    March 20... 18,216 steps....Yea!!!!
    I got out walked early, did 3 miles at about 20 minutes per mile. Not too shabby. Then I putted in the yard all day, Mowed both on rider and push mower, did some weeding and sprayed grass for weeds. It felt good t o be out there doing things. It was a lovely day 80 degrees.

    Most days got exercise in so far --- but Sunday and yesterday I was simply too busy and had no time to get it in. Today is going to be a different story, got to get my streak going again.

    March 21......16,555
    March 22......10,357
    Somehow I feel I let myself down yesterday as I've had a good week, but in reality I managed to meet my goal so its good.
    On a side note my husband had cataract surgery yesterday so I was pretty much sitting at the place waiting on him most of the day, when I got home it was nearly noon, went to go for my walk but didn't finish as I was getting overheated, it was 85 degrees. Now I can handle heat but its better to work up to the warmer temperatures, gives your body a chance to acclimate. LOL. Today it will be warm again, I may have to take him for his recheck or he may drive himself. We shall see.

    Well done. Waiting for surgery to end can blow a big part of the day. You still made goal that is the important part.

    I have my 28 rolling days average back up to 10K+. So I am a happy camper.

    Yes you did great too.
    March 23.. 17,607 steps
    March 24.. 17,942 steps. And fortunately I got my 10,000 steps in or today as the skies are darkening with heavy rains for today. But I feel good. I upped my walk to 4 miles the last 3 days, whew have to really make myself do that.. Two more weeks till my knee surgery so I want to push myself as much as I can so I don't lose too much while out of commission. But go figure this I gained a pound overnight. Hopefully its just water retention. Will shall see in the morning.
