6,787 steps yesterday.

Holding pretty steady for now. Still keeping it slow and easy and that seems to be working. Only have a lingering cough left to get rid of, but with this weather, allergies are going to start to kick in with all the same symptoms.

6,739 steps yesterday.

Another good day. The unexpected long phone call added a lot of steps I wouldn't probably have had. I always pace when I talk on the phone.

Today, I think I will do a bit of leaf raking in the yard. That's about all other than normal inside things.

Did some raking in the yard and then boxing up some of the leaves to put in garbage today. Gotta use some of those Chewy boxes! It is a damp day outside so I think more going through papers and sorting/tossing some is best project for today.

6,380 steps yesterday.

It was a pretty quiet day. I got outside a little, just doing small spot clean ups. The damp weather has made the leaves hard to rake for now so not much yard work. I was on the computer a lot and then when I got the mail I had a huge envelope from our lawyer of papers to go through. Nothing I needed to do, but things I needed to know as the process moves forward.

Today will probably be about the same. I can always count on little side track projects to pop up and keep me busy.

I spent a lot of time going through papers so didn't get as many steps, but the satisfaction  of the end result was worth it. Today I want to do more. I also do need to do laundry today and that adds steps, I'll just have to see what the day brings besides those plans.

7,592 steps yesterday.

My friend that helped build the kitty house called and we talked for an hour and a half. I pace while I talk on the phone so that added a lot of extra steps yesterday! She is still having various health issues beyond the occluded artery to her brain which has been resolved some. She's tough and rolls with each punch but it does get he down sometimes.

I do need to do the laundry I didn't do yesterday, today and the rest of my plans are to continue clearing out old paperwork in the office. I'm sure there will be other things too....

6,345 steps yesterday.

So far no problems related to the steps. Keeping in this range seems to be the right spot for now. Since I am on a roll with the cleaning/clearing I'm going to keep going until something more important needs to be done.

Pretty much a repeat of the day before. Down to almost the same number of steps! Still feeling good, no new aches or pains so I will go with the flow and keep doing what I have been doing.

Activities were pretty much the same as the last two days. Today may be a little less when I factor in time to visit with my friend. But with the good weather in the future, I certainly will have ample opportunity for yard work!

I started with the TM again. Hopefully I will continue to do this at least 4 days a week. Since my body is all rusted, I took it very easy today, doing just a mile, but getting credit for 2 km with a very mild incline.

skb, it is so easy to get out of the habit of getting some exercise, and really hard to get back to making it a habit. I know that only too well from personal experience. Once "life" gets in the way of our best made plans it take work/dedication to get back to them.

7,148 steps yesterday.

My friend came over to help with a couple outside chores. While we were visiting later, I mentioned all the boxes of past taxes I needed to dispose of, and asked if they would be able to burn them. She said "of course"! So that lead too a lot of lifting and carrying boxes through the house and stacking in her truck. I'd say about 20 very heavy boxes. Got a lot of steps in the process. Back is feeling it today, but what a relief to have them out of here and so easily disposed of!!

Today I am going too take it a bit easy, just to rest sore muscles.
