Just over 2500 steps yesterday and that is what taking it easy is here but I don't have the same demands.  I am probably going to start picking it up soon.

9,055 steps yesterday.

Dug car out of snow, clearing decks of snow, then a quick grocery run, for what else? Cat food!

If pump guy does make it today, probably lots of steps back and forth to see if water flowing...

That is so kind hearted.
I had wanted to start with the treadmill but forgot all about it. Actually had a couple of meetings in the morning so I had to go out for a couple of hours.

8,003 steps yesterday.

No heavy physical activity ie shoveling snow, but still lots of extra steps dealing with getting water where I needed it. No pump guy yesterday..... left message I really need him today!!

Dentist appt tomorrow and I need a real shower/shampoo and to do a laundry for clean clothes! I may cancel dentist if I get no water. Having more teeth removed, and conditions here are less sanitary than I would like for recuperation.

Today is day 10 with no running water. :(

3556 steps yesterday.  I did manage to pick it up later in the day and got 7/12 hours with over 250 steps so I am going to try to get back into my routine.

8,992 steps yesterday.

Water is finally back on so hopefully all the extra steps and lifting are finished. My back and hands can really stand the rest!

Chewy order arrived yesterday and involved a lot of moving heavy bags and in and outside to get things out of boxes.  That is done for a couple weeks now too so no more stress on body for a while...

Today will be a real day of rest! Rescheduled dentist and neighbor's husband is taking her to dr so nothing on my agenda at all today!!!

6,630 steps yesterday.

I really tried to force myself to take it easy. But there was some tiding up that needed to be done inside and out. I just had to make myself stop trying to do it all in one day!

I have yet to start my TM. It's been on the cards for several days, but does get postponed time and again.

7,315 steps yesterday.

I missed a bunch as I had phone charging and did a few things before I realized it wasn't in my pocket. Oh, well it was in the 100 or so range, didn't even try to guess...

Mostly quiet day, but I did have to go out to Drug store for test strips, PO for mail and grocery store. Added up to more than expected as is usually the case.

I did make an appointment to have my hair cut Friday.  It is getting so thin, long hair is not working for me any more. It is below my shoulders and I'm tired of dealing with it, so going Jamie Lee Curtis on it!!

Only 3009 steps yesterday.  The battery issue kind of messed me up and I didn't really put a lot of effort in it.

Refreshing straw in some of the shelters. It is nice to be outside in much nicer weather!
