    @amandaross887 Happy Anniversary!

    Despite continued progress in my weight loss journey I have slowed down my exercise routine due to sciatica and just do yoga. For the rest housework and cooking account for about 4000 steps a day which is clearly not enough but I have no option right now. This has led to some comfort eating.

    Exercise: Yes
    Calories: No
    Tracking: Yes

    Hey @heffalump2014 !
    I read a study. Average American 2700 steps. Walking 4000-4400 yielded huge increase in longevity than the 2700. No benefits -in terms of longevity over 7K steps.

    SO, I still walk my 10K To counteract my lifelong obesity, but now with the fires, I just make sure I get my 4K inside to get the health benefits.

    Pass Day #2

    Logged, but not under....not even close. Another sleepless night was the culprit. I did get lots of exercise, though.

    Happy Anniversary, @amandaross887!

    @corriepelc I've been watching the news about the California and Oregon fires. Terrible photos. Stay safe out there.

    @MadisonMolly2017 That is very helpful information. It fits with what I have learned over time. Moderate exercise is sufficient to maintain mobility and hold back decrepitude.

    @MadisonMolly2017...usually I do exercise beyond moderate. For the last 3 weeks, I've got the lumbar pain again. But, I'm working my way back....to a more calm and peaceful back.
    You are the best Ms. Maddie!
