5207 steps yesterday and that was good enough.  Still doing better with the knee brace. 
Yeah Shanny, it was the results of blood work that showed kidney problems that made me stop and think over using the Ibuprofen.   It's easy to go overboard and we are told that it is harmless so why not ?

10,290 steps yesterday.  Walking around an unfamiliar grocery store sure adds to the step count.

LOL Shanny!! I found a brand of turmeric on Amazon that I will try.  I just got an order yesterday so I want to wait until I get a few items on my list to order again.

5,814 steps yesterday.  My  ~ cat ~ plopped himself on my lap and just wasn't going to take no for an answer.  I was gone a lot 2 days this week and I guess he was going to make sure I didn't go anywhere yesterday!! 

He is hogging my lap again today so don't know how many steps I'll get in today...

That's one smart kittycat - he can tell time!  ~ cat ~    ~100~

5290 steps yesterday.  Just trying to stay above 5K and when the temp. gets over 90° outside I stay in and just walk a little bit.  I am making my 250 steps minimum each hour for 10 hours each day though.

I turned my ankle last night and it is pretty sore today so not doing too much walking.

@bsg, you need some time off to heal and repair. Ankle sprains can be very painful and if not healed completely will haunt you later. Of course, you would already know that and will take care. My good wishes are with you.

5423 steps yesterday.  Too hot to spend much time outside so just walking around the house a bit. 
Bummer Barb, yeah, take it easy and don't worry about steps.  I'm not a good example but it is a good idea to let it heal.

Barb - sorry to hear of your misfortune of turning your ankle.  You need to spend time with your "heat therapy"  ~ cat ~  He will like the availability of your lap.

A surprising 7,376 steps yesterday.  My foot hurt, but it also felt good to walk.  Swelling is down today, but still sore.  Backing off a bit.  My "heat therapy"   ~ cat ~ has thrown up 3 times today and I am worried about him.

Happy about your ankle, but not a bit happy about kitty-cat's symptoms. Give him an extra cuddle from me & Waylon.

@bsg, that's a very good score with a sore ankle. Hoping that  ~ cat ~ is feeling better today.

Well, 6312 steps yesterday so a bit better than I expected. 
Barb, hope  ~ cat ~ is OK.  It's always a worry when they are sick and you are not sure what may be wrong.  Do take care of that ankle.

8,393 steps yesterday.

Boo seems to be better today and has spent a lot of lap time, but I am keeping an eye on him.  It may be his virus flaring up.  I hope not! 

I had to run errands today and my foot really didn't like my outside shoes!  It was pretty swollen by the time I got home.

7455 yesterday.  Much of it was due to walking around the Walmart trying to find things but at least it was cool inside !
