CALIECAT

Barbie, that fantastic. I got 3,000 in yeserday and well on my way to 3,000 today. Just need 300 steps to have it.
Next week I will try for 3500. Sunday is day off, to let my leg get a rest.
I am thinking about getting one of those HJ- 300. I also want to get one of those blood pressure monitor by omron. the one I had quit working. I kind of cheated last night. I put it on everytime I went to the bathroom during the night.
I put it in a sock and tuck it in my underwear. It worked. So I had 500 steps before I even left the house. A step is a step. These last 300 should be easy to make.
Mine go back to 0 at 11:00pm
Hi stepping Granny~~~Calie

Peschuntz

Calie, it's all good, and you're so right, a step is a step! I walked 19,726 steps today. Some of it was leisurely, e.g., running chores. Went to Weight Watchers and lost 2.6 since last meeting. I was so happy I came home and grabbed Taffi to go out but she didn't want to walk tonight. Came in, loaded up the ipod and stayed on my treadmill for 90 minutes. I'm tired. Have a good night all.

:flowerforyou: Caliecat, I have to put on my jeans, sweatshirt, and jacket first thing in the morning to walk the dogs. I put my step counter in my jeans pocket first thing so that by the time I drink my tea in the morning I've walked over 1000 steps and they are recorded on my step counter. The last thing I do at night after brushing my teeth, is change into night clothes and put my step counter in the kitchen waiting for me to get it in the morning. I record every step I take. If my step counter didn't need to be be plugged in overnight to recharge, I'd walk it to the bathroom in the middle of the night like you do. :laugh:

:flowerforyou: Peschuntz, congratulations on your weight loss and your great step count :bigsmile:

My steps on Wednesday were 16,678----line dance, shopping, dog park and lots of dog walking.

This is my weigh in day on another thread and I'm down one more pound.:drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Let's have a great day.

Good morning girls

We worked outside yesterday part of the day, my Wed steps were 10413.

I know achieving my goal of 10 k steps a day is a good basic measure (foundation) of my daily movement. You being here makes me accountable!

I have been diligent this week I am down 5.5 lbs.

~Congrats Pes & Barbie your going to make it!!!

Have a GREAT Thurs. :flowerforyou:

Nice work, everyday! Today's total was 18,158 steps or 8.02 miles. I did 3 Leslie Sansone DVDs - one mile, 2 mile and 4 mile challenge plus I walked about 1 1/2 miles. As far as I can tell, I walked over 8 1/2 miles yet my pedometer indicates 8.02. I always document my exercise on the conservative side so I'm not disappointed by my results.

Hi everyone,
I love my pedometer so I thought I would add this thread.

barbiecat

I see you have some dogs of your own, tell us about them. In fact, how many posting on this thread own dogs and go for long walks with them? :flowerforyou:

My dogs are Standard Poodles. Brandy is black and 4 years old. Sasha is red and two years old. I walk them on leashes one at a time on the hill near my house first thing in the morning. Later in the day I walk them together for about 3 minutes in the back yard. In the afternoon I take them to the off leash dog park. They like to run off leash much better than taking a walk with me. I walk at the dog park while they play and they stay close to me but they run much faster than I walk.:laugh:

CALIECAT

:yawn: Good morning everybody., Its is rainy this morning. Smells so nice. Sammy work me up at 6:00 am this morning. :yawn: He barks at the paper man every morning. So I am up and got my coffee going.

Tuesday i did get my 3,000 steps in./ i do it in 3 difference walk. so next week when i go up tp 3500 I just need to add a little over 100 steps a walk to ge t 3500 stepts. It sounds so much easieer breaking it down into 1/3 at a time. Or do a little more housework. ,more cooking and etc.

Hae no plans today. except get my walks in. Just heard on the news this rain should all be gone by 9:00 am. Will be nice and cool for it. And then we will have ou clolest weather today at 47 degree. Good sleeping and cudddling. Oh we do make a grocer run today.

Barbie, Pes, Everyday. Have a wonderful day.

Leanne Welcome I love your sunflowers. so tall.

Calie
Get those meters going.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Welcome. Lianne, this is a small but friendly and encouraging group. We all have different goals for our walking and compete against our own goals.

My goal is 14,000 steps. I put a sticker on my calendar for 11,000 steps. As the weather gets cooler, wetter, and darker, I think the steps will be harder to get.

Yesterday I got 16493 steps. With my husband out of town I do a lot more stuff around the house where I am up and down, back and forth a lot. I can do that when I'm alone. Also I have to do all the dog walking and that sure adds a lot of steps.

:flowerforyou: Caliecat, I get awakened in the morning by Bernie, the cat, meowing and walking on me when he thinks it's time to go out or if his food dish is empty. Today he woke me up at 5 and I lay in bed until 5:30 with Bernie and Sasha.

:flowerforyou: Pes, with your walking DVDs, the weather won't be as much of a problem for you getting your steps.

I have line dance this morning. Sometimes there's a group that goes out to lunch afterward so I might go with them since hubby won't be home to have lunch with me. I'm getting better at figuring out what to order in restaurants and still keep the calories down and the nutrition up.

Have a great Friday. :bigsmile: and drink some water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

leshawnturner

Woo HOO!!!:bigsmile: :drinker: I did over 10,000 steps yesterday plus did a 1 mile WATP!!!! :drinker: Yeah me!!!! I needed to do that especially since this weekend is birthday weekend and there are several parties to go to!!! It's been really cool and rainy this week, I hope it stops by next week. Although the weather man is saying it will still be cool after the rain stops and we might get our first frost on Sunday or Monday. Oh well :ohwell: , HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND PEEPS!!!

Good day today. Walked leisurely for 1 1/2 miles then combination fast walking/jogging on my treadmill at an incline for 5 miles and ended today's activity with 2 miles from Leslie Sansone's "Walk Your Belly Flat." Total for today was 20,060 steps or 8.55 miles. I need a good shower and a good night's sleep. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend but please don't forget to check in. Goodnight everyone.:drinker:

P.S. Almost forgot to list Wednesday's mileage which was 8.40 (I only listed steps).:flowerforyou: I'm not playing - I really want to lose this weight!

Another good day. I switched pedometers so according to this one I walked 20,044 steps for a total of 8.5 miles. I walked one mile on my treadmill, 4 miles outside at the park, 1/2 mile leisurely at the supermarket and did all 3 miles from Leslie Sansone's "Walk Your Belly Flat." Goodnight. A great evening to all!:flowerforyou:

annasid78

Gosh! Life has been crazy here! First I had ped troubles. :grumble: First it needed a new battery. Took it in, got that done. When they changed the battery they goofed something up. :explode: So htere goes another day. I figured it out and it is working now.

During that time we had TONS of flood water issues. Which ment my phone lines were way to wet for me to get my internet to work. ]

I think during all of this I stayed step wise on track. Food wise I havn't done to terrible either. I did have a slip up on thursday :blushing: , but I have done well since. :flowerforyou:

Today I did C25k W3 D1. It was sooo awesome! :flowerforyou: I felt so alive when I finished I have never jogged for 3 min straight before!! :drinker: I did that 2 times.. I even some happy tears when I was done.

Looks like my count for today is roughly 11,896. I don't think I am going to do much of anything between now and going to :yawn: bed.

Good Night all!

I walked 24,019 steps yesterday. At bedtime I only needed 200 more steps to get to 24,000 so I walked up and down the hall for awhile counting my steps so I could get to the next thousand :laugh: :laugh:

Today is my cleanse day where I have a fairly limited number of calories so I probably won't get as much exercise. I took a walk this morning that ended up being over an hour but I'll probably take it easy the rest of the day.

There was a man on the trail (it's paved) this morning with a walker. He was taking it slow but he looked determined. His walker was one that had a seat so I guess he could stop for a rest along the way.

:flowerforyou: Pes, you're doing great. With your walking DVDs the weather will never keep you down

:flowerforyou: Calie, enjoy your daughter's birthday but be smart about what you eat. You may surprise yourself at how many steps you walk preparing that yummy dinner.

Hey Girls

Ditto here...

Its been - GO - GO - GO here !!!

But logged in 14639 steps for Sat & that is w/ no formal work- out.

This week coming will be slower... hope to catch up here!

Toodles...... stupid, I know but I couldn't resist!!

Peschuntz

Hello all,

Here's the scoop - according to my pedometer I walked exactly 8 miles today. Nonetheless, I walked with my dog for 4.9 miles then did a "4 Mile Super Challenge Walk." When I finished with my 4 mile walk, my pedometer only indicated a total of 7.6 miles, so I jumped on my treadmill until it reached an even 8 miles. Frustrating as today's total steps were 18,825, but I know I walked over 9 miles!!!

The rest of you girls are doing great - everyday, Calie and Barbie (you hit the ball out of the park!) Your presence on this thread is so motivating, keep posting ladies! Talk to you tomorrow.

leshawnturner

Hey, Hey, Hey!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: You ladies are AWESOME!!!!!! :happy: Man, the numbers on the ped is incredible!!! This weekend was kinda iffy with the food but great with the exercise. I did Zumba for 45 min on Sat and got in a total of 11,000 steps. Then on Sunday, I had a lot of running around to do plus I had to cheer my niece on in her basketball game so I took alot of steps (16,000!!!!!:noway: :smooched: )!!!!! Yay me!!!!! :smooched: :bigsmile: :drinker:

I'm off to a slow start this morning but I think its because my ped is getting worn out. I'm might have to switch to my back up one soon.

Have a great day!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

CALIECAT

Barbie you are a wonder. Wonder how many steps you will take tomorrow. My walker has a seat And I do used it. To take my breaks. I think the ciculations is getting a lot better in my legs. Pes you are doing outstanding. Everyday. you are doing great.
and our newer member lesha Really took off. She will be walking across Texas soon.

steps on Sunday 19005----I guess I didn't take it all that easy. I walked for an hour and a half in the morning and took the dogs up on the hill a lot more often than usual so the steps added up

:flowerforyou: Pes, I try to ignore the mileage I walk because so much of what I do isn't really distance like line dance.

I just came back from walking an hour and 43 minutes so by the end of the day, the numbers should be good.

:flowerforyou: Calie, I didn't see the man with the walker today but I saw a deer on the trail

:flowerforyou: leshawn, do you like zumba? I've heard reports that it's really fun. you are doing great. you have interesting ways to keep moving.

happy Monday

Barbie, what a sight to see a deer on your walk. All I see is a big old train going by. but they toot their whistle at me and wave. Amtrack comes thru twice a day. The freight trains all the time. Sammy used to high tail it home when one comes by but now he just keep on doing what he was doing. Don't bother him now. JUst the gabage truck. When one comes he hi tail it home. Now the ups truck he would chase it. and Motorcycle. he would chase. if I let him. Have to really keep an eye on him. I need to keep a lease in my seat for that reason.

My steps for the day is 6,500 The most I have done. We went to super target to get me a radio. And walk around some. But My goal for this week is still 3500. I was ready for a couple tylemol after I made my last trip. We will see how I feel in the morning.

Calie, we don't have any trains here. There used to be a train here and now some of the train route is part of the trail. Several parts of the trail cross what used to be railroad trestles I'm going to try to share some pictures from the trail. I'll let you know when I do it.

I uploaded three pictures from the trail. The one you can see is the deer on the side of the trail

If you look at my profile there is a picture of the deer on the trail (far away) and a picture of one of the trestle bridges. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

OMG! I refused to allow myself to go to sleep until I put in over 8 miles. I can't tell you how many steps I walked because the pedometer cleared at midnight, but it did say I completed 6.1 miles. I really want to stick with my ongoing regimen so I hopped on the treadmill for another 2 miles. I know I'm being a bit compulsive but it's keeping me on track. Goodnight girls, have a great day tomorrow..
