8,579 steps yesterday.  My foot is sore today, I guess I overdid yesterday.  And the shoes didn't help either.

6,512 steps yesterday. Foot is still bothering me so kind of cut back some.  I'm trying to at least keep to my goal of 6,000 steps.

 Lost my Fitbit yesterday while I was riding the lawnmower mowing the lawn.  Once I realized the loss, I went walking around the yard looking for it but of course did not find it.  So, today I ordered a 'gently used' one from eBay.  Later this afternoon my hubby offered to start the riding mower so I could ride instead of walk because we have 1+ acres to walk around.  I used my iphone to try and 'sync' with it and would you believe this............the phone found it at the farthest edge of our property in the corn field face down in the mud.  It still works...... ::)

5320 steps yesterday and that was all I could do.  My knee is getting to be more of a problem so I think I need to let it rest. 
Good deal Grammabear, well, good that you found it even though you bought another.  Now you have a backup Fitbit !

7,001 steps yesterday.

Yay Grammabear! Glad you found it!!  Now you have a backup!  Was it one of the clip on versions?
I'm still on the fence re buying one, Stepz seems to be working OK for me at this point.  It does miss quite a few steps in the first part of the day, but I count and mark them down, so I can live with that.

6,613 steps yesterday.  My knees and feet are fighting me some.
I'm trying to take it a bit easy until all feels well again.

Barb - Yes, my fitbit is call "fitbit One" and it is several inches long with a clip for your jeans pocket or waistband or wherever you want to wear it.  I've also had the fitbit Zip which is much small with a clip and of course I lost that one too.  I kind of wanted their bracelet types, but those are considerably more than I wanted to spend.  I bought my 'replacement' on eBay for half of what I paid originally.  Stepz is a good phone app in my opinion and I find that Stepz and Fitbit are fairly close in numbers.

3.5 miles on the stationary bike yesterday.  Not much walking as it rained most of the day.

5326 steps yesterday.  I went to town and shopped at the Super Walmart but only bought groceries and this time I knew where everything I wanted was located so step count was much lower than in past trips.   :D

5,550 steps yesterday.  Didn't run errands yesterday, did them today.

I was grocery shopping when I got the call about my friend's passing.  His wife's sister called me.
  She was my pcp's nurse until she retired earlier this year.
