5,353 steps yesterday.

TNR friend did come and we got hutch all fixed up. Took off the swinging door inside for cats to get into enclosed area it got stuck in closed and it looked like a cat may have been in then. There was no way her "netting" the kittens was going to work. She wanted to put the net on the ground with a bowl of food in the center and then lift it up when some cats came to eat. My cats aren't that civilized, plus no way she could stand that close to swoop up the net. They wouldn't even come near if she were there.

Again with the shed! Just not something I can tackle right now. But will do it up in the Spring.

5360 steps yesterday. So far I am doing better than I expected only a few weeks ago.  I am going to try to make the 5000 step as my goal but I don't know how that will work.

That's great. Try not to think about it and just keep doing what you can.

5,252 steps yesterday. Weird as day before was 5,353 interesting pattern!

I did run out to the store for cat food and I stupidly didn't correctly calculate how much wet food to get and still will come up short. Well, I have to go out  on the 1st to take garbage up the road so will make one last trip for the cats. I'm such a dummy sometimes!

5354 steps yesterday.  I do think about the number of steps and it isn't a bad thing because I am pretty happy to be able to manage to get to here.  Only a couple of months ago I was getting 1500-2000 steps a day and didn't think I would ever do any better again.  I am still getting at least 250 steps each hour and that is another goal.  One big difference is that I now can manage 250 or more steps in one session and could not do that before.  I do think I am getting stronger, maybe not a lot but still it seems to be happening.

5,699 steps yesterday.

Last day of a pretty good year health wise, all things considered. Last year this day, I was still in assisted care and not sure just how 2023 was going to look. It is hard to believe that was a whole year ago...on to even better days for 2024!!

4724 steps yesterday.  I had to back off later in the day as my right knee started to act up.  I guess it is not used to this much walking and has had pretty much of a rest for several months.  So far today it seems OK but I may just decide to take a day off to recoup.

5,387 steps yesterday.

Didn't get as much done outside as I wanted to, my right hand was really bothering me. At least I moved around every hour, some a lot, only a couple under 250.   

Today will be quiet, garbage up to the road and quick grocery run for few cans of cat food. Chewy supposedly arrives tomorrow.

I did go ahead and take the day off mostly yesterday and gave my knee a rest which I think helped.  Today it seems OK so I am back to trying it out and so far it is fine.  I will see how it goes for the rest of the day.

6,973 steps yesterday. Close to set goal of 7,000 but it was't even on my mind. May drop set goal to 6,000.

Grocery store, getting gas and PO trip added some steps. Today 3 big boxes come from Chewy so lots of lifting and going out and inside the house. Need to mind my hand and back so it will be slow process.

4478 steps yesterday.  My knee felt a lot better but it did give me a twinge a few times so I am taking it slower.  My goal is 4000 and any more in a bonus.  I did make the 250 or more steps each hour and that is my primary goal.

By the time all of Chewy order was unpacked and brought in, I was really tired, hands and back ached. Took it really easy rest of the day.

4790 steps yesterday.  Happily my knee didn't bother me at all but I am just going to keep being happy with getting my 250 or more each hour and 4000 steps.
