    WOW, @Rainbow2300! That's a LOT of steps! It's sure to boost your caloric expenditure for the week! Impressive and inspiring!

    I hope to up my steps during the weekdays. The weather's not supposed to be that great here in Boston and I'm still having some foo pain, but I will try to gradually increase steps as I can. I also have a lot of activity DVD's and they are also online videos, so…NO EXCUSES! (As long as my foot pain steadily improves.)

    Enjoy your day!

    I walk a lot at my job so I’m logging my steps. It does increase my appetite so I need to make wise choices. I’m trying to stay away from bread.

    Hi everyone,

    Ah, @Rainbow2300, I did a lot of steps today, but you still beat me!🏆

    My right heel is still bothering me, but I was able to walk home today.

    I will post my average steps each week in a new post and start a new post listing each day's steps per week.

    I want to average at least 9,000 steps per day and at least 150 minutes of walking each week. I haven't timed my walking yet because I can't go at my workout speed yet, which is about 4mph.

    Have a great night,

    💞 Carole

    My knee is really bothering me today! Ugh..my leg muscles feel tight and are cramping up! Im trying some magnesium spray. Resting up, as it will be another busy week.

    Hi everyone,

    WOW! @Rainbow2300! Impressive! I hope your knee and your leg muscles made a quick recovery!

    Magnesium spray does help. It's kind of itchy and drying so I usually mix it in some lotion. I just ordered a new cream called "Arnicare" that's supposed to arrive tomorrow and is unscented. I'll let you know if it helps my feet. It gets great reviews! (If it helps I will post the Amazon link here.)

    I hope you get to rest and recover.

    I did 10,796 steps today. I got to walk to work but it was so raw and windy with rain I took the bus home.

    My work commute is about 2.3 miles each way.

    I'm pretty beat right now. I need to work my way back up to 4mph. I'm averaging about 3.75mph right now, but I still have that "foot thing" although it is gradually improving.

    Have a nice night,

    💞 Carole 🌷

    Hi Carole, @Walela617 Great job with the steps! During Covid I walked a lot and lost 10lbs! It was the lowest I’d weighed in a very long time. I know I can get back to that. I have an arnica oil I use and it’s great. I don’t mind the smell. It’s a brand called now. I also use magnesium spray. Def. don’t use that spray after you shave your legs though! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been icing my knee and thats helping too. How is your foot doing?

    @Walela617 This is the oil I’ve been using. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t stain clothes. It’s gentle warmth as you massage painful areas really works. I only paid $7 at a pharmacy by me. Prices vary online.

    Hi @Rainbow2300 thanks for that link! I will definitely check it out. So far my foot pain has been lessening daily. Once I get some of this weight off, it should improve even more.

    My scale shows that I'm back in the 150's. I hope to be 157 or less by Friday, April 18th. I'm going to log my food diligently so I don't go over 1,500 calories (my new daily imposed limit).

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    @Walela617 Im glad your foot pain is lessening! 😃 My knee is still bothering me but I keep taking care of myself. Spring is upon us and there’s so much to do!

    Hi @Rainbow2300, You're doing great, especially considering your knee is still bothering you! My right foot is almost completely normal now but I still get pain on the top of my left foot lower between the big and second toe - almost like a nerve pain.

    My walk to work is now averaging more than 4mph but the walks home have been a bit slower, like 3.7 mph.

    Last week's walks looked like this:

    It's easier to take a screen shot for last 7 days.

    Enjoy your day!

    Hi Carole! @Walela617 That’s awesome! Over 15,000 steps on Tues.! Wow! Good job!!! “Keep keepin’ on, and the weight will come off!”

    13,286 steps was my highest last week. Yeah, I’m getting pretty annoyed at this point with my knee pain especially when it comes to stairs! It’s been 3 weeks now. I may need to get it looked at. I’m a candidate for knee replacement and I’m just not wanting to do that at all! If I can just loose 10 lbs I know I’ll feel better. 😉

    Hi everyone,

    4/22: 16,334
    4/23: 6,566
    4/24: 10,214

    I will probably end up with over 10,000 today as well because I plan to walk home from work and might do a couple of errands as well.

    @Rainbow2300 My sister had both knees replaced (due to rheumatoid arthritis). It really helped her, but the recovery period is very long. (I'm not sure if it's still like that.) I know that if I take off at least 10 lbs. my foot pain will improve as well. (I'd like to take off about 20-25 lbs., but even 10 would make a difference, I'm sure.)

    Best wishes for the weekend!

    💗Carole

    WOW @Rainbow2300 ! You're really racking up the steps! Here are my steps and sleep time/score for yesterday:

    Screenshot_20250503_153718.jpg

    I won't be stepping much today or tomorrow because I'm not going anywhere, but I will report my steps anyway.

    Right now it's sunny and breezy with some clouds and 85° in Boston. Hope you're having nice weather too!

    💗 Carole
