9139 steps yesterday.  Not bad considering I spent about 1 1/2 hours at my Cardiologist for a routine follow up appointment.  All looks good so happy about that.
I really pay the closest attention to my Fitbit but the one thing it doesn't do is show how many steps you have made for each hour.  It looks for 250 steps min/hour and just marks it done and ignores anything over that as far as hourly steps.  I try to get at least 500 steps/hour so the iPhone app gives me that information.  It is interesting that the update to the Stepz app only gave me a choice of a trial period for free and then wanted the subscription.  Yes, $3 a week is ridiculous and I don't know why they think anyone would pay that.

5765 steps yesterday.  Kind of feeling more sore than usual so just managed to get my steps each hour in.
Barbara, I'm just fine, thanks, but for some reason I could not connect to the forum yesterday.  I kept getting a page not found error.  I used the link on the Facebook page today and it worked.  I don't know why the only URL that came up on Google also did not work.

Glad all is well Wally. I had that happen once too. I shut down for the night and the next day, maybe yesterday, my browser was cleared so I had to load all the sites back on. DP came up error not found from my search. I went to History and it opened just fine from there.

4490 steps yesterday.  Not very high on the step count but I spent a lot of time working in the yard.  With the rain we have had the weeds are huge and with the wind and rain we have had clean up is a pretty big job.  So low on steps but my back will tell you I was keeping busy.   `8)

Still have large patches of snow on the ground so no clean up going on here yet. I actually don't do much myself anyway...

4496 steps yesterday.  Still the same as Saturday.  Not really paying much attention to walking but keeping active.  Today I am going to see how I can do step wise.

15,458 steps yesterday. I think that is my highest count ever. I was doing a lot of Spring cleaning, filling bags with clothing to donate and taking them out to the car. Taking them today to a breast Cancer Thrift shop. I will probably bring home a thing or two, LOL!

That's a LOT of steps.  I love shopping at a thrift shop, sometimes you can get a real treasure that someone else has no use for having.   ;D

9377 steps yesterday.  Hoping I can get 10K each day in the summer so we will see.
That is a very good day Barbara.  My best day was 23K but that was about 4 years ago and I don't think I will ever see that again.  Now 10K is a reach.

14,758 steps yesterday.

Walked a lot at the hospital today to get CT scan done, unfortunately didn't have my phone with me.  :( I tried to count the steps and will add on my "guesstimate" which is probably low to today's total.

I did find a couple treasures yesterday at the thrift shops. Found a couple great zip up hoodies. One is very lightweight and will be great for Spring and Summer the other is velour.

8161 steps yesterday.  I did OK but it was a time issue.  I took a load to the thrift store yesterday but I didn't go inside to do any shopping.  I don't need anything more to clog up my closets right now.  :o
