6078 steps yesterday.  I was doing pretty good until around noon and my back started up again.  All I could do is to lie down for a while.  I don't know what is causing that but I don't like it.

I've been missing out on my exercise for a long time now. We are having water shortage and I have to be up between 1:00 and 3:00 am to use boosters to ensure that we have adequate water supply. Watering the lawns and managing the water for the house also uses up a lot of energy and work. So I'm moving a lot, just not doing regular exercise.

Your morning routine sounds very labor intensive.  Isn't the fact that you are moving quite important?  Does it have to be a routine using gym equipment?  Be proud of everything you do.

Yes, I am. It's just that with the gym equipment I can target specific muscle groups. And I take care to exercise all groups a little bit.

11,565 steps yesterday.

Been feeling kind of down the last few days. Slowed down my walking. All this medical carp is beginning to take its toll on me I think. I see the ENT tomorrow hope I can get some legit answers.

2357 steps yesterday and my back is hurting.  Might be the change in weather from sunny to rain.

Best wishes on your visit with the ENT Barbara.

Grammabear, this dr is very kind and was calming mea down when I told him what the Oncologist said. My biopsy is scheduled for the 29th. Then I will know for sure one way or another.

I'm going to be at my mother's place for the weekend. There is a nice big park there. I'm thinking I'll go for a walk in the evening after the sun has set. Otherwise there are a lot of boys who play cricket and walking at that time is no fun.
