I got out of the hospital I have gained about 10 pounds and I don't know why.  The only thing that has changed is that I can't walk as much as I used to so maybe that is the difference but I don't really know.

I certainly haven't been walking much lately either, but seems to be going in the opposite direction. I am kind of afraid of slowly wasting away! Seems overkill, but I have never worried about losing too much weight before!

7,963 steps yesterday!

Have to admit some of it was pacing, looking out the window for neighbor to come and bring in the kitty kibble. It was snowing most of the day and I really wanted the food inside. He didn't come until almost 5PM.

The Chewy box was a mess! Both cases if wet food were broken open, one can was even open! Many were dented. I was really disappointed. This is the box that was in Sacramento 4 days then Salt Lake City 2 days before getting to MT. They must have kicked it here!

At least I was able to unload the cans a few at a time and save neighbor from bringing all that inside too.

3093 steps yesterday.  Another day of wasting my time doing computer stuff before I realized what my problem was.  Some times I am my worse enemy with computers!  ~tnk~

5,896 steps yesterday.

As long as I can stay over 5,000 steps, I'm happy. I am taking it slow and easy, hopefully the end of the brace will be this Wednesday and I can be so much more comfortable. And even drive again!!

2435 steps yesterday. OK, I really didn't really try and was busy playing with the computer again.  I did manage to get up and move each hour for 15 hours but didn't move a lot.

I really wasn't up to working out, but did go on to the TM for a very casual climb

Three thousand and something steps yesterday!  The pedometer I am using has to be manually reset each day and I forgot to do it this morning so when I checked it earlier it was a mix of yesterday and probably 2-300 steps this morning so my actual steps were probably around 3500 or so.  I'll blame it on the time change! 
Barbara, hope you are able to get rid of the brace!  I know it is not fun at all.

Thanks Wally, I am sort of holding my breath afraid she will say more time in brace...but trying really hard to be positive.

Why do you say that ? Are you still in some kind of pain ?
The brace has been around for a long time and I think it has done its job, now its time to go.

Because they didn't tell me about the second 6 weeks right at the start. They let me think I would just be wearing it 6 weeks. The only pain now is from the brace itself irritating my back and sides.  But then maybe some of the back pain is still from the injury?? 12 weeks is enough for me!!
