4,728 steps yesterday. I try, but I am so afraid of my back flaring up that I still take it easy.

I think it's a much greater part of wisdom to take care of your back! ((((Barb))))

9655 steps yesterday.  Ran errands in the morning and spent some time at Walmart.  Always good for around 2000 steps there, it's big and it is cool inside!

Barbara, I forgot to add, I think you are wise to not go too far with your back.  I wouldn't worry about total steps, just moving is a benefit.  I try to get at least the 300 steps each hour that the Stepz app marks and that is my main goal.  I like to get at least 7k but even if I don't I still try to get movement each hour.  It keeps me from sitting for long periods without moving.

I spent 30 minutes riding 3 miles on my stationary bike.  Seems so silly to ride a bike and get nowhere, however it is pouring rain at the moment.

A surprising 6,045 steps yesterday. I had to run errands and grocery shop so that accounted for a lot. Trying not to push it today.

8461 steps yesterday.  Lately I tend to slack off after I make it to 7K and anything over that is a bonus.

9279 steps yesterday.  I felt pretty good but today I am kind of sore so I may not do near as well.  Sometimes as I walk though it gets better.

Quiet day, low back is tying to act up and I am trying not to give it a reason.

8889 steps yesterday.  It was really windy so I stayed inside mostly.  I have been out this morning a couple of times and I am a bit sore.  It worked out yesterday but seems to be more persistent today.  My joints are Ok but my muscles are sore.  Not really sure why.

Muscle aches over here too, Wally, and not sure why either. Just my shoulders & upper arms. It's exasperating when I can't name a cause!

Am trying to persuade DH for dinner out, so I don't have to manhandle the old iron skillet! I'd make him a grilled cheese sandwich & call it good . . . he loves those . . . but we don't have any bread. Nothing much gets cooked in this house without that skillet; it never leaves the stove top.  ;D

6928 steps yesterday.  Well, the sore muscles went away and I was doing real well until around 2:00 PM and then my back started to give me problems.  I don't know what I did but it put me down for a while.  Seems OK now.  Sometimes if it isn't one thing it's another.   ???
