8,899 steps yesterday.

Just my pcp appt for today, nothing else on agenda, except a load of laundry.

I am going to have my pcp glance at my leg to double confirm it is healing well. I am pretty sure it is but it is still somewhat red so a second opinion can't hurt.

8,918 steps yesterday.

Dr appt went fine yesterday, she said my leg looks good, but of course she hadn't seen original injury. I had a pix on my phone and showed her and she said the dr did a great job stitching it up as more than likely the covering skin would have died and it didn't! And it feels just about normal now too!

Didn't get to the laundry yesterday so it is the plan for today.

8,794 steps yesterday.

No major snow in the forecast for a few days, so I won't be moving the snow and those little aches all over can heal. In general feeling pretty decent. I'm not going to push the steps but just do what I can without paying attention to it. These cold foggy days are more conducive to curling up by the fire with Millie cat in my lap!!

8,933 steps yesterday.

Yesterday was pretty quiet and I expect the same today. Hopefully the steps will be the same at least too! It looks like it is going to be a good week, weather-wise I may be able to get out for a couple walks in the wildlife refuge!

9,022 steps yesterday.

As long as I don't have a lot of snow to shovel, I think I am almost all the way back from leg injury. We do show a few nice days still for this week so I am going to try to get out and go to my newly found walking area at the Wildlife Refuge.

9,191 steps yesterday.

Just the short grocery run yesterday for getting out.  Still too cold and icy to venture out to the paths. Today looks to be even a bit colder so probably won't be venturing out to walk again today either. The sun is nice outside so may go out just around the house a bit but that is it. Rest of my walking will be inside.

Restarted TM. Today's stats
31:06 min / 1.81 km / 150 cal / inc 4-6 / speed 3.6 / maxHR 120
Apart from this I have also walked about 2km while out for a meeting + I usually get about 2000 steps at home and say 5 flights up and down the floors.

8,761 steps yesterday.

Mostly done inside. It is still too icy to walk anywhere outside. Can't risk a fall of any kind!

Yeah, I have slipped and fallen on the ice before but I was younger and fortunately didn't hurt myself too bad but it is not worth trying now.

I have slipped on a wet floor many times when I was younger, but now I am very cautious about falling. Whenever I have visited my daughter in the winters, I have to be careful of the ice, some of which is on her balcony flooring.

More walking inside yesterday. Still very icy outside. More of the same for today.

9,168. steps yesterday.

Surprised by the number. Besides moving things around, my friend came over for a visit and we sat and talked for a while so I really thought my number would be lower yesterday. I guess the back and forth from office to kitchen added more steps than I thought.

Well, I have been absent from this thread for quite some time because I didn't really have anything to post but last Wednesday I was getting around and managed to get over 250 steps in that hour so I decided to see if I could get the 250 step goal for the remaining hours and actually did and ended up with 10 hours of at least 250 steps and a total of 3415 steps for the day. In the past my goal was 12 hours starting at 6:00 AM of 250 steps and my total for the day was usually around 4000 steps for the day. A long way from the 10,000+ steps a day I used to manage but more along what I am able to do now.
Thursday I got started at 6 AM and was able to get 12/12 hours and a total of 4729 steps so not bad but I was not sure if I could manage it yesterday but I did get 12/12 hours and a total of 5339 steps so more than I expected but doing laundry adds more steps above the 4000 mark. I don't know how long I can manage this and I expect that I will take the day off once in a while but I am feeling better and hope to keep it up.

Yay Wally!! Glad to hear you are starting to feel able to get more steps in. Also glad to have some more. company back here too!

8,978 steps yesterday. (I still don't know where this sudden burst of so many steps came from recently. I'll take it though!)

Mostly in the house. And yes, laundry definitely adds to the step count. Just a little snow moving on the agenda for today...I'm sure something else will come up too!
