2295 steps yesterday - because we had errands and we went to two different grocery stores.  One of these days I will make it to the 3000 steps which is a big improvement for me.

Barbara, yes, I think it's a good idea to take it easy while healing.  Still getting a fair number of steps.
Grammabear, moving is the goal and you are doing that.  You will get to 3000 steps if you can manage to keep it up.

I guess I didn't take it as easy as I planned. I am really going to try today to take it easy.

I am very much continuing with the 1.0 to 1.5 km walk everyday. On weekends I do about 4-5 km because I have the time.
Diabetic ?

6280 steps, 62 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  Still a bit too hot to be walking outside much but nice inside.  I'm just not able to get the number of steps that I used to but I am doing about 2.5 miles ( 4 KM ) a day and making at least 250 steps each hour from 6 AM to 5 PM so I'm happy with that.

11,303 steps yesterday. 1 hour 53 mins of walking. Just doing what feels OK, not trying to push it at all.

Hey Wally, we do what we can, as long as we are up and moving, that's all that counts.

OOPS ! I forgot to post here today.  I had 6185 steps, 58 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  You are right Barbara.  We do what we can.  I don't agree with my doctor that the pain I am feeling is just due to "old age" but I don't know what the cause is either.  I am wondering if it may be related to a prescription drug I am taking.  I looked at the side effects of my meds and one of the blood pressure meds that I started a while back has muscle soreness as a possibility.  I don't want to stop it to experiment until I see my doctor first.  My next appointment isn't until July but that is coming up pretty soon.

Interesting idea Wally. You may have figured out your problem. I hope so!!

I'm thinking I need to have DILAUDID added to my list of meds not to take. I'm pretty sure that was the culprit in my vomiting episodes.

6769 steps, 75 min. and 12/12 hours yesterday.  Yeah Barbara, it's just an idea but I believe there is a cause.  I will take it up with my doctor an my next appointment.  I will need to try some other med to replace it because I do have a real problem controlling my blood pressure so I can't just stop it.
