How do you manage to take steps at all when you are hurting?  I 'bumped' into the doorway whilst walking from the bed to the bathroom and really jammed my toe hard.  I was wearing slippers but my toe is still so sore.  I see the Podiatrist next week for diabetic foot care, but in the meantime walking is slowed way down.  Hope your hip feels better soon.

Yeah Barbara, it is really not fun to try to get more steps than you are comfortable with just to try to reach a goal.  That is why I decided to not worry about total steps.  I was just pushing myself too hard and it hurt.  I used to manage 10,000 steps a day without any problem but no longer.  I do get at least 250 steps each hour and that is my goal now.  My Fitbit has a reminder that buzzes at 10 min. before the hour if I haven't reached the 250 steps so I can get it in. My total for the day is around 5,000 and I am good with that and I think it is better for me now.  I think avoiding long periods of sitting helps so getting some steps in each hour seems to be a good thing.

5,659 steps yesterday.

Grammabear, mostly my steps are just doing daily things and trying to get steps in each hour. Since I live alone I have to do everything myself which gets me steps whether it hurts or not.

Yeah Wally, I'm thinking the days of 10,000+ steps a day are gone for sometime maybe forever... at this point as long as I move around each hour I am content.

Some days I can't do much , others a bit better, doesn't seem like I'm getting back anywhere near my 10,000 step goal soon, but I keep up hope that someday I can. I post to encourage others that feel they can't do much to have pride in their accomplishments and post for others to see. We encourage each other by  example.
