    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:

    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.

    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:

    The pedometer that my husband has is:

    Omron HJ-72OITC

    You can carry it in your pocket. It automatically resets at midnight. It remembers how many steps you walked in days past. You can link it to your PC and keep track of your steps. Easy to read. shows distance and calories burned

    I have a step counter on my phone and when we walk together I have more steps (because my legs are shorter and it takes for steps to walk the same distance) but the distance in miles comes out pretty close. I've had a lot of pedometers in the last few years and they weren't as accurate, didn't have as many features, and because they attached to my waistband, frequently fell off, reset, or got lost entirely. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I wanted to let you know that the past few days I have been really dragged out due to Epstein-Barr Virus. It's not been fun. I sit in a chair and fall asleep. I didn' t even make 2 1/2 miles today. Nonetheless, I am going to continue to post regularly and my steps will improve when this passes. Have a great night everyone! I get vicarious gratification from reading your progress.

    Greetings, girls. My daily total is 12,211 steps which translates into 5.20 miles. I'm going to have to add exercise and up my game or I will not lose any weight. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. :smile:
