Any idea if the app also counts steps if you are talking on the phone (and walking). I have a feeling that Argus (app) doesn't do that.

7,735 steps yesterday.  Lots of cat in lap time. 

Ran errands today, but the cat is firmly in my lap right now so today may be another low day.

I don't know the answer to that skb, I hardly talk on the phone.  I would think the app would function in the background, but I know nothing...

Have been trying to walk for 10-15 minutes at least 4 times per week.  Went in for a BP check yesterday and had a really good reading.  I think the walking helps!

8528 steps yesterday.  The cat is really being a lap kitty lately.  And for some reason my legs are kind of wobbly too.

I'm beginning to think Waylon thinks I'm as wobbly as he is! Every time we set out together - me following him to whatever he thinks requires my attention - we'll go a coupla steps & then he turns around to make sure I'm still coming! I keep telling him I can't continue until he moves on forward, and it's especially vital when we're coming downstairs in the morning, because he turns to look around on the step right below me, exactly where my foot needs to go next. One more effect of kittycat being in charge of the whole household.

I'm out of the exercise "groove" so to say. I need to shake myself hard and get on to the machines. Have been indulging in gluttony these past few days. Wedding season here  :-[

9,028 steps yesterday.

Boy is that the truth Shanny!! Baby Boo does the same thing.  He'll walk in front of me when he wants treats and keep looking back at me to be sure I am still there.  If I am not fast enough for him he fake nips at my foot to hurry me up!

Can we add that cat smiley to ours?

Not back to where I would like to be yet but slowly getting stronger.  It really seems to be a slow process but I am not going to push harder than I feel good with and not setting any goals yet.  I managed 7051 steps yesterday which is my best day so far.  I am also making sure that I get at least 250 steps every hour and not sit for prolonged periods.  Actually it is quite a change from a month ago when I got out of the hospital and needed a walker just to get from my bedroom to the bathroom.  At that time I didn't know if I would ever be able to get around without a walker so my progress has been pretty good.   ~yes~
