8614 steps yesterday.  My right knee gives me a bit of a twinge of pain once in a while.  So far I have been able to walk it out but I may need to start the injections soon.

5428 steps yesterday.  I'm not sure why but I was really dragging yesterday and just didn't push it.

7401 steps yesterday.  I had an appointment with my gastroenterologist for a follow up yesterday at 9:00 AM so I got there about 15 min early as usual.  The doctor and his staff come up here once a week from a larger town but they were not there yet, so I sat down and waited along with about three others.  After an hour I knew something was wrong so I called and was told that the doctor was on vacation and someone should have called!  ARRRRRRRGH !  Well, they were sorry so I guess that makes it all better.  Anyway, that is the excuse I have for not getting any more steps.   :D

6434 steps yesterday.  I was doing good until around 1:00 PM and then I just ran out of gas.  I'm actually surprised that I got so many.

6557 steps yesterday.  Again yesterday I do pretty good until later in the day and then my legs just get tired.  Not sure what causes that.

3,867 steps yesterday. Don't know if I'll ever get back up to 7,000 steps...don't know if it is worth the pain...

I'm quite sure it isn't worth the pain. We old folks have learned to listen & heed those aches & pains! When our bodies start telling us to stop whatever causes pain, we listen!  ;D ;D

9533 steps yesterday.  Thankfully I felt good all day, maybe I need to take a break now and then.  I was out walking just a bit ago and did OK so it will be interesting to see how I do today.

Yeah, the pain we see is not the same as the pain you get from exercising after you work out.  It is not worth trying to "tough through it".  When I am having problems I just try to get a few steps in each hour.  My Fitbit is looking for 250 steps an hour and the stepz app is looking for 300 steps.  I try to get at least 500 steps in an hour but sometimes that is not possible so you just do what you can do.

9168 steps yesterday.  I felt pretty good after getting started.  A bit sore at the beginning but not too bad after.  I have been out this morning enjoying the cool air and doing OK.
