I am really proud of the progress I've made on my first week doing this! However, last night when I got home from my evening walk, my legs and feet were killing me! I have good shoes (or it would likely be worse). I finished the night soaking my feet in a tub of warm water and Epsom salts. I don't think my body knows what I'm doing with it. LOL
Awesome stepping! There are time my body resist but eventually it understands. I did buy new sneakers for walking in the spring and that def helped my feet. I just need to use them more so I get back over 10,000 steps per day.0 -
Great first week everyone - keep on stepping!0

I missed this post when it first came up, but have been logging 10K steps on my fitbit since I got on 7/28. Lots of pacing involved to finish off that circle, but it's been worth it. :^)

I recharge my FLEX when I am in the shower, or better still taking a nice long bath. Hardly any steps missed!

Jumping in a week late, but this is a great way to get some extra motivation to get my steps in. Tomorrow will be 10 straight days and right now my goal is 100 straight days. I use a Jawbone Up and each time I get a streak notification is Awesome!. After some golf and a walk tomorrow, I'll get my 10 day. Anyhoo, here's August so far:

Hi everyone. My exercise usually comes from cycling but my bike is awaiting repairs at moment, so doing a lot of walking instead (at least, I'm trying to). Mainly use the GPS on my phone, but got given a Fitbit so thought I'd try it out on a trip to London on Saturday. 22803 steps later, I was absolutely knackered. Don't think I can keep that up every day but will aim for the 10k.0

Definitely a slow weekend. But today is Monday and I'm back at it!
