4,540 steps yesterday.

Frustrating after how well I was doing recently. Hopefully ,I can gradually as my body allows, start walking more. One day at a time....

Well, that was a day of rest! I kept dozing off in the recliner every time I'd sit down for a while. I did manage to get started doing my taxes but that was sitting too. I'm hoping now the good weather will get me moving outside more.

I'm still nursing an aching back and knee from all the previous snow shoveling so I guess the resting is still needed, so I won't push. The mind is ready, the body, not so much for now.

All I did yesterday was light chores in the house. It was the first day in almost a week that I didn't keep falling asleep in the recliner. I guess that is a good sign that I am healing more and getting back to more of a normal day. Hopefully today will follow suit.

I really though I did more...oh well. I obviously did all I could! Did spend a lot of time sitting and sorting out all the inheritance documents, Mom's and bother's so I could keep track of each step in this process. I'll just have to see how many steps the day brings....

Actually felt pretty good, will see how today goes...

Yesterday was lots of reorganizing in office and pulling things for the crystal lady's visit today. Then that got me going through things in kitchen and a closet, ending up with another box for Goodwill. I like the feeling of finally getting rid of things I haven't touched in years. Can't wait until the weather is better and I can get into the car side of the garage!

Today, I have some cleaning chores I need to do in the house, but it depends on how long crystal lady stays and how my knee and back feel by the time I'd get to them, whether they happen or not.

Gradually getting more steps in with no new pain next day.  Yesterday's plan went out the window when crystal lady didn't show up. Then later in day my friend dropped by and we visited an hour or so.

I either have to drive down to town south of me today or just to my PO to mail jury duty papers, beyond that I'm not going to "plan" on anything as lately things just are coming up unexpectedly, so I'm just going with the flow for today.

So far I a not having any adverse reaction from slowly increasing my walking. I'm not going to push for any number but will try to get a few more steps in each day.

I do have to spend a fair amount of time today going through paperwork in prep for lawyer appointment so that will be a lot of sitting. But I also have some clean up of old shelter boxes on the front deck and sweep up all the stray straw that is inside them. Some Spring tiding up. My lawn is covered with downed leaves that have been under the snow. Raking them up will be another Spring chore I'll tackle in a bit after they have a chance to dry up a bit.

6,401 steps yesterday. So far no new pains.

Besides the outside chores, I did a laundry yesterday too. Laundry always adds steps to the daily count as I keep taking things from dryer to hang up to finish drying. So lots of back and forth in the house.

With today's outside chores, I should get a decent count, and enjoy the outside too!
