11,899 steps yesterday. Went to the new market again yesterday. Got the most luscious rib eye steak ever! Also went to look at vacuums...

Glad your back is better Wally!

8258 steps yesterday.  I'm happy to get 8K in a day but I don't know if I am going to manage 10K again.  Maybe when the days get longer.

12,276 steps yesterday. I don't know how this keeps happening. I'm not pushing to get this many steps a day.Getting up so much earlier (for me) seems to be the only explanation.

8400 steps yesterday.  Walking would be a lot more enjoyable if it didn't hurt but that is just something I have learned to deal with.  Some days are better than others but it does limit how long I can go before having to stop and take a break.  I take my first walk at 6:00 AM and then try to get at least 500 steps every hour for the next 12 hours.  lately I have been able to accomplish that.

12,736 steps yesterday.

I start walking around 9AM, it used to be 10:30 or 11AM. I do anywhere from 500 to over 1,000 steps an hour. I don't go to bed until 1 or 2AM so get a start on the next day then.

7866 steps yesterday.  I didn't quite get to 8 K but close.  I start walking about 6 AM and try to get at least 500 steps each hour for the next 12 hours.  I have been pretty good at hitting that goal lately but it takes more to get close to 10 K.

12,011 steps yesterday. Last evening as I was doing laps in the kitchen, it dawned on me why I am getting so many more steps each day. There is no more  ~ cat ~ in lap time... :'(

9437 steps yesterday.  A shopping trip added a lot of steps.  I managed 1800 steps while shopping in one hour.  I felt it after but it gets better after an hour or so. 
Yeah Barbara, I figured that was a big part of your increase in steps.  I sometimes get involved in doing something and have to stop to get some steps in each hour.  That is one reason I like the reminder each hour from my Fitbit.

13,036 steps yesterday.

To tell the truth, I'd rather have less steps and have  ~ cat ~ in lap instead..... maybe one day...

10,266 steps yesterday.  It was only a couple of weeks ago I was lamenting that I doubted I would ever see 10 K again.  Well, it looks like I was wrong.  The good thing is that I am not having any problems so far.

8861 steps yesterday.  I don't think I am going to hit 10K every day but it was good to get there once.  I seem to pick up a second wind later in the day so when the days get longer I think I will probably do more.
