Welcome :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: This thread has been very encouraging to me.

Yesterday I walked just over 22,000 steps.

Today after line dance I'm riding to Seattle with two friends for a weekend business meeting so I will be sitting a lot and expect that even if I get to the hotel fitness center before bed and go for a walk at lunch, my steps will be lower than usual. I'm going to aim for 10,000 steps. I feel sorry for the people in the hotel room below me tonight if I have to walk back and forth to get to my goal :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OMG Barbie - over 22,000 steps!. Would it suprise you to learn that 5 years ago when I was much more physicially fit, I ran a 5K, walked all over Center City Philadelphia and still did not rack up that kind of mileage! I am sure you must be in the top 1% of all walkers. It also would not surprise me to learn if you walked more than anyone on this entire site. Don't you stop posting in this thread or I will ferret you out and bring you back since you're such a great role model. :drinker:

12693 I think is all I am going to get today. I am done. My hip is hurting and I am ready to lay in bed and read.

I did day 2 of c25k today. I increased my distance. So I must be running faster.

By 10am I had 5,000steps.

See you all tomorrow

Congratulations annasid78, nice work! I'm checking in a little later than usual. I had only put in 2.75 miles and was beat, but I noticed my calorie consumption exceeded the calories burned today. I got on my treadmill at 1:15 a.m. and walked 3 brisk miles on an incline for a total of 5.75 miles today. Tomorrow I must buckle down and do some weight lifting. I hope everyone has a great weekend and continues to check in with her progress. Talk to you later.

just completing my Friday though it is 1:30 a.m.

14296 today and that's with no "real" exercise!

I stayed plenty busy watching a friends baby daughter and getting some cleaning done.
Tonight the same friend hosted a Crop for the Cure (Breast Cancer) and I helped her with that/
The best part was walking all around to help clean up after the event...

Busy busy day tomorrow and I am hoping to get more steps in than I did today!

Happy weekend, my walking friends!!

Bad day today. I did a number of chores, was very hungry, brought home roasted chicken and ate too much. I have been eating too much all night and only walked about 2 miles. I also don't feel well. I will try to get back on the program tomorrow. I hope your day was better than this.

I was gone from Friday after lunch to Saturday evening on a business trip. I knew I had to be vigilant about finding opportunities to walk and I had some success.

I left my laptop home so I would be forced to use my free time to walk or use the hotel fitness room. It was a good decision because the wifi in the hotel wasn't free and hotel fitness room was fabulous. I traveled with women who are the in the same health and wellness business with me and we brought our own food so there were no issues about eating at restaurants and extra time to go to the fitness center.

On Friday I went to line dance in the morning and walked on deck during the ferry ride and used the stairs instead of the elevator in the hotel and ended up with 17,167 steps.

On Saturday I took the stairs down to the fitness room and walked on the treadmill for almost an hour. I used the treadmill again for 30 minutes during the lunch break and walked for 20 minutes on the ferrry. In spite of Saturday being sit in a chair events from 8 to 4:30, it was such a long walk to the washrooms that I got a lot of exercise making several trips.:laugh: Steps on Saturday 14,398 :bigsmile:

hugs and happy Sunday

This was my day of rest but I did manage to get 2,883 steps in. But tomorrow back to the grime of things. Diet and walking.It is goning to be cooler and that will help. It is really hard for me to get 5,000 in. So I get out often. try to get 1,000 steps in each time........ Calie

Back in the swing of things today!!! Most times when I get off course it takes a long time for me to get back to diet and exercising, but this web site - most importantly, this thread - has made me accountable and motivated. Thank you, ladies. I walked 5.43 miles today for a total of 12,749 steps. Have a good night. Talk to you tomorrow.:flowerforyou:

Good morning girls. My old body is aching. So I took it easy yesterday and slept till noon this morning. and feel so much better, I am not counting my steps today, just enjoy my walk with my little Sammy dog. No pressure of trying to keep up. I will go to my doc tomorrow and see if she will put me on the med for my pain. I was on it a long time ago and it just made me sleepy but did help my ddiabetic pain. I will keep walking but not counting steps for awhile. and keep checking in here. ...............Calie

steps on Monday 15.318 line dance, dog park, and a million chores around the house.

today I took a walk in the morning before the rain started---I'd better enjoy the good walking weather because it won't be here for long

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Calie----I hope your rest has helped you and I hope the doctor can find a good remedy for the pain----you need to be up and about soon. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Peschuntz

CalieCat, I'm sorry to hear of your discomfort. You are right to not push yourself. Hope you feel better soon. You are an important member of this thread so even if you can't count steps, please continue to post. If you feel comfortable sharing, please let us know how your dr.'s appt. goes.

Just got back from a walk with my dog, I put in 12,457 steps today or 5.30 miles. Beautiful fall walking weather. I also purchased a DVD workout with 2lb. weighted balls, and I might rest up and try it this evening. Have a great evening everybody, talk to you tomorrow. :happy: :happy: :happy:

I almost forgot to post my goal for the month of October!!! I have decided to opt for walking 5 miles at least 6 days a week (optional Sundays off). That means 27 days walking X5 miles daily or a monthly goal of 135 miles. Please, if you haven't done so, post your October goal, tomorrow is the last day of September.

Hi Girls

Calie Same here!! I hope your dr can help, please keep checking in when you can.

Please ...Feel better soon:flowerforyou:

My Monday count 13453

Pes I posted my goal last week, I'll look for it & post it again.

everyday

Found it

"Pes I think I will stay with 10 k per day.. thats about 4 miles."

"So my goal for October is 310 k steps/124 miles in 31 days "

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
The arithmetic of setting a goal for the whole month is making my head swim. My pedometer keeps track one day at a time and keeps an average of steps for the preceding 28 days.

Right now my average for the last 28 days is over 16,000 steps but with the colder, wetter, darker weather coming up in October, the opportunities to go for a walk the way I've been doing all summer won't be there.

I've been successful with a goal of11,000 steps a day this month (I put a sticker on the calendar for that) but I've really been aiming for 14,000 and hitting that pretty regularly.

:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
so my goal for October will be to keep my average above 14,000 :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Good luck to all of us. We can make a difference in our lives.:flowerforyou:

Happy October
