A sunbeam will do it every time, eh?! Waylon would sleep square in the middle of the kitchen floor, if that's where the sun was - and we were allowed to step over him! And he threw a real cat fit one day when said sunbeam came through the back door & hit the side of the washing machine instead of the floor . . . he couldn't reach it there!  ~ cat ~

6306 steps yesterday.  I don't know why but after my eye appointment where I had my eyes dilated and then went shopping, when I got home I was just bushed.  I didn't do much walking at all until later in the day. 
I have never heard of Arnica before do I googled it.  It doesn't sound too promising :

But, if it works that is all that maters.

9,044 steps yesterday.

I have had success with arnica in the past. I used the tablet form dissolved under the tongue, But since that is compounded with sugar, I quit after dx. The gel does help some, have to apply about 4X a day but I can live with that. Knee was really sore in the morning, but I have been walking it out some. Won't be a high day today.

7463 steps yesterday.  Even that was a bit of a chore.  I don't why but my leg muscles have been kind of tired and sore for the last couple of days.  Just trying to get over my 7K goal right now.

4,768 steps yesterday.

I knew it would be a low day as my knee and low back were really sore. They are better today so hopefully I can reach my 7,000 step goal today.

8749 steps yesterday.  Still a bit sore for some unknown reason but not as bad. 
Yeah Barbara, I notice a problem with my lower back sometimes and I am not sure why but I think it may be due to walking a bit skewed when my knee is bothering me.

Yeah, you may be right Wally, I have been favoring my knee and probably did strain my back. It has issues of already without the added stress...

Only 5723 steps yesterday.  I was doing fine until noon and then the wind picked up and I decided to take the rest of the day off.   :D

5672 steps yesterday.  Low count but I had my annual "wellness" Medicare doctors exam and it ended up that I was there over 3 hours.  I appreciate that my doctor takes as much time as she deems necessary for each patient but management packs the schedule so the wait is usually long.  Maybe better today.
Barbara, I sure hope you feel better soon.

8835 steps yesterday.  At 100° I'm not doing much outdoors in the afternoon.  Still, I managed 500+ steps each hour for 12 hours so that is good.
Yes Barbara, take it easy and don't worry about steps until you get better.

Still sore, but got through the day with no Aleve. Today will be lower I think...
