10,531 steps yesterday.

Thanks Grammabear, I am beginning to feel better. I am not ready for a new fur baby yet, but maybe one day. I am going to CA in May to meet my newest grand child (due March/April) and celebrate my 70th b-day, so with no Boo to have to make arrangements for it will be easier to get away. Frankly, I'd rather have to make arrangements but.... sigh.

I may even take some short trips this Summer...

2,831 steps yesterday.

The grocery store was so busy yesterday, almost like Thanksgiving or Christmas.  Sure thing we will not be going there on Super Bowl weekend as last year it was a mad house.

8870 steps yesterday.  Not too bad and I did finally get my weights out and do some lifting exercise.  It's obvious I need to do a lot more.  I'll be working on that.

10,506 steps yesterday.

Got up later this morning, so steps may be lower today.

When DH was alive and we lived in CA, we used to always drive up to our cabin in the Sierras on Super Bowl weekend because the roads were always so quiet, no traffic.

7825 steps yesterday.  Once in a while my back tends to give me a problem but the good news is that my knee seems to be OK.
Way to keep it up Grammabear !

12,238 steps yesterday. Surprised myself!! I was watching videos of Top Chef Last Chance Kitchen and instead of just sitting I did laps in the kitchen. That was about 45 min straight. Back and knees still OK.

Made a short grocery and Post Office run today so that will help step count.

Glad you are posting Grammabear! Keep up the good work!

Ditto.

And if these numbers are coming from your phone, I'm sure there are times that the phone is not with you and the actual number is much higher.

7277 steps yesterday.  Yeah Grammabear, sometimes my back gives me a hard time to and you just have to back off.  Sometimes if I lie down for a bit it gets better.  It usually only takes 15-20 min. most of the time.

11,597 steps yesterday. So far all joints doing fine.

Grammabear, I always back off if I feel sore anywhere. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

2,053 steps yesterday.

I don't know if it is wise, but because it was raining all day outside, I did "laps" inside my house.  The back has been complaining a bit but this morning I feel better.  Gotta keep at it and maybe one day I will reach a bigger goal.

8147 steps yesterday.  I'm hoping to make at least 7K for each day this week.  So far so good.
Grammabear, I do a lot of walking doing "laps" around the house when it is not nice outdoors.  I prefer to do my walking outside but it is not always possible.  Right now you are doing good and if you manage to increase your steps that is good also but you are moving each day and that is the main thing.

 11,214 steps yesterday.

Grammabear, the majority of my steps are laps inside. My yard is very uneven and my balance isn't the best so I only walk out there when I am feeding the birds.  You are doing just fine, as Wally said as long as you are moving everyday it is good for you.
