10,163 steps yesterday.  Really felt better after getting that monitor off.  I don't know if I can manage 10K every day but that is what I am looking to do.

12,314 steps yesterday.

I hear ya Wally. I've been outside today moving snow away from my garage and sweeping water off the concrete pad. Guess I am going to have to break down and buy some sand bags to protect the garage...

6846 steps yesterday.  No excuse really, just kicked back for a bit and got a bit lazy.  I did make my steps per hour for the 12 hours though.

11,808 steps yesterday. Moving snow and sweeping water didn't add many steps, but did add some more exercise.

7807 steps yesterday.  I do have a problem dealing with muscle pain, some days worse than others.  I can walk so far, 300-500 steps, and then it hurts enough to make me stop.  My doctor is thinking it may be fibromyalgia and reading about it, it may be.  Right now I am going to try using Naproxen that I have on hand and so far this morning it seems to be helping.  Kind of a bummer as the weather is really nice now and walking outside is something I enjoy.  I looked into my prescription drug coverage and Lyrica would cost me $100 for a 90 day prescription.  Not thrilled with that and it may not even be what I need.  I'm not a fan of taking pain meds daily though.

11,983 steps yesterday. Add snow shoveling and sweeping pavement too. It takes away from steps, but adds upper body exercise.

Sorry you are having pain Wally. I am like you, I don't like to take pain meds on a regular basis either. Hope you feel better soon.

10,050 steps yesterday.  I took a couple of Naproxen in the morning and it really seemed to help.  I actually surprised myself and hit 10K without paying attention.  I don't know if I will need to keep using the Naproxen but I guess you do what you have to do.

8747 steps yesterday.  Actually not too bad.  I went to a lunch at a local restraunt with a retirement association I belong to with a meeting afterward and that took up about 2 1/2 hours so I did OK with the time I had left.

13,520 steps yesterday.

Ran some errands today, but then spent a lot of time sweeping water off the concrete pad and digging a trench so don't know how the steps will go. It was a lot of exercise though!
