5,651 steps yesterday.

Busy morning yesterday with the crystal lady. And profitable too, which is probably why I put up with her scattered energy. I didn't plan much else for the day, but as I was searching (all over) for the pegs to put shelves back in some of the short book cases I am going to sell her, I got side tracked going through a little 3 drawer piece of furniture (don't know what to call it) in my storage area/pantry. I had put lots of old kids drawings and photos in there so that took a lot of time to go through. So more sitting than walking yesterday.

6,407 steps yesterday.

The few errands yesterday, particularly the grocery shopping, added most of the steps yesterday. At this point in my day, with no real plans, I'll just have to be happy with whatever comes.

6,300 steps yesterday. Not often do I end up with such a nice round number.

I've settled well into this range of steps and feel good, I'm beginning to wonder if it is time to maybe try to up it a little. May try just a little at a time, especially now that the weather is nice outside for walking. Whatever the day brings will be OK for now.

That is what I was thinking start small with a stretch of steady 7k for a while.

6,152 steps yesterday.

Doing laundry helped in the count. Plus I did a good clean up/sweep out in kitty house too. Today I plan to start a gradual increase in steps with a goal of 7,000/day. Increasing slowly so as not to stress anything too much. Once there, I'll hold for a while and see how I feel, then decide what to do next.

My sister was discharged from hospital yesterday, so I went walking to her house, which is like 1.5 kms away, and then walked back.

Hope she is doing well. It is nice she is so close by that you can walk there to visit.

6,268 steps yesterday.

I spent a lot of time researching prices for the crystals so I didn't walk much more than normal. Hopefully today I can actually try for a bit more.  ~ cat ~

7,597 steps yesterday.

OK, so I hit the new goal yesterday. So far today feel good, no new aches or anything. I'll see how today goes with no plans to push for a repeat, I'll just pay attention and try to walk more than sit. I don't want to feel "driven", I want it to just be natural. One day at a time...

The natural way is the best way forward. Yesterday I had to go to 'downtown' as you say it, and used the public transport system. I had to walk 2.6 kms and by the way I got home home I was too sweaty and tired to do anything.

8,082 steps yesterday.

Well, that came out of the blue!! As always lots of short walking around when crystal lady comes. One spot to another and back and forth a few times. Then a quick PO and grocery store run. I really didn't think I'd put in so many steps without even realizing it!

In the evening my neighbor across the road came over and started mowing my yard. I had to go out quickly, as last year he mowed down all my day lilies. I walked him around the yard and pointed out where not to mow, so that added to the steps too. He never asks for me to pay, but every couple of times I slip him a $20 to cover gas. It is very sweet of him.

Crystal lady messaged me really early wanting my quote for 3 flats of crystals she declined yesterday, in a big rush to have them now before Friday. (Our little town has what is called "First Friday" during the Spring/Summer months where all the local shops on Main St. have open houses and special sales and offers just to get people out shopping again after Winter.) She wants the crystals for then but didn't want/couldn't pay what I priced them. I'm not budging, but will offer her the ability to make me payments when I message her back. Will see what she says......
